With the Text-to-Speech (TTS) command in Discord, /tts, members of a server can send a message that is read aloud to other server members in a channel. While this command has it’s uses, it’s also easy for trolls to take advantage of.
Anyone familiar with Twitch streamers using text-to-speech knows just how wrong this kind of thing can go. Luckily, Discord allows you to disable TTS for yourself or an entire server – here’s how.
Update: Discord has moved the option to disable TTS to the Accessibility menu. The article has been updated to reflect this change.
