About The Project

This project implements proximity voice chat in Among Us. Everyone in an Among Us lobby with this program running will be able to communicate over voice in-game, with no third-party programs required. Spatial audio ensures that you can only hear people close to you.

Installation

Windows

Download the latest version from releases and run the BetterCrewLink-Setup-X.X.X.exe file. You may get antivirus warnings, because this program hooks into the Among Us process to read game data.

Linux

To install & run it on Linux run the following commands:

chmod +x BetterCrewlink-Linux.AppImage
echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
./BetterCrewlink-Linux.AppImage

The Linux version is thanks to the following contributors:

• TheGreatMcPain -> Crewlink fork, Keyboard watcher fork, memoryjs fork
• zbanks -> Memoryjs fork
• Donokami -> Testing and helping

Android

Go to category Installation in BetterCrewlink-mobile to see how to install the Android version. (requires a PC player)
