Last week, Microsoft and Discord announced Xbox’s voice chat integration feature. Today, they rolled out the Discord Voice Chat feature to Xbox Insiders. To test this feature, you won’t need an invite or approval.
Link your Discord account to the console.
- Open Discord and head over to User Settings.
- Go to Connections, then choose Xbox, and connect your account.
- That’s it!

Discord Voice integration allows you to connect with your friends, requiring you to go through a little walkthrough. First, you need to link your Xbox account with Discord. After that, you need to call your friend using the Discord app, and then you can transfer the call to your Xbox console from the Discord app.
It doesn’t seem smooth or convenient, but at least something is there. It’s not going to be an enjoyable experience, but we can expect Microsoft and Discord to work on this to improve the efficiency and experience with future updates.
The Xbox dashboard seems pretty nicely integrated, with navigations like chat features, calls, adjusting volume, and disconnecting calls from the dashboard. Delta and Omega rings will also be on board in the future across Xbox consoles.
