How to Get Discord Soundboard

Discord, the popular communication platform for gamers and communities, has recently introduced a new feature called the Soundboard. This feature allows users to play short audio snippets in voice channels that can be heard by all members of the channel. In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the steps to get the Discord Soundboard on your server and start using it to add fun and engaging audio clips to your voice channels.

What is the Discord Soundboard?

The Discord Soundboard is a collection of default audio clips that users can play in voice channels. These clips include sounds like “quack,” “airhorn,” “cricket,” “golf clap,” “sad horn,” and “ba dum tss.” The Soundboard is accessible by joining a voice channel on your Discord server and clicking on the Soundboard icon, which resembles a musical note.

How to Get Discord Soundboard on an Existing Server

If you already have a Discord server and want to enable the Soundboard feature, you need to meet certain requirements:

Disable the Community Feature

The Soundboard feature is only available on servers that have the Community feature disabled. To disable the Community feature, follow these steps:

Open the desktop version of Discord.
Navigate to your server and right-click on your server's name.
Click on “Server Settings” and then select “Community” from the left sidebar.
Go to the “Overview” tab and click on the “Disable Community” button.

Have Fewer Than 50 Members

The Soundboard feature is only available on servers with fewer than 50 members. If your server has more than 50 members, you will need to kick some inactive users to meet this requirement. Here's how:

Open the desktop version of Discord.
Navigate to your server and right-click on an inactive user from the right sidebar.
Click on “Kick” and repeat this process until your server has fewer than 50 members.

Once you have met the above requirements, you can now join a voice channel on your server and access the Soundboard by clicking on the Soundboard icon. From there, you can select any of the default audio clips and play them in the voice channel for all members to hear.

How to Get Discord Soundboard on a New Server

If you're creating a new server on Discord and want to enable the Soundboard feature from the start, here's how you can do it:

Step 1: Open Discord Desktop Version

To get started, make sure you have the Discord desktop version installed on your computer. You can download it from the Discord website if you don't have it already. Once you have it installed, open the Discord application on your desktop.

Step 2: Add a New Server

In Discord, servers are like communities where people with similar interests can chat, share, and hang out. To add a new server to your Discord, click on the “+” icon on the left-hand side of the Discord window. This will open the server creation window.

Step 3: Choose a Template and Provide Server Details

Discord offers some pre-made templates for different types of servers, such as gaming, art, or music. You can choose a template that best matches the theme of your server, or you can create a custom server from scratch. After selecting a template or opting to create a custom server, you'll be prompted to provide more details about your server. This includes giving your server a name, selecting an appropriate server region, and choosing an image for your server's icon. Once you've filled in the required details, click on the “Create” button to create your new server.

Step 4: Join a Voice Channel

Once you've created your server, you'll need to join a voice channel to use the Discord soundboard. Voice channels are where you can communicate with other members of your server using voice chat. To join a voice channel, simply click on the “Voice” button next to the text channels in your server. This will open a list of available voice channels. Click on one of the voice channels to join it.

Step 5: Select the Soundboard Icon

Once you're in a voice channel, you'll notice a toolbar at the bottom of the Discord window. This toolbar contains various icons for different features, including the soundboard. Look for the soundboard icon, which looks like a speaker with sound waves coming out of it. Click on this icon to open the soundboard.

Step 6: Play an Audio Clip

With the soundboard open, you can now play audio clips during your voice chat. The soundboard will display a list of available audio clips that you can play. You can either use the default audio clips that come with Discord, or you can add custom audio clips to your server. To play an audio clip, simply click on the clip you want to play, and the sound will be played in the voice channel for everyone to hear.

Adding Custom Sounds to Your Server's Soundboard

In addition to the default audio clips, you can also add custom sounds to your server's Soundboard. Here's how you can do it:

If you want to add your own custom sounds to the Discord soundboard, you can do so easily. To add a custom sound, click on the soundboard icon and select “Add Sound” from the options. This will allow you to upload your own audio file from your computer. Once the audio file is uploaded, you can give it a name and set other options, such as the volume level and whether it should loop or not. Click on the “Add” button to add the custom sound to your soundboard.
