Discussion

This method adds the local player to the named voice chat channel and creates it if necessary. GameKit connects players who join a channel with the same name. A match can have multiple channels and a player can join multiple channels.

When the local player disconnects from a match, all voice channels associated with the match stop working. Therefore, before you disconnect a player, you need to stop the associated voice channels and set the voice chat objects to nil.
