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

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.
