How to whisper to someone/teammate in Valorant

Discuss your secret plan!

In a competitive game like Valorant, it is necessary to communicate with your teammates to discuss strategies and tactics. Apart from the group chat, the best way to contact your mates is to send a direct message to them. To whisper or send a direct message in Valorant, you will need to type in your friend's name, followed by your message in the chat bar.
