No
My Co-pilot only says 80kts when you just landed and not when you are taking off.
P.S.
How can you change this in the crewing settings?

Does the plane you are using not come with an airspeed indicator?
If it's stupid, but it works, it isn't stupid.

Then why do you require some voice from the great beyond tell you a particular airspeed? You're the pilot, fly the plane as if you were
solo.
BTW: Why do you care when you reach 80 kts on the takeoff roll in a 737? That number is meaningless to reach Vr.
If it's stupid, but it works, it isn't stupid.

I think there might be a way to get the copilot to say certain V speeds. I think you can put them into the manifest, but I am not sure if that does
anything.

V1 and Vr are not set numbers. They are a mathmatical function of DA and GW. They change all the time so setting a speed number is
not correct.
If it's stupid, but it works, it isn't stupid.

Well technically the 80 KTS call out is correct protocal from low speed to high speed regime

The 80 kts call out is for if the copilot calls 80 kts but the captins airspeed does not read 80 kts or vise versa the takeoff should be rejected because the pito tube is most likely blocked. It's normal
protocol for most airlines.

The pilot flying (PF) also is to have their eyes "Outside the airplane." In other words looking at the departure end of the runway/ looking for
runway obstructions (deer, other aircraft, small children.) The pilot not flying (PNF) is monitoring things like airspeed, engine indications,
annunciator lights, etc. The division of duties is pretty important even in airplanes as small as the King Air's because there's a lot happening
in those 20 or so seconds on the takeoff roll.
So having the PNF call "80 kts" Is pretty handy cause when you're not looking at the airspeed indicator it can give you more detailed
information on the bigger picture of what the airplane is doing.

the 80KIAS thing is to verify that both airspeed indicators have the same reading.
I like to call 80KIAS and 100KIAS. at 80 you look to see if KIAS is around 80 if theres a big varience you should be concerned. the 100KIAS call is for
you to check your standby airspeed
my FSpcopilot dosent say it on T/O ither thoue, so if there is a setting for it im not familler withit.
note thoue not everyone uses the 80 or 100KIAS callouts. they are company SOPs
