Audio and connection issues
Most stage problems are Discord-side and clear up fast.
Restart the Discord desktop app
Quit it fully, not just close the window, then reopen it. Then rejoin the stage.
No audio
Check you’re not muted in the stage, and check Discord’s output device under User Settings → Voice & Video.
Choppy or cutting out
Leave the stage and rejoin. If it persists, switch from browser to the Discord desktop app — the app handles stages better than most browsers.
Can’t join the stage at all
Usually a permissions issue. Confirm your membership is active and your Discord is still linked. See I connected but don’t have access.
STILL BROKEN?
