Connecting Discord to other streaming platforms is something that happens all the time, and it seems like people enjoy combining Discord and OBS and providing people from their community with a high-quality stream.
OBS is a streaming software that allows people to share their gameplay with other users, but it doesn’t allow them to exchange messages or engage in a voice chat.
That is the reason why most OBS streamers choose Discord, but it doesn’t mean that sometimes you don’t want to mute your Discord while using it. In today’s guide, I will talk about how to mute Discord on OBS.
In case Discord is producing too much noise, you can’t concentrate because too many people are talking at the same time, or Discord is just interfering with your internet connection, this is how you can easily mute it.
