Last Updated: September 24, 2021 Tested

Voice chats on Discord can be fun, especially when you're playing a game with a group of people. However, sometimes annoying, obnoxious, or just plain toxic people can enter the chat and ruin it for you. Luckily you can mute users who are getting under your skin. This wikiHow teaches you how to mute a member in a Discord voice channel.

Steps

1
Open Discord. The app has a blue icon with a white game controller. You may find it on your home screen, but if not, it will be in the app drawer.
2
Tap ☰. It's the icon with three horizontal lines at the top-left corner of the screen. This opens the menu.

3
Select a server. Servers have their icons listed along the left edge of the screen. Tap one of the server icons to open a server.
4
Select a voice channel. You can only mute members in voice channels. Voice channels have an icon that resembles a speaker. Tap a voice channel to enter it.
- If you don't want to see the member's message in the text chats, you'll need to block the member.
5
Tap the member you want to mute. You can either tap their username or profile image.
6
Slide the “Mute” switch to the On position. It's the first option under "Voice Settings." When the switch turns blue, you'll no longer hear this member on your Discord channel.

Question

What if it says 'local mute' instead of just 'mute'? Then what do I do?

Community Answer

Local mute means mute in a particular server. Try muting them through your contacts.
