2. Re-connect and relink your Discord account to Xbox

This second method will require you to disconnect the initial connection you have made between your Discord account and Xbox, don’t worry you will be reconnecting them again.

Go to the connections section of your Discord account or app, disconnect your Xbox from your account and connect again.

Finally, re-connect to the Discord voice by re-linking it to your Xbox console through the Xbox mobile app.

3. Updating to the latest app versions

We all know that there isn’t anything that app updates don’t solve especially when it comes to bugs.

Discord voice was just introduced in early July of 2022 and it is still in its beginning stages so there are bound to be issues and complaints.

This means that every update comes with a new fix for every bug.

Updating both the Discord app and the Xbox mobile app and re-linking the two has been reported to have solved the issue of not being able to connect Xbox to Discord voice in many users.

4. Change consoles

Most of the time, contacting tech support helps with various bugs and errors that happen occasionally with apps like this, even though this process sometimes takes time and a lot of waiting.

You can contact Xbox’s tech support here and Discord’s here respectively.
