Discord Voice Channel Bitrate on PC
- Launch Discord on your PC.
- Click on the server you manage on Discord.
- Hover your cursor on the voice channel you want to change the bitrate for.
- Click on the Settings icon that will appear when you hover your cursor over the voice channel.
- Drag the slider left or right to decrease or increase the bitrate.
- Click on Save changes when you have adjusted the bitrate.
Keep in mind that the higher the bitrate, the more internet data it will consume. Moreover, it might also lead to higher ping while playing. Therefore, stick to 64Kbps or lower since the audio quality is often way better than in-game voice chat quality. Nevertheless, if you and your friends have an excellent internet connection, then, by all means, you can turn up the bitrate all the way to 96kbps. The option to set Discord voice quality to 128kbps is possible as of now.
If you experience ping issues while using Discord for voice chat, then we’d suggest lowering the bitrate. This might help solve the ping issues. We hope this guide helped you change the audio quality in Discord and Discord Nitro by configuring the voice channels.
