How to Set Up Discord Voice Chat on PlayStation 5

The highly anticipated Discord integration is finally released for PlayStation 5! This is a highly requested feature that allows you to use Discord voice chat from within your console.

However, you will need to do a little bit of setup before you can make full use of it.

Don’t worry, as we’ll walk you through every step of the process!

Getting Discord to Work on Your PlayStation 5

To make use of the new Discord integration, you will first need to make sure your PlayStation 5 is up to date.

On the Home Menu, go to the Settings section. Next, enter the System category and head over to the System Software tab.

Now, choose “System Software Update and Settings” and then select “Update System Software” followed by “Update Using Internet”.

If your system is already up to date, it will notify you. If it’s not, it will start downloading and installing the latest firmware for your console.

Linking Discord and PlayStation Accounts

With your PlayStation 5 up to date, navigate to Settings once again. Now, choose “Users and Accounts” and then scroll to Privacy. Select “View and Customize Your Privacy Settings”.

Scroll down to the “Your Activity” section. Make sure that your online status privacy is set to “Anyone”. This is vital to make sure Discord integration works!

Next, exit the Privacy section of your settings. Back on the “Users and Account” pages, select “Linked Services”. Select Discord from the list of apps to link it to your account.

Follow the instructions on the screen until you get confirmation that your accounts are successfully linked.

Joining Voice Chat on PlayStation 5

After that, you should then open Discord on your phone or computer. Join any voice chat channel you wish to use. Look for the “Transfer to PlayStation” option. You should see this on the focused voice channel view on your phone and computer.

Click on it and choose your PlayStation 5 console.

Lastly, press the PlayStation button on your controller. Once you’re done, you should see a notification with a Discord Voice Chat card. Join the chat from here and you’re done!
