3. You will be able to see Push To Talk under the INPUT MODE Just Click to enable it.
4. Go one step back in the main Settings menu and scroll down to the Keybinds
5. You will need to set your shortcut key for the feature. If you are playing multiple games that have different controls, Discord will allow you to set multiple keys for the same feature.

Before Setting your Keys, please note that:

• If you have opened Discord in the Browser, this feature will only work when the tab (in which Discord is opened) is focused.
• The Web version of Discord doesn’t have a Keybind Option in the menu.
• Discord Strongly recommends you to download the Desktop application if you want to use Push To Talk

6. If you cannot find Keybind option in the menu while using the Web version of Discord, you have to go to Settings and then Voice & Video. From there, you can click on Edit Keyblind and add a shortcut.
7. Click on Add a Keybind if you have managed to open Keybind.
8. Now add the Key by clicking on the Record keybind and Click on Stop Recording at the bottom to save your changes.
9. Go back to Voice & Video option to set the Push to Talk Release Delay. The sliders modify the time at which Discord will cut your voice. The minimum value is 20 ms, but for the uninterrupted services, you need to set it to high.
