If Discord keybind not working in the game you won’t be able to communicate with your friends while gaming and this can ruin your gaming experience. Luckily, there are a few ways to fix this.

Why do Discord keybinds not work in games?

If you can’t use Discord keybinds in the game, it means that the game and Discord are using different privileges or that your hotkeys aren’t configured.

What can I do if Discord keybind is not working in the game?

1. Run Discord as an administrator

For this method to work, both the game and Discord need to run with the same privileges, either regular or administrator.

If the game runs with regular permissions, Discord doesn’t need to run in admin mode.

2. Configure your hotkeys

Users reported that you don’t have to create a new keybind, instead, you can use the same ones, but you need to manually set them to use them.

If the Discord hotkeys are still not working in the game, you can try using the Game Overlay.
