Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use Discord while playing on Xbox:
- Download the Xbox and Discord apps: Install the Xbox mobile app and the Discord app on your smartphone or tablet, if you haven’t already. Both apps are available on Android and iOS devices.
- Sign in to your accounts: Sign in to your Xbox account on the Xbox mobile app, and sign in to your Discord account on the Discord app.
- Set up party chat on Xbox mobile app: Launch the Xbox mobile app, and tap the icon at the top right corner that looks like a group of people. This is the “Parties & chats” menu. From here, you can create a party or join an existing one. Once you’ve joined a party, you can use the voice chat feature to communicate with your friends while playing on Xbox.
- Set up Discord voice chat: On the Discord app, join a voice channel in a server, or create a group call with friends. Make sure you have permission to join the voice channel or create a call.
- Connect headphones or earphones: Plug a pair of headphones or earphones with a built-in microphone into your smartphone or tablet to have clear audio while using both Xbox party chat and Discord voice chat.
- Mute your microphone on one app: To avoid echoing and feedback, mute your microphone on either the Xbox mobile app or the Discord app. You can choose which app you want to use for voice communication.
- Manage both apps simultaneously: You can now use the Xbox mobile app for in-game party chat and the Discord app for communicating with friends who are not on Xbox. You might need to switch between the apps to manage conversations in both chats.
