<![CDATA[Discord Web is Stuck at "RTC Connecting" and Doesn't Allow Voice Chat]]>Hello. Since last month or so with the Opera GX 67, I realized that I was unable to use Discord voice chat because Discord web on Opera GX was stuck saying "RTC Connecting" and wouldn't allow me to neither speak nor hear the other person. I used Discord web on Opera for years without problems, and with Opera GX since its inception. I tried everything (deleted and did a clean reinstall of all my audio drivers, reset/reinstalled Opera Gx and tested without any extensions installed, ...) to fix it, but none of that worked.

Then I thought of switching to normal Opera (68), and the issue was resolved. Just because of this issue I abstained from using Opera GX and deleted it. I had to put up with the ugly and dysfunctional theme of the Opera (dark theme, the only other option besides the light theme), because of which I was having trouble discerning which tab was my current tab among many open tabs (dark gray on black is a really bad idea).

Anyhow, yesterday I realized with joy that the Opera GX was finally updated to version 68 and installed it right away and uninstalled the normal Opera. But what do I see, the problem is still there. I still can't use Discord web and I had to download the Discord app which I never wanted to use in the first place. I did this because I really can't stand the normal Opera, but you guys seriously need to find what is causing this problem with the Discord web on Opera and fix it as soon as possible since this is a major issue which has been going around for a month.

Thank you.

Discord RTC still connecting?
guys i have the solution!!!

  1. Go to Opera Gx Settings
  2. Click Advanced
  3. Then click "Privacy and Security"
  4. Then scroll down until you see WebRTC, it's on top of VPN
  5. When you are on the WebRTC setting, you can see the it selected the "Disable non-proxied UDP" unselect playfy it and switch to "Use any suitable network interface (recommended)"
  6. You go back to Discord and it's now fixed
    You're welcome!

@Ciccio07 My brother on Opera, you really saved me. I sincerely appreciate it. I've been experiencing this problem for a while, tried nearly everything, and was on the verge of switching to Chrome, but you saved me.

@nstinson778 It sounds like you’re running into a WebRTC connection issue between Discord Web and Opera GX — something that’s become more common recently due to browser-level network or privacy setting changes. Since you’ve already reinstalled drivers and Opera GX, try checking if WebRTC is being blocked: go to Opera GX settings and ensure that “VPN” and “Force WebRTC IP Handling Policy” are disabled, as these can prevent proper voice connections. Also, make sure Hardware Acceleration is enabled and that Discord has microphone permissions under Settings > Privacy & Security > Site Settings > Microphone. If that doesn’t help, testing in a private window or a fresh profile can rule out cached or profile-specific issues — or temporarily using Discord in another browser can confirm if it’s an Opera-specific bug.

I try this, but Opera returns to being disabled every time I shut it down or restart my machine. Is it possible to keep that configuration in place?

It sounds really frustrating to deal with Discord web being stuck at RTC Connecting, especially after trying all the usual fixes and even switching browsers. Since the issue seems specific to netmirror Opera GX, it’s likely related to how the browser handles WebRTC or its network settings, which can interfere with voice chat. For now, using the Discord desktop app is the most reliable workaround, as it bypasses browser-related restrictions entirely.

I ran into the exact same issue on Opera GX—Discord Web stays stuck on RTC Connecting and voice chat never starts. I also tried reinstalling audio drivers, resetting the browser, and disabling extensions, but nothing fixed it. It really seems like a browser-related issue rather than a problem with individual PC settings. Hopefully a future Opera GX update resolves it soon.

I experienced the same “RTC Connecting” problem on Discord Web where voice chat simply refused to connect, even though everything else worked normally. After trying browser resets, driver updates, and extension checks without success, it seems more likely that a recent browser update or a WebRTC compatibility issue is causing the problem rather than anything on the user's end. Hopefully Opera GX and Discord can address this soon, because it’s frustrating when a feature that worked perfectly for years suddenly stops working.😕 😕 😕

Strangely, the moment I switched from my usual browser to Opera (and even tested another browser just to be sure), voice chat worked instantly without any tweaks. It definitely feels like a browser-specific WebRTC or extension conflict rather than a pure network problem, so if anyone’s still stuck, trying a different browser is honestly the quickest workaround...

Given that the problem appears to be unique to Opera GX, it most likely has to do with the way the browser manages WebRTC or its network configurations, which might cause voice chat to malfunction. As of right present, the best dependable option is to use the Discord desktop software, which completely avoids browser-related limitations...
