How To Leave A Voice Channel In Discord?

You might have joined a voice channel in Discord and are looking to leave it. Maybe you clicked on the wrong one, or maybe that was not the intention and you want to leave immediately. Here's how to do it!

If you did not know it yet, you could hop in and out of a Discord voice channel anytime you want. Doing so is also very simple and may improve your overall gaming experience. You can do this using your desktop or mobile device.

Leaving a Voice Channel on Discord Using the Desktop Application

Here are the steps on how to leave a voice channel using the Discord desktop application:

1. Go to any voice channel by double-clicking any channel in the room with a volume indicator. You will be able to do this as long as you have valid permission.
2. You will find a small window that says "Voice Connected." That box contains informations, such as your call latency, etc. It will also indicate the channel and server name you’re in.
   
   
3. Tap on the disconnect icon found on the right of the "Voice Connected" menu to leave the voice channel.

When you follow these steps, you can view any text channels by selecting the option from the left side menu of Discord's desktop application. However, your microphone will be turned off, and you will be out of the channel in the meantime.

 You will know that you have successfully left a channel after hearing a "chime" confirmation.

Leaving a Voice Channel on Discord Using the Mobile Application

Leaving a voice channel is a lot easier when you do it using the mobile app. Here are the steps to do so:

1. Join a voice channel on the Discord mobile app. You’ll then notice a green banner on top of your screen. The banner will inform you that you are currently connected to a voice channel.
2. Tap on the green banner to go to the channel settings.
3. In the channel setting, tap on the disconnect button found on the bottom of the app.

 Like leaving a voice channel on the desktop application, you will hear a chime noise as a confirmation.

Muting a channel on Discord

If you are enjoying a channel but a particular user is a little annoying to listen to, you can mute him/her or the channel instead. Here are the steps how:

1. Go to the channel menu and find the username of the individual that you want to mute.
2. Right-click on the name and select mute from the drop-down options.

You can simply unmute the person by following the same steps and selecting "unmute."

If you don't want to listen or talk to other people, for the time being, you can mute the entire channel by following these steps:

1. Go to your personal box.
2. Click on your Discord avatar and change your availability.
3. Click on the microphone icon and enable your mic.
4. Click on the headset icon and select mute for both the speaker and microphone.

After following all the steps mentioned above, you will not hear any conversation from that channel. They will also not hear anything from you at all.

Deleting a Channel

If you have no intention of ever going back to a voice channel, you might as well delete it forever. However, you can only do this if you're a server administrator or the channel owner. Here are the steps on how to delete a voice channel:

1. Right-click on the channel that you want to delete.
2. A popup box will appear. Click on "Delete Channel."
3. Another popup box will appear. It will ask you to reconfirm your action, so click on "Delete Channel" again.

With those three steps, the voice channel will forever be gone.
