Can Discord streams play audio?

Answered by Douglas Hiatt

Discord streams can play audio. When you’re streaming from a PC, there is an option for “Sound” that allows you to toggle it on or off. By toggling the Sound button to the right, you enable the streaming of sound from your computer. This means that not only can people see what’s happening on your screen, but they can also hear the audio coming from your computer.

It’s important to note that when you enable the Sound option, people will still be able to hear your microphone as well. This allows for a more interactive streaming experience, as you can provide commentary or have conversations with your viewers while streaming audio from your computer.

Streamers often use this feature to share their gaming experiences, play music, or showcase any other type of audio content they want to share with their audience. It’s a great way to engage with viewers and create a more immersive streaming environment.

I personally have used this feature while streaming games on Discord. It’s been a fantastic way to share the game’s audio along with my commentary, allowing viewers to have a complete experience while watching the stream. It also makes it easier to discuss in-game tactics or strategies with teammates or viewers, as they can hear both my voice and the game’s audio simultaneously.

To summarize, Discord streams can indeed play audio by toggling the Sound option when streaming from a PC. This enables viewers to not only see what’s happening on your screen but also hear the audio coming from your computer. It’s a great feature for creating more interactive and engaging streams.
