Enable and configure Push-to-talk in Discord (Quick & Easily)

Push-to-Talk (PTT) on Discord is a useful feature that lets you control when your microphone sends audio. It’s great for managing background noise and making sure you communicate clearly during voice chats. This mode requires you to press a chosen key to talk, which helps block unwanted sounds and gives you control over your audio.

PTT is especially popular among gamers and team chats, where clear communication and fewer distractions are important. By using PTT, you can stay focused and create a better audio experience for everyone.

Now, let’s continue with a detailed guide.

How to Enable Push to Talk in Discord

1. Find your username in the bottom left corner of the screen and tap the settings icon next to it.

   

2. In Discord’s settings, scroll down and tap on Voice & Video (Voice).
   
3. Tick the box next to Push to Talk to enable this feature.
   

How to Configure Push to Talk in Discord

1. Open Settings and go to the Keybinds section. You can set multiple shortcuts for various features, which is handy if you’re playing different games. Add as many as you need.
   Note: The Web version of Discord lacks a Keybinds tab, so I recommend using the desktop version. Alternatively, go to Settings > Voice & Video under App Settings to edit keybinds.
   
2. Select Add a Keybind in the top-right corner.
   
3. Choose Push to Talk as the action. Click Record Keybind, press the key you want for Push to Talk, then select Stop Recording to save it.
   
4. Go to Settings > Voice (Voice & Video). Adjust the Push to Talk Release Delay slider to control how quickly Discord stops your voice after releasing the key. The minimum is 20 ms, but set it a bit higher to avoid accidental interruptions.
