Description

Description:
Enables/disables UI functionality which is responsible for sending text or voice chat to the given chat channel. If the channel was disabled in Description.ext or server.cfg, it can be enabled with this command, however the UI functionality changes will be local to the PC executing this command.
This command:
  • cannot disable Global channel for the admin or server host, because Global channel is always available for the admin
  • does not disable incoming text or voice
  • Prior to Arma 3 v2.01.146856 did not interrupt own client's transmission in progress (but prevented any further ones)
  • does not affect chat related scripting commands such as vehicleChat, globalRadio etc.
