3. Click on the Telephone icon to disconnect from League Voice completely.

From the Client

The best way to permanently disable your voice chat is from the clients’ settings. While it involves more steps than turning off the chat from in-game, you never have to worry about randomly connecting to the voice chat if you disable it from the client.

1. Launch the League of Legends Client.
2. Open Settings.
3. Go to the Voice Tab.
4. Uncheck the “Join Voice Channel Automatically” option.
