The communication wheel in Overwatch 2 can be very useful if you don’t prefer using voice chat. Especially in situations where your team members don’t even speak the same language or are just annoying, you don’t have to compromise on group communication. The game is high octane and in many cases you may ask others to group up or you may need help with healing. Here’s how to use the link wheel in OW2 for this purpose.
How to use the Link Wheel in Overwatch 2
- PC players need to press and hold the C button (default) to view the link wheel. Now use your mouse to highlight the section you want to communicate to your team.
- Console players need to press the D-pad down to open the link wheel. Then use the analog stick to switch to the line.

- Launch the game and press the ESC key.
- Click OPTIONS.
- Click on the MANAGEMENT menu item.
- Then click COMMUNICATION on the left.
- Scroll down until you see the options. Now click on the dropdown arrow and select other phrases you want to say in the game.
