You will reportedly be able to move the annoying voices in your Discord calls far away with an upcoming spatial audio feature
Discord is reportedly adding spatial audio to its voice chat functionality, allowing users to position voices in 3D space during calls. The feature has been discovered in the experimental Canary version of Discord by data miners on social media, according to reports from Pirat_Nation and DiscordPreviews on X.
The spatial audio implementation enables users to move voices around in virtual space, potentially addressing issues with overlapping audio in busy group calls. Early implementations of the feature have been accessed using BetterDiscord, a third-party modification tool, with developers enabling it through browser DevTools.
While Discord has not officially announced the feature, its presence in the Canary build suggests the company is actively testing it before a wider rollout. The spatial audio feature could significantly enhance Discord’s appeal for group voice communication, particularly for gaming servers and other multi-user scenarios where managing multiple simultaneous voices is a common challenge.
The exact release timeline and which platforms will support the feature remain unclear, but the discovery indicates Discord is focusing on improving its core voice chat capabilities.
