Discord has become one of those almost essential applications in the world of video games, even outside of it it is interesting for the different chat tools it offers. But focusing on games, right now it’s almost the default option when looking to have a conversation with other players, both in text and voice.

Well, the company has announced on its official blog that they are adding new functionality , for now in beta, thanks to joint work with Krisp.ai. This is neither more nor less than a noise cancellation option.

In the same way that it works in the headphones, the user who activates this noise canceling tool will enjoy a much quieter game, without possible background noise or with as little noise as possible.

This is useful when, for example, and according to Discord, there are other members at home making noise while they pass the vacuum cleaner, if they knock on your door or even when you reach into the bag of chips.

Thanks to the implemented krisp.ai software, the captured audio is analyzed and isolates the voice from the rest of the noise, so the experience would improve. In addition, it would also be interesting for other users who share voice chat with you. So, it is a function that everyone should activate.

So, now that voice chats have increased and we are with the rest of the family at home, it can be a great complement. And if you are concerned about privacy, Discord ensures that no data is stored on the servers.

How to activate noise cancellation on Discord

Discord’s new noise canceling option, currently in beta, is only available for the desktop version of the app. That is, for Windows and macOS. If you use Discord from your smartphone you will have to wait for it to arrive through a next update in which they already indicate that they are working.

In the computer version, to activate the new option do the following:

  • Open the Discord app
  • Access Settings> Voice and Video> Advanced
  • There you will see the new Noise Cancellation option that you can activate just by clicking on the switch.

Done, from that moment on the change should be noted with a reduction in background noise. Although, if you want to go much further, if you accompany your games with good headphones with a gaming microphone, even better. Because not all integrated microphones are capable of capturing our voice with the same quality.

By the way, if you want to try Krisp.ai without Discrod and for those times when you work or study, you can also do it .
