How To Enable Push-To-Talk On Discord

First, open the ‘User Settings’ menu by clicking on the gear-like icon at the bottom of your screen. Then, select ‘Voice and Video’ from the left sidebar.

There you’ll be able to see setting to configure your input/output devices; you can also test your microphone and output volume, and if you scroll down (which you won’t need to) you’ll find all the video settings.

For now, you’ll stay in the first part in order to enable the PTT option.

You should see an option labeled ‘Push To Talk’ – click it and toggle it on! After this is done, Discord will save automatically.

Now, assign a hotkey to your cursor by clicking the “Shortcut” button, pressing your desired key, and clicking “Stop Recording”. We recommend using a key that is easily available during play and won’t interfere with the game itself.

If you want to add more than one key to PTT, you can also assign a keybind for activating Push To Talk – this means that whenever you press and hold down this key, your microphone will be activated so that other people can hear you speak.

To the right side of the Shortcut option, you’ll also find a bar to set the wanted delay. This is going to set how long will the microphone be active after you release the PTT assign key. It’s great for not having to keep your hand stuck to that key if you’re just going to say something quickly.
