What is it?

BetterCrewLink adds proximity voice chat to Among Us. Players in the same lobby who run the program can talk over in-game voice without a third-party voice app, and spatial audio means you only hear people near your character.

The project is a fork of the original CrewLink with added features such as walls blocking audio, volume sliders, an OBS browser-source overlay, a public lobby list, and microphone echo cancellation and noise suppression. It runs on Windows and Linux, and mobile and other platforms are reached through a companion app and a web client.

Installation on Windows uses a setup executable, while Linux uses an AppImage that requires adjusting ptrace settings. Development uses Node.js with Electron and electron-vite, and the server code lives in a separate repository.
