What’s up guys, in this short tutorial, I will
show you how to fix the RTC Connecting error when trying to use voice chat on Discord.
This should be quite an easy tutorial, for more information, click on the
first link in the description below.
First of all, make sure that the
Discord servers are operational.
This can be done by visiting
the discordstatus.com website, which will be linked in the video description.
Here, make sure that, when expanding the voice category, the general location of your Discord
server is operational. In case any of these servers are not operational, or in maintenance,
then this could mean that it will take up to a few hours for the error to be resolved.
In case you’re unable to wait, then you can make use of a VPN service, or simply use another
server in another location for the time being.
In case all of these servers are operational,
then the issue might be on your end.
Make sure that you are using a
reliable network connection.
Before making any tweaks on your operating
system, I suggest resetting your Discord session. To do so, simply exit out of the
application by using your Task Manager.
Search for Task Manager in your
start menu search to open it up.
In the Processes tab, locate the Discord processes
and make sure to end them from running.
When this is done, navigate to
Discord.com on your favourite browser and select Open Discord in your browser.
Your Discord session should then restart to be used in your browser and you should then
try to join the voice channel again.
In case this fixed your issue, then it should
be resolved on the application as well.
If you still get the RTC Connecting error, then
make sure to disable your VPN service and in your Discord app, navigate to your User Settings.
Here, under Voice & Video, scroll down, and under Quality of Service, disable the Quality
of service high packet priority option.
As this could otherwise
bottleneck slow connections, it’s not suggested to enable this option,
or at least try to disable it for some time to see if it improves your overall
network connection while using Discord.
As a last resort, we will flush your DNS
server address using your command prompt.
In your start menu search,
enter CMD and hit enter.
On this window, use the
command ipconfig /flushdns
This will flush and reset the
content of your DNS resolver cache and should help fix the RTC
Connecting error for Discord.
In case you have any further issues
or problems following this tutorial, then I suggest following my extensive
guide linked in the description below.
I hope this helped you out, leave a comment if you
have any questions and see you in the next one.
