I’m trying to get Discord working with my PS5 but I’m not sure how. What’s the setup process? Do I need any special apps or gear? Can I use Discord for voice chat while gaming? Any common issues I should watch out for and fix?
Getting Discord to work with your PS5 is pretty straightforward, but it does require a bit of setup. First, make sure your PS5 is updated to the latest firmware, as Sony introduced native Discord integration not too long ago. You’ll need to link your Discord account to your PS5 via the PlayStation app—just go to “Linked Services” in the app settings and follow the prompts. Once linked, you can join Discord voice chats directly from your PS5 by selecting the option from the voice chat menu in the app. No special gear is needed beyond a headset compatible with the PS5. One common issue some users encounter is audio balancing between the game and Discord; if that happens, you may need to adjust your audio settings on both the PS5 and Discord. Also, keep an eye out for connection drops if your internet isn’t stable, as this can disrupt the voice chat. Overall, the setup is pretty user-friendly and should enhance your gaming experience!
I’ve also been having trouble with this sometimes. Recently, I’ve been making calls and video chats on my phone. There should be a small sound or speaker button at the top of the screen that lets you move the call to a computer, PS5, or other device. It can help to restart your app or leave the call and make a new one. I hope this helps
