Play together, with a wingman in the room
Last updated 9 October 2026Talk with up to five friends by voice and text, on top of whatever each of you is playing — the same game or different ones. The wingman sits in the party too: anyone can ask it, out loud or with @wingman in the chat, and everyone gets the answer, labelled with who asked and whose match it used. Add friends with a code or a link, start a party, and talk. Nothing is recorded: voice is never stored, and party chat is deleted a day after the party ends.
Four friends, three games, one room — and a wingman answer that says whose match it used.
01
What you get
- Voice and text together: Open mic or push to talk, mute yourself or one person, and a chat that keeps going while you play. Members who join late see the recent messages.
- Pictures from the game: share a screenshot, a region of your screen, or the last few seconds of gameplay as a short clip — you see it before it's sent, and up to 10 go in one message.
- @wingman for everyone: anyone in the party can ask, by text or by voice, and the spoken answer plays in the room. Each member can stop it for themselves.
- Works over every game: it's part of the overlay, so it runs on top of any game WingHUD supports — and the party doesn't care whether you're all in the same one.
- Send an answer to the party: got good advice in your own game chat? One click posts it to the party as a card.

How it works
Start a party
Click Party on the game bar, start one, and invite friends who are online — they get a small pop-up over their game with Join.
Talk
Voice starts on its own. Type, share a picture, or ask the wingman — out loud or with @wingman.

The wingman in the room
When someone asks, the wingman answers with their game context — their live match, their profile, what WingHUD remembers about them — and every answer says so: “answered for Razr · using Razr's live match.” It knows who's in the party and what each of you is playing, so group questions work too: “what should the three of us play tonight?”
It never guesses another member's stats, and it won't bring up your own remembered notes in front of the party unless you ask. The answer counts toward the allowance of whoever asked — parties themselves don't use anyone's. The party leader can switch the wingman off for the party.

Private by design
Party voice goes live between members and is never recorded. Party chat and pictures are only for the party's members and are deleted 24 hours after the party ends. Other players see your display name and friend code — never your email.
| What | Who sees it |
|---|---|
| Display name | Your friends, players you send a request to, your party, and anyone who opens an invite link you share |
| The game you're in | Your friends and your party — or nobody, with “Show what I'm playing” off |
| Party chat and pictures | Party members, until 24 hours after the party ends |
| Party voice | Members in the room, live only |
Block and report from day one: every friend row and every member's avatar has Block and Report. A blocked player can't add you or join your parties; a report sends the last 30 messages of the party to the WingHUD team. See the Privacy Policy for exactly what's kept and for how long.

Frequently asked
Is party voice recorded?
No. Party voice goes live from your microphone to the other members and is never recorded or stored. WingHUD keeps only when each member joined and left a party's voice, for 180 days, to measure usage. Party text is deleted 24 hours after the party ends.
Who pays when someone asks the wingman in a party?
The person who asked. Parties, party chat and party voice don't use anyone's allowance; a wingman answer counts toward the allowance of whoever asked for it, and it uses that person's own game context.
Does my friend need WingHUD?
Yes. Everyone in a party uses WingHUD on Windows 10 or 11. A friend who doesn't have it can install it free during the open beta, or you can email them an invite: open the Friends widget, click Invite to WingHUD and type their email. When they sign up, you start out as friends.
Do I need to forward ports for party voice?
No. Party voice only makes outgoing connections, so there is nothing to forward on your router. If voice stays on Connecting, a firewall or security suite is usually blocking WingHUD; allow it there.
Can I use it with Discord open?
Yes. WingHUD's party voice works alongside Discord or any other voice app. Keep only one of them hearing your microphone if you don't want to be heard twice.
How many people can be in a party?
Up to six players, plus the wingman. Each of you can be playing a different game.
