How to quick mute yourself on Discord

Never let your friends hear you when they shouldn't.

One of the worst things that could happen to you while talking with your friends on Discord is for something unexpected to happen in your room and for everyone to hear it. Maybe your mother walks in, your father tells you to stop playing games all day, or your sibling starts annoying you, and you would like to kindly ask them to leave. When this happens, you will want to instantly mute your mic and take care of the problem. Well, here is how you can quick mute yourself on Discord.

  3. Scroll down until you find the Keybinds settings in the App Settings category, and press it.
  4. Press the “Add a Keybind” button in the top right corner.
  5. Click where it says “Unassigned” under “Action,” and select the “Toggle Mute” option.
  6. Next, press the “Record Keybind” button to the right and press the key that you want to use to quick mute yourself on Discord.
