So how exactly do you voice chat AND listen to the game on the Switch?

Like with all consoles and PC, just use Discord.

But if we're strictly talking about Nintendo's solution, what I think/hope they're meaning is that there's an app to check things like games, statuses of friends, messaging and organising times and events, which you can then use your Switch to VC.

But just use Discord anyways.

I think that it's possible that there could be an miscommunication on the concept on the site. I think that we will still have standard voice chat on the Switch with our headphones, standard logic applies here. We also have the ability to use an app on our phone to keep in contact with our friends. We can set up events, have a party chat, and just hang out over the app while we are out and about with our lives. I get the feeling that if this is the case, we're going to see a lot of no-life gamers online 24/7 while they go run errands.

Supposedly its confirmed that it works like what is said in this thread, on neogaf.
