To start the new Discord Lounge voice call, open the server and go to the voice channel labeled Lounge or the voice channel with the speaker icon, then tap or click it to join. On mobile, you may see a Join Channel prompt; on desktop, it usually connects right away if you have permission.

How to join

  1. Open Discord and enter the server that has the Lounge channel.
  1. Find the voice channel with the speaker icon, usually named Lounge, chill, general, or something similar.
  1. Tap or click the channel name to join.
  1. If prompted, confirm Join Channel and allow mic access if needed.
  1. Once connected, unmute your mic and speak normally.

If it is a DM call

If you mean a private voice call with one person or a small group, open the DM, then click the phone icon at the top to start the call. That is different from joining a server Lounge channel, which works by entering the voice room directly.

Common problems

If nothing happens when you click the channel, the server may restrict access by role or permissions. If others cannot hear you, check mic permissions, mute status, and input/output settings.

Quick example

If a server has a channel called Lounge , you just open that server, tap Lounge , and you are in the call. If it is a private chat instead, you open the DM and press the phone icon to ring them.

TL;DR: for a Discord Lounge voice call, go to the server, click the Lounge voice channel, and join; for a private call, open the DM and tap the phone icon.
