The "Discord Awaiting Endpoint" error generally means that the Discord app is having trouble connecting to a voice server endpoint. This can be caused by server outages, local network issues, or routing problems. Here are the key ways to fix this issue:
- Restart Discord and your device to remove temporary glitches. Make sure no Discord processes are running in the background by using Task Manager to end them before relaunching the app.
- Check the Discord server status (via DiscordStatus.com) to verify if there is a widespread outage causing the problem.
- Restart your internet router and modem to clear network glitches.
- Flush DNS on your computer by running the command
ipconfig/flushdnsin an administrator Command Prompt. - Reset network settings and TCP/IP stack if needed for Windows.
- Switch the voice server region in Discord to one closer to your location (this can only be done by the server admin).
- Disable VPN or proxy if you use one, as they can interfere with Discord connections.
- Update Discord by refreshing with Ctrl+R, or reinstall the app if the problem persists.
- If the problem is with a specific voice channel, switching to another voice channel or server region can help.
If none of these local steps work and Discord servers are up, contacting Discord support might be necessary. Many of these solutions stem from the fact that the "awaiting endpoint" error often relates to network or server connection issues, so improving or changing the network route can resolve the error.
