Discord, a chatroom for gamers, is one of the highly used services around the world by the gamer’s community. This VOIP-Voice over Internet Protocol service was built upon a kind of slack’s principle that brings change for forever in the gaming. There are two ways to chat with other people in Discord. One is personal messages, and another one is group chat. Group chats are pretty simple, where you can do some advanced stuff like setup text command or custom channel organization.
Things got confused very quickly in the multiplayer game. The main problem is voice chat that causes the problem. One cheap comment and the game converted into a battleground. You can observe the same when you are using an internal microphone on the pc or laptop.
I am tired of such angry gamers, but as a happy gamer, it’s my turn to stop such conflicts and discussions that lead to criticism or abusive talks. That’s why I have convinced my gaming partners to use Discord’s Push to Talk feature, at least during our session. And after that, there is no discussion or dispute caused by background noises.

The desktop version has a Keybind tab, whereas the web version does not have it. That’s why I recommend you to use the desktop version. However, if you can’t do it, go to Settings>> Voice & Video >> Edit Keybind >> add a shortcut.

It modifies the time taken by Discord to cut down your voice signal after you have press push to talk Keybind shortcut. The lowers value is 20ms, but The lowest time is 20 MS, but I suggest setting up a bit higher to avoid any problems or mistakes.
