How to Use the Discord Soundboard & Add More Sounds
Discord’s Soundboard lets users play short audio clips during voice calls, with built-in sounds available everywhere they have permission. Users can upload custom MP3 clips to servers, favorite frequently used sounds, adjust playback volume, and—if they have Nitro—use accessible sounds across servers and DMs. Server moderators can also restrict who may use the Soundboard or sounds from outside the server. ## Using the Soundboard - **Desktop:** Join a voice channel or DM call and click the 🎉 button in the voice control bar. - **Mobile:** Join a voice call, swipe up on the call panel, and select **🎉 Soundboard**. - Soundboard access depends on server permissions, but it is also available in direct and group direct calls. - Everyone receives six default sounds: - Quack - Airhorn - Cricket - Golf Clap - Sad Horn - Da Bum Diss ## Adding and Removing Custom Sounds Custom sounds are stored at the server level, similarly to emojis and stickers. - Go to **Server Settings > Soundboard** and select **Upload Sound**. - Uploaded sounds must meet these requirements: - **Format:** `.MP3` - **Maximum size:** 512 KB - **Maximum length:** 5 seconds - **Name:** Describes the spoken phrase or sound - **Related emoji:** A default or custom community emoji - **Volume:** An optional default playback level - The post explains how to add sounds but does not provide further removal instructions in the supplied text. ## Favoriting Sounds Favorites make frequently used clips easier to access. - **Desktop:** Hover over a sound and click the ⭐️ button. - **Mobile:** Long-press a sound and choose **Add to Favorites**. - Favorites appear in a dedicated category at the top of the Soundboard. - Favorites synchronize across platforms. ## Adjusting or Muting Soundboard Volume Users can control how loud Soundboard clips are personally. - Navigate to **User Settings > Voice & Video > Soundboard**. - Use the volume slider to adjust all Soundboard sounds. - Setting the volume to **0%** mutes the audio completely. - Even when muted, associated emojis still appear when others play sounds. ## Nitro Features Discord Nitro provides additional Soundboard capabilities. - Nitro members can use any Soundboard sounds they have access to in other servers and DM calls. - Nitro users can configure a favorite sound to play automatically when joining a server voice channel. - Different entrance sounds can be selected for different servers. ## Moderation and Permissions Large communities may want to limit Soundboard usage. - Server administrators can restrict roles from: - Using sounds from outside the server - Using the Soundboard entirely - These controls are accessed through the server’s role settings. Discord’s Soundboard is designed for quick reactions in voice calls, while its upload, favorite, volume, Nitro, and moderation controls let communities tailor the experience to their needs.
