@Roachella I ran into the exact same issue where Discord Web kept freezing on “RTC Connecting” and refused to start voice chat, even after flushing DNS, reinstalling network drivers, and even changing the server region — nothing helped at all. 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...

Dealing with Discord web getting stuck at RTC Connecting sounds incredibly annoying, especially after using all the standard workarounds and even changing browsers. 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...

@ethelreiz I've had this problem for genuinely like 2 years your a life saver.

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 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.
