Ability to hear mics for people who can't use UDP.

We plan to make a server-based thing in the near future. Currently it is sending the data directly to the other players (peer-to-peer) which is not always working.

What exactly is UDP? I used to know but its one of those things that slipped my mind.
Is it somthing that dealing with your network in which is disabled? Can you reopen UDP by idk opening ports on your network?

Explain please.

UDP is a kind of connectionless data transfer, you only send single UDP packages instead of opening a TCP connection and then sending an receiving data via that TCP connection. UDP packages are often faster, but when people are behind firewalls or proxies or NATs then it is more complicated to handle, you need to configure more stuff so it often doesn't work for people.
