How to talk to each other in minecraft?

When playing minecraft on LAN I have tried to setup microphone and speakers. I'm not able to use microphone and speakers to make my kids talk to each other. They keep yelling through the house: "I'm here, come help me" "Wow, did you see that" etc etc. How do I setup the microphone in minecraft so they can talk to each other?

Minecraft does not actually have a built in voice chat. If you're already running modded Minecraft and are familiar with setting up server mods, it does appear that there are mods that can add voice chat. However, the easiest thing to do is probably to get Discord set up on the two computer and set them up with a voice channel so they can talk that way.
