Guide | This is how you use Discord on PlayStation 5

It was possible on Xbox for a while: calling via Discord on your console. There you can now join a conversation in the server of your choice without any other devices. Unfortunately, it works a little less simply on PlayStation 5. That is why we explain exactly how to start such a conversation on PlayStation 5.

Things you should know:
– Having Discord conversations is only possible on PlayStation 5 and not
PlayStation 4.

– To start Discord conversations, you’ll need a phone or PC running Discord
at hand.

People who have already linked their Discord account to display your game activity on Discord will need to link their account again. That’s because new permissions have to be given to Discord in order to make calls.

Linking your Discord and PlayStation account
Before you can start a Discord conversation, you need to link your Discord and PlayStation accounts. You do this as follows:

1. Go to settings on your PS5, then to Users and Accounts and finally click on Connected Services.

2. In the next screen you will see a QR code that you can scan with your camera or by visiting https://discord.com/activate on your phone.

3. Follow the steps on the screen until your account is linked.

Start a Discord conversation on PlayStation 5
Now that you’ve linked your account, you can forward Discord conversations to your PS5. It is therefore not possible to start a conversation on your PS5 without your phone or PC. Follow the steps to start a conversation:

1. Open Discord on your phone or PC

2. Add yourself to a channel or private conversation of your choice

3. Once in a conversation, swipe up to see more options

4. Click Transfer to PlayStation

5. Click Join Call on PlayStation

6. You will receive a notification on your PS5 to join the conversation
