How do I mute Discord on OBS Streamlabs?

Answered by Willian Lymon

To mute Discord notification sounds on OBS Streamlabs, you can follow these steps:

1. Open OBS Streamlabs: Launch OBS Streamlabs on your computer. Make sure you have both Discord and OBS Streamlabs running simultaneously.

2. Enable Streamer Mode on Discord: Streamer Mode in Discord helps to hide sensitive information and prevent notifications from appearing during a live stream. To enable Streamer Mode, click on the User Settings icon in the bottom left corner of Discord. Then, scroll down the left side menu and click on “Streamer Mode”. Ensure that the “Enable Streamer Mode” button is checked.

3. Configure the Streamer Mode settings: In the Streamer Mode settings, you can customize what information is hidden and how notifications are handled. By default, Discord will automatically enable Streamer Mode when OBS Streamlabs is detected. You can choose to hide personal information, such as your Discord username, server names, and invite links. Additionally, you can select whether to automatically disable sounds and notifications, or manually control them.

4. Mute Discord notification sounds: To mute Discord notification sounds specifically on OBS Streamlabs, you have a couple of options:

A. Option 1: Use OBS audio settings
– In OBS Streamlabs, click on “Settings” at the bottom right corner.
– Under the “Audio” tab, locate the “Desktop Audio” section.
– You can either mute the entire desktop audio by clicking on the speaker icon next to it or adjust the volume slider to a lower level.
– This will mute all desktop audio, including Discord notification sounds.

B. Option 2: Use Discord audio settings
– In Discord, click on the User Settings icon in the bottom left corner.
– Go to the “Voice & Video” tab.
– Under the “Input Sensitivity” section, you can adjust the sensitivity slider to a lower level or enable the “Push to Talk” feature.
– Lowering the sensitivity or using Push to Talk will reduce the chances of Discord notification sounds being picked up by OBS Streamlabs.

5. Test and adjust settings: After making these changes, it’s important to test your setup to ensure that Discord notification sounds are effectively muted on your OBS Streamlabs stream. Start a test stream or recording and have someone send you notifications on Discord. Monitor the audio levels in OBS Streamlabs to confirm that the notification sounds are no longer being picked up.

By following these steps, you should be able to mute Discord notification sounds on OBS Streamlabs, allowing for a more focused and professional live stream experience.
