Turn off go live notification
I really like the in-game overlay, but the go live notification is really annoying. Is there a way to turn off that notification specifically? If I want to stream, I'll just stream to twitch. I understand that's not the case for everyone, but for those whom it is, it would be nice to be able to turn it off...
EDIT: Changed "steam overlay" to "in-game overlay," as this what I originally meant.

dear god please. i want it to go away.
its probably the dumbest thing they have ever added.

Thank you! I came here looking for information how to get rid of this and from your post I guess there isn't a way to do that. I don't like this feature either and want it gone from my view as well. Not being able to turn it off is annoying.

I agree. I like having the overlay visible so I know who's talking in groups I don't recognize by voice yet, but having it pop up and tall me to stream every 30-60 minutes is annoying. (that is popping up when I load into a new match)

I ignored this notification for a long time but it is now officially driving me crazy. Why present it to people who don't have streaming setup? Why not let us opt out of its never ending nag?

Still no way to remove this stupid notification I guess *sigh*
On a (now positive) side note, this has moved me from Discord to Steam's new chat features, such as voice chat and messaging. Discord for me now is closed 95% of the time, and only used for specific servers.
Congrats Discord, you successfully moved me away from your platform. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

This needs to go away. Half of the time when it pops up when I launch a game, it just stays there and I can't even click it to dismiss it. Everything I've tried, the only way to get it to go away is to actually quit my damn game and relaunch and hope that the next time the notification pops up I can actually click it off.
This is dumb, and whoever decided to not let this be able to be turned off should feel bad about themselves.

Why would I want this feature? If I have not clicked on it for months why would it still keep asking?
Please give us the option to disable!

This has to be the worst and most annoying "feature" added to Discord, I can click the X button on the notification and it just re-pops 5 seconds later... Thankfully I found out it was due to the discord overlay so no more seeing who is talking for me because you want to nag us to death and take up our screen space just so we might think of streaming through discord. Honestly due to that I will probably never use the overlay again because last thing I need is a pop-up every 5 seconds taking up screen space while gaming to annoy the living hell out of me...
Not everyone who uses discord streams, not everyone who streams wants to use discord, let us choose to have that notification or not. In the current instance it just is going to push people away from Discord because who wants a notification pretty much permanently on their screen to go live when they are not a streamer? Or maybe they are streaming through a different method, who wants that nag ruining their stream? Half-baked features put in to the application like this upset people by breaking something that worked perfectly before.
PS: I am so glad I haven't restarted Discord in a couple months as this would have drove me insane earlier...8 -
This is such a terrible notification. It pops up right on top of the "Play" button in CSGO every time I start up. We frequently stream CSGO to each other to demonstrate nades, and we absolutely do not require this notification. This is a horrible user experience. Please let us disable this.
There's not even a "do not show me again" box lol. Laughable design.7 -
Paper My friend, that disables all notifications in the overlay, not just the go live notification. You may want to read over the issue before commenting.

Conger that is not the fix requested in this thread. We would still like to be able to see other notifications, but not an advertisement for a feature we are all very familiar with already.

@Random/Aoe Thanks for your message; the problem with that solution is it disables all notifications. In many case a user wants notifications; just not the streaming one.
6 -
Why do people think the solution to this is disabling all notifications? We want to disable the streaming notification ONLY. All other notifications should be allowed.
6 -
Gonna add my 2 cents on the slim chance any devs here read feedback.
PLEASE give us an option to disable ONLY the "go live notification when you start a game".
The rest of the overlay is cool, but the constant pestering to "GO LIVE AND SHOW YOUR FRIENDS!!?!?@" thing is absolutely annoying and I just disabled your entire overlay. After reading the comments I'm not the only one in this situation.
I've never streamed a game in my life, I'm never going to stream a game in my life, ever. I don't play games so other people can watch me, HOWEVER I like talking to my friends when I'm playing and other aspects of the overlay are neat but not worth that damned popup in the corner of my screen telling me to go live now.

After all of the bugs I've encountered in the web app, that's a hard pass on switching.
Besides, wouldn't that also remove the game overlay (I called it steam overly in OP, which was a brain fart, but gets the point across), which I explicitly said I liked?

When can we turn this off? it's been 5 months, come on..
It's so ridiculous, most people don't have a streaming PC or any desire to stream if they have one. All kinds of software just keeps adding shit on your screen for no reason.

@peter pwn I did that too, but I like the overlay. I just hate the spam. I like being able to see who's talking when 40 people are in a room for raid.

it's really an after thought, it doesn't fit the gui. An alternative is to use the browser, doesn't seem to have the same issue.

The pop ups have turned me off using discord to stream anything at all. It needs to go. If I have no option to disable it, it should not appear at all. Discord streaming may as well be a bloatware feature if they need to constantly nag users to do it.
4 -
It's been a while since I first read this thread and still no way to disable this stupidity. Devs please listen to your audience.
4 -
Looking for the ability to disable this as well, please!
4 -
Yeap, there's some stuff I still want to see while in game. Turning off the overlay is one way to fix the Go Live notification but it disables other useful features.

Every 2 mins this pop-up. I know I can stream to my friends, I just don't want to do it every time I play. You don't need to remind me every 2 minutes. Actually, you don't have to remind me at all as I know about this feature and I will use it when I need it.
Please, please, please give us a way to disable it.
Oh and btw, if you click the cross to dismiss the pop up, nothing happens...

This is really annoying, if I wanted to stream on discord I would've just gone into the app directly anyway. Plus every time the go live pop-up occurs it covers 3/4 of my screen and it really messes me up.

This is super annoying. Stop spamming your users. Show it to them once, and then never again. It's like a website popup that loads on every page load. WTF
3 -
This is obviously completely intentional (that it isn't possible to disable this). They're just trying to push a service I will never use. Most of the time I start looking for alternative applications if dev's keep pulling this shit. Haven't reached the point yet, but soon...
Stop trying to force your users!

its lagging my game idk why but I opened it and it popped up and my game just went down like 70 fps

Bumping this. Please give an option to disable this popup. I don't think I'm ever going to use this feature. And now I have been thoroughly educated about its existence. Please get rid of it.

just figured out how to turn off the go live overlay feature....open discord app on PC, click on setting gear wheel on bottom, click on overlay option on left, scroll down to overlay notification where there is box with 4 small boxes inside it, one on each corner of the bigger box, you will have the top left box highlighted white, click on the circle with the slash through it in the middle, all 4 small boxes now have no white border, that shuts off the overlay live notification on games...you welcome

I would like the ability to remove just the go live notification as well...
