Ask for Priority Speaker, switch on push-to-talk, and bind two keys: normal for your party, priority for your party and the caller. It only works in the Discord desktop app. Keep priority for what the caller can act on.
What you need#
- The Discord desktop app — keybinds don't exist on mobile.
- A role with Priority Speaker in your party's channel. Ask your server admins; it's set in Server Settings → Roles or on the channel.
- Two spare buttons. Mouse side buttons are ideal.
Setup#
Push to talk on
User Settings → Voice & Video → Input mode: Push to Talk. Raise the release delay a little so your last word isn't clipped.
Normal key
User Settings → Keybinds → Add a keybind → Push to Talk (Normal). Record your first button. This talks to your party.
Priority key
Add another keybind → Push to Talk (Priority). Record your second button. This talks to your party and the caller.
Test it
Ask the caller to listen while you press each key. Only the priority one should reach them.
What's worth saying on priority#
| Say it | Keep it in the party |
|---|---|
| “Alpha wiped, rezzing at camp.” | Who's low on health. |
| “Bravo, enemy zerg on east flank, 20+.” | Cooldown timings. |
| “Charlie in position.” | Who pulled aggro. |
The test: will the caller change a call because of it? If not, it's for your party.
If it isn't working#
Nine times in ten it's the wrong keybind or a missing permission. The checklist is in troubleshooting, and the full server-side setup is in talk back.
