All voice chat settings are in the game's audio options. Navigate to the options menu (either in-game or on the main menu screen) and select the third tab from the right. Scroll down to find the Voice Chat settings. You'll see three options: Enable, Disable, and Push-to-Talk. "Enable" keeps voice chat constantly on; "Disable" turns it off completely; and "Push-to-Talk" activates voice chat only when you press a designated keyboard key (keyboard only).
Further options control voice chat volume and auto-toggling. Voice chat auto-toggle prioritizes voice chat with either your current quest members, your link party members, or disables automatic switching. Quest members are those currently in your active hunt; this is likely the most useful setting. Link members are those in your link party, ideal if assisting someone through the story, as it allows for easier communication during cutscenes.
That covers in-game voice chat in Monster Hunter Wilds. While the audio quality isn't as high as dedicated apps, the in-game option is convenient, especially for cross-platform play.
