How to: Discord Priority Speaker with Voice Activation
This is a short guide on how to use AutoPTT to get voice-activated priority speaker on Discord, which currently requires push-to-talk.
-
Open the Discord settings.
-
Under “APP SETTINGS” click on “Keybinds”.
-
At the top, click on “Add a Keybind.”
-
In the added row, set “Action” to “Push-to-Talk (Priority)” and then click on “Record Keybind.”
-
Press the key you want to use for priority speaker. This should be a key you normally don’t use for anything, like
F12
. -
In AutoPTT, select your input device from the “Device” box.
-
Set “PTT Key” to the key you bound to priority speaker on Discord.
-
Set “Activation Mode” to “Voice Activity.”
-
Adjust “Activation Threshold” and “Release Delay” while speaking normally. The “Current Value” field will indicate when your PTT key is being pressed (green = above threshold, yellow = within release delay) and when it isn’t (gray).
