Discord audio
Discord audio routes the coach through a Discord voice channel instead of your computer speakers: GT Coach joins the channel and speaks there, you join the same channel from your PS5, and the coaching arrives in your headset alongside the game. It suits VR players in particular, and the car’s sound and the coach reach you through the same headset.
It needs the Pro plan, and it is built for the PS5.
Setting it up
Section titled “Setting it up”Use a Discord server you own. The bot serves one driver per server.
-
Open Settings, go to Audio, and choose Set up Discord.
-
In Set up Discord audio, choose Install the bot. If you do not have a server, the same window links a Discord template you can use to create your own (it’s free and easy). Discord’s own page opens: pick your server under Add to server and choose Continue. You need the Manage Server permission on that server.
-
Back in GT Coach, Choose your audio channel lists your voice channels. Pick one and choose Use this channel. GT Coach switches your output to Discord (PS5) for you.
-
Link your PlayStation to your Discord account if you have not already. This happens on the PS5 side, outside GT Coach: Discord’s official guide walks through it.
-
Join that server and channel from your PS5 before you start driving: press the PS button, open the social section, find your server, and join the voice channel. You can stay as long as you want in this channel while on the PS5.
-
Run Calibrate (Settings, Audio, under Brake point cue) to compensate for the latency of the Discord server. The process is explained on the brake point cue page.
-
Start a practice. The GT Coach bot joins your channel when the practice starts, and leaves when it ends.
If the audio stops mid-session
Section titled “If the audio stops mid-session”GT Coach tries to rejoin the channel on its own. While it is trying you will see Audio reconnecting… in the app.
If it cannot rejoin, the app shows Audio off. Your session continues, so you don’t lose your progress. It is advised to end it and start a new one to force Discord to reconnect.
If it will not connect at all
Section titled “If it will not connect at all”If the bot has been removed from your server, or the channel deleted, while Discord is still your audio output, GT Coach shows Discord audio isn’t connected and offers Open audio settings. There, choose Reconnect to install the bot and pick a channel again, or switch your output back to your speakers or headphones.
