Whether you’re into video video games, live occasions, or just want to enjoy a smooth live broadcasting, Discord becoming unresponsive can be a major inconvenience. Let us explore several frequent causes behind this issue and how you can resolve it.
1. Problems with your internet
Internet issues are usually the reason of Discord becoming unresponsive while you’re streaming. It could be your sluggish internet connection or behaving erratically.
I once had this happen while attending a major gaming event. Discord kept crashing all the time. It turned out my Wi-Fi signal was weak. Switching to a wired connection resolved it, and the stream became smooth once more.
2. An old Discord version
Having an old version of Discord can lead to freezing, too. They continuously update to fix stuff and make it run better.
Using an older version can result in various problems, including freezing. I experienced the same issue and it kept happening. Upgrading to the latest version made a significant improvement.
3. Running too many things on your computer
Have too many things running simultaneously on your computer? which can cause Discord to crash. Your computer has limited resources available, and if you’ve had too many applications consuming resources, the system may become slow or freeze.
I had Discord stopped working during a stream and found out it was because I had excessive number of open browser tabs and additional applications in use. Just closing some of them made a big difference.
4. Your computer or device might not be powerful enough
Your hardware can be a factor if your Discord’s freezing while streaming. It might not have enough power or memory to keep up.
I’ve heard from a buddy who had Discord became unresponsive during gaming streams. He just upgraded his upgrading the hardware resolved the issue.
5. Stream’s quality might be too high for your setup
The streaming resolution or quality level might be too much for your computer to handle. If the stream is super high-res, your the system may have difficulty handling.
I had the same problem with a high-resolution streaming on an outdated laptop. I just reduced the streaming quality, and everything was smooth.
