Priority Speaker on Voice Activation

robo26

Please add an option for priority speaker on voice activation as on push to talk. We run a group with a leader who has to shout at times to get what he wants heard. We all use voice activation as we are a PVP guild and push to talk makes it difficult to fight and talk at the same time.

    Best Current Workaround (works for me, Discord app for Windows 10, YMMV):

    1. Set a keybind for "Toggle VAD".
    2. Bind the same key to "Priority PTT", below it.
    3. Join your channel in Voice Activated ("VAD") mode.
    4. Tap the Key when you need to amplify. This will switch to PTT mode.
    5. Press/hold the Key like a PTT. You will be speaking with Priority.
    6. Release the Key when you're done talking. This triggers the "Toggle VAD" and switches to normal VAD mode.

    This is clunky, slow, inconvenient, and may not work for everyone (especially mobile users), but after some practice with this "double-tap" motion, it's not so bad.
