You can now join Discord voice chats on Xbox without ‘transferring’ from mobile

While Discord support for PS5 is still on the way, Xbox consoles have had access to the voice chat service for a while now. With the latest Xbox Series X/S OS update, Discord calls can now be managed directly on the console itself. 

Previously, you would have to link your Xbox and Discord accounts, and then open up Discord on your phone to transfer a call over to your console, which was a clunky experience to say the least. With the latest update, the whole process of accessing Discord on Xbox is much simpler.

You can now join a voice channel directly from your console with the following steps:

1. Link your Discord and Xbox accounts
2. On your Xbox dashboard, navigate to the Xbox Guide
3. Scroll to Parties & chats, and select Discord “Join a voice channel”
4. Scroll through a list of available Discord servers and voice channels and join one.

Users will also be able to see a preview of their friends who are in a Discord server and voice channel before joining from their console. You'll even be able to benefit from features like noise suppression and Krisp for better noise cancelling.

KitGuru Says: This is a significant update that will make using Discord on Xbox feel like more of a native, built-in experience. Hopefully we'll see the exact same thing with Discord on PlayStation once it arrives next year.
