- Go to Keybinds
- Click on Add a Keybind, once you click on it, it will make a new section that consists of Action and Keybind.

If you’re a streamer or a live YouTuber then there is plenty of software you can use to have different settings. The most popular one is Open Broadcaster Software or most commonly known as OBS, as it’s not resource-heavy and most importantly, it’s free and open source.

Open OBS, there you’ll see a section of hotkeys with plenty of options such as stop streaming, start streaming, stop recording, start recording, select the appropriate one, and set a hotkey the same way as Discord. Make sure to select different keys for your hotkeys, selecting the same button could mute you from both Discord and OBS, but it still comes down to personal preference.
