Discord, the voice over IP chatting platform, is insanely popular amongst gaming communities. After all, communication is one of the most important things in any game requiring even slight teamwork.
Communication can quickly diminish though if you, or your teammates, are struggling to hear each other. Even worse, microphones can pick up distracting background noise if someone is using voice activation instead of push to talk.
Thankfully, Discord makes it easy to adjust the volume of yourself and even others – here’s how.
