About This Software

Tired of always playing the game with one ear off?

Closed headsets keep the game loud and the room out, including the person beside you. CO-OP Comms fixes that. The PC with the mic hosts, the other joins, and that one mic plays in both headsets on top of your game audio, over your wired home network. Two people, two PCs, one conversation, and nobody lifts an earcup.

Buy the host, get the client free

Only the host pays. The other PC's copy is free. The host runs CO-OP Comms; the guest runs CO-OP Comms Client Only, a free download that only joins, never times out and never asks for payment.

How it works

One PC hosts the mic, on any supported OS: Windows, macOS or Linux, mixed or matched. The other PC just connects: the host shows up by name, you press Join, and you're talking. The fiddly bits (finding the host, cleaning up your voice, sharing your headset with the game) are handled for you.

What's in it

• One mic, both headsets. Host hears it direct, guest over the cable.
  
• Near instant. Faster still with noise suppression off, and the guest sees the delay live.
  
• Clean voice. Noise suppression by default, plus a noise gate that adds no delay.
  
• Shares your audio. The game and Discord keep using your headset and mic.
  
• Stays on your network. Audio goes to the other PC, nowhere else. No accounts of its own, no telemetry, no analytics.
  
• One-tap controls. Mute, Noise gate, Noise suppression: one tap each, built for touch.

What you need

• Two PCs in one room, both wired by Ethernet to the same router or switch on your own home network. No Wi-Fi, no internet play.
  
• A headset on each PC. Speakers would feed back into the mic.
  
• A microphone on the host PC, placed where it hears you both. The guest needs none.
  
• Windows 11, macOS 26 or later on Apple silicon, SteamOS 3, or 64-bit Linux that runs Steam. Mix them as you like.

Exactly two PCs: a host with a guest shows as busy and turns a third away.

Good to know

• You hear yourself. By design: the host's mic plays in both headsets, your own voice included.
  
• Mute. The host's Mute silences both headsets. The guest's silences only the guest's.
  
• Discord. If the host's mic is also Discord's input, the other person mutes their mic in Discord, or your friends hear the room twice.
  
• First run. Windows asks once about the firewall: allow private networks, and switch a home network marked Public to Private. macOS asks for Microphone on the host and Local Network on both.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

CO-OP Comms uses a small on-device neural network, RNNoise, for its noise suppression. It runs entirely on the host PC, removes background noise from the microphone as you talk, and creates no content of its own; no audio leaves your local network. Generative AI was also used to produce this store page's artwork and trailer (footage, voice-over and music).
