Sony made a minority investment in Discord in 2021 and announced a partnership with the messaging giant to integrate the Discord and PlayStation experiences. As part of this effort, Discord began rolling out an option in early 2022 to connect your PlayStation Network (PSN) account to Discord for a rich presence. We've covered how to connect your PlayStation account to Discord and display your game activity in your Discord profile in this article. But you're here to find out if you can install the Discord app on your PS4 or PS5 and use it for voice chat. Continue reading to learn how Discord works on PlayStation consoles.
How To Get Discord On PS4 And PS5?
We won't go around in circles in this article, but there is currently no native Discord app for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles. Discord cannot yet be installed on your console. However, you can read your Discord messages on your PlayStation console (through a workaround). Regarding Discord voice chats, Sony is currently rolling out the ability to join voice channels and talk with friends on PS5 for beta testers. Voice chat on the PlayStation 4 will require some time-consuming workarounds. As usual, use the table to navigate through all of the sections.
How To Get Discord On Ps4?
You can now download Discord on your PS4. This means that you can now use Discord with your PS4 controller rather than just your laptop or phone.
1.Install Discord On Your PS4
PlayStation has its own Discord-like platform called Party Chat, but it lacks some of the key features that make Discord so popular.
Step 1: Basic Text Chat Functions
Turn on your PS4 and navigate to the web browser function. Sign in to Discord using your PlayStation account. You should now be able to communicate with others using the text box. If you also want to audio chat with people on your server, proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Connecting PS4 Audio to Discord
This is where things get a little tricky. To complete this step, you'll need some external hardware, such as a MixAmp and a ground loop noise isolator. Here are the steps to connecting audio to your Discord server on PS4. Switch to the console mode of your MixAmp.
Connect the ground loop noise isolator to the device's aux port and plug in the aux cable. Connect your USB cable to the PlayStation 4 at this point. Connect your headset to the MixAmp via the 3.5 mm cable.
Step 3: Dual Audio Configuration
However, because you can only hear your voice stream, this can be slightly annoying. You must connect your MixAmp to your computer for a dual audio system if you want to listen to both the voice stream and your game. Here's how you can do it.
How To Get Discord On PS5?
Now that you've installed the PS5 beta and linked your Discord and PSN accounts, you can use Discord voice on your console. You can join the PS5 call from your desktop or mobile device. To do so, follow the steps below:
1. Log in to Discord and join a personal or server-hosted voice call.
2. If you're using a mobile device, swipe up to access the voice controls. You'll notice a new button labeled "Join on PlayStation" here.
3. On your PC, look for an icon that looks like a controller alongside a smartphone.
4. Tap it, then select "Transfer to PlayStation" from the resulting pop-up menu.
