A revolutionary new feature has recently been introduced to Xbox consoles. Discord, the communication platform for gamers, has finally officially launched Xbox console voice chat integration.
Since its official launch in 2015, Discord has quickly become one of the internet’s most popular ways to communicate on PC and mobile devices, whether via voice chat or text chat. Xbox players have been clamoring for the service to come to consoles for years, and Microsoft’s attempts to buy Discord have only reinforced this claim. As of September 13, 2022, these claims have now been replaced by reality.
Xbox users can now finally use Discord voice chat, albeit in a rudimentary version. However, you will need to take some steps to make your Xbox console Discord-ready. Here is what you need to do to use the Discord app on your Xbox.
How do I use Discord on Xbox?
To use Discord on your Xbox, you need to download the Xbox and Discord apps to your PC or phone. If you have these apps, let’s move on to the steps without wasting time:
1. Connect Discord to your Xbox
The first step you need to do is open Discord. Once you’re in the app, go to the settings tab by tapping on your profile picture in the bottom right corner on mobile or by tapping on the gear icon in the bottom left if you’re a PC user. Then go to the “ Connections ” tab. On the Connections page, you’ll see another tab that says Add. Click on that and find Xbox. After selecting Xbox, log in to your Xbox account via the Discord app. Once the connection is established, you’ll see a prompt asking you to have the Xbox app on your phone or computer.
2. Enter Discord voice chat on Xbox
Now that you have linked your accounts, getting into a voice chat is easy. When you join a Discord voice channel on your phone, tap on the tab that says “ Join on Xbox .” This will take you to the Xbox app, where you will see an option to “ Transfer Voice .” Once you select this option, you can enjoy Discord on your console.
If you are using a computer to enter voice chat, press the Xbox button on your controller and select ” Try Discord ” from the Parties-Chats option . You can then enter voice chat by scanning the QR code from the Xbox Mobile app.
