My Overwatch 2 account was silenced.

We penalize your account if you are reported multiple times for Spam or Abusive Chat. The severity of this penalty increases each time we apply it to your account. These penalties begin with silences, but repeated violation of chat behavior can result in suspensions up to account closures.

The following list describes what you can and can't do while silenced. For more information, visit our Account Silenced article.

If the silence occurs while you're in a match, you'll be logged out after it ends. You will still receive XP earned during the match.
