Sometimes, the push to talk button can stop working on Discord, which means that you can’t even test voice. This can be disadvantageous at times, especially if there is background noise that can be detected whenever you’re silent.įortunately, you can enable push to talk, which makes it so that Discord can only detect voice activity when you push and hold a specific button/key. This means that whenever you enter a voice channel and speak into the mic, Discord will detect your voice. Discord, by default, detects voice activity automatically.
