Discord should be your go-to platform if you want to find like-minded people and chat with them.
Discord has come a long way since it launched in 2015.
Once considered only a chatting platform for gamers has now grown with hundreds of thousands of communities in various niches.
The platform allows users to communicate with people via voice, video, or text chats.
If you are a newbie to this platform and just joined an exciting community but cannot map out how to put Discord on speaker, we have solutions for you.
You can put Discord on speaker on your computer by adjusting the output device settings in the app settings. Once you make the speaker your default output device, all your voice channels and private calls will be played on the speaker.
For mobile Apps, you cannot tweak output device options in settings. For mobile Apps, whenever you join any voice channel or make any private audio or video call, press the speaker icon to go hands-free.
Let’s learn to go hands-free on Discord and have fun with it!

So now the question is, how to turn on the speaker on your mobile devices for any voice channel or voice or video call?

Turn Speaker Mode On For Any Voice Channel
As you must know by now, voice channels are the spaces in any server where you can hang out with voice and video chats. You do not have to call or ring anyone to join such rooms on any server.
Simply click on the specific voice channel you want to join and enter it. Your friends can see you hanging in there and join you for more fun and interactive conversations.
You can also share your screen or stream from a webcam or mobile camera on voice channels.
If you want to go hands-free on any voice channel and use a speaker, you can do that easily on your computer by selecting the “Speaker” option in your output device settings.
For mobile devices, as we have already told you, there are not many options available to adjust the output device in settings. So the only way you can go hands-free on any voice channel is by manually doing it whenever you want.
Let’s figure out how:
