Proximity Chat is a supported client mod that allows you to communicate with others, through voice, in-game without relying on third-party software. With Proximity Chat enabled, you will be able to hear others around you (within a certain range) and form groups with others. The mod contains a detailed in-game menu (by default, accessible by pressing 'v') that allows you to configure audio and microphone settings.
