How to Fix Discord Freezing When Closing Valorant
If Discord freezes when you close Valorant, the video’s fix is to switch off Debug Logging in Voice & Video settings. Confirming the change quits and relaunches Discord by itself.

Steps
Open Discord and open User Settings
Open Discord on your computer, then click the gear icon at the bottom left, next to your username, to open User Settings.
Open Voice & Video
In Settings, scroll down the left menu and click Voice & Video.
Expand Diagnostic Settings
Scroll down to Advanced and expand Show Diagnostic Settings to reveal the debug options.
Switch off Debug Logging
In the expanded Diagnostic Settings, click the Debug Logging toggle to switch it off.
Confirm the change
Click Okay in the Change Debug Logging dialog. Changing this setting quits and re-launches Discord on its own — that relaunch is the restart.
Check Discord is back and test Valorant
After the relaunch, Discord is back on the Friends page. Launch Valorant and use Discord normally to check the freezing is gone.
Good to know
- The video never shows Valorant launching or a before/after freeze test on camera: the ‘freezing is fixed’ result is the video’s claim, not a demonstrated result.
- Confirming the Debug Logging change quits and relaunches Discord automatically; no separate manual restart is needed.
- If the issue continues, the video advises updating or reinstalling Discord.
- This was recorded in the Discord desktop app on Windows, not on a phone.
