Per-person volume

Make one person louder or quieter just for you, from 0 to 400% on the phone and watch.

Change how loud one person is for you. Nobody else is affected.

Phone

Open Everyone here and tap a person.
Use the slider (0 to 400%), or tap 50%, 100%, 200% or 400%. A changed volume shows as a percentage under their face.

Watch

In this room › tap a person › Volume (0 to 400 percent, with 50%, 100%, 200% and 400%). Up to 200% it moves by 10, above that by 50. A screen reader calls the step buttons Quieter and Louder.

Web app and iPhone

Tap a person and use the Volume for you slider (0 to 400%). It is kept for your account in this browser.

Good to know

The slider goes down to 0%, and the person shows Muted for you under their face. To stop hearing someone for a while, use Mute [name] for you: it is the one mute for a person. See Mute a person.
A limiter keeps a very loud voice clean instead of letting it crackle, so 400% may not sound louder than 200%, and with Volume boost already high the last steps add less. The phone and watch say so under the slider; the web slider does not. In headphones, the phone warns you above 150% (Loud in headphones. Protect your hearing.). The web can’t tell which output you use and gives no warning, so on the web keep it moderate in headphones: a loud voice at 400% can hurt your hearing.
It is for this device only: Only for you, on this phone. Your watch has its own. A change on the phone does not change the watch. It stays when you sign out and sign back in to the same account on that device, and starts fresh for a different account.
In a room where several people can talk at once, setting anyone’s volume turns off the levelling of that mix, so you hear what you set. In rooms where one person talks at a time, Replay keeps the volume you set for each person.
Someone still hard to hear over music? See Volume booster apps in Sounds and vibration.
To level everyone at once, see Even out voices.
