Parental control
Voice chat settings default to the “Nobody” option if a player is under 18, according to Epic Games. For players under 10, the maximum setting that’s allowed in Fortnite is “Friends Only.”
If you have voice chat restrictions due to parental controls, then you should ask them to change the settings.
Parents can change the settings through the site with an Epic account in the parental control section.
