I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to use Discord on my PS5 so I can voice chat with friends playing on PC and other consoles, but I'm a bit confused about how the integration actually works.
Before the recent updates, it was quite difficult to do this. But now you can just link your Discord account in your PS5 settings under Users and Accounts, then go to Linked Services. Then click the PS button, open Game Base, select the Discord tab, pick your voice channel, and hit Join.
This can be helpful when your friends don't use PlayStation Party, as you can put them in voice chat on Discord while you're playing on your PS5. The first step in doing so is to connect your Discord and PlayStation accounts.
Once you have done that, you can then head to a Discord voice channel and move the voice chat to PS5. When it's connected, you're able to play as usual and chat with people using your headset.
Once you connect with the accounts it's rather convenient. Connect Discord to PSN, join the voice channel you wish to communicate with and move the conversation to your PS5. After that, you won't have to do the same thing and check your phone for Discord anymore.
You can simply remain in the discussion as you play.
