How to Add a Soundboard to Discord

Open Server Settings

In Discord, click your server name at the top left, then click Server Settings in the menu that opens.

Open Soundboard and click Upload Sound

In Server Settings, click Soundboard under Expression on the left, then click Upload Sound. This server has no sounds yet.

Choose a sound file and trim it

In the Upload a Sound dialog, pick a sound file — Run-Amok(chosic.com).mp3 here, 107.10 seconds long — and drag the trim handles in the preview to cut it down. The file picker itself is not shown on camera: the dialog opens with the file already chosen.

Name the sound, pick an emoji, and set the volume

Type a Sound Name — my fun here — click Related Emoji to pick one (the sunglasses emoji, :sunglasses:, here), and drag the Sound Volume slider to about halfway (44% here).

Trim the clip to length and click Upload

If the sound is still too long, drag the trim handles again — the clip here is down to 9.99 seconds — then click Upload.

Check the sound is listed

Discord shows a green “Sound uploaded” notice, and your sound appears in the list — the sunglasses emoji and my fun here, with 7 slots of 8 still available.

Join a voice channel and open the soundboard

Go back to your server, join a voice channel such as General, then click the soundboard button in the bottom control bar — hovering it shows the “Open Soundboard” tooltip.

Click your sound to play it

In the soundboard panel, click your sound — my fun here. It plays in the voice channel for everyone there; while it plays, its emoji fills your video tile.
