The Discord message "Awaiting Endpoint" typically means the app is having trouble connecting to a Discord voice server or endpoint. This issue can be caused by several factors including poor internet connection, Discord server outages, VPN or proxy interference, network or firewall issues, or app glitches. Common troubleshooting steps to fix the "Awaiting Endpoint" error include:

  • Restarting Discord and the device to clear temporary glitches.
  • Checking internet connectivity and resetting the router.
  • Flushing DNS and resetting TCP/IP settings.
  • Ensuring Discord servers are operational by checking Discord status.
  • Changing the server region in Discord voice channel settings.
  • Disabling VPN or proxy services if in use.
  • Clearing browser cache or reinstalling the Discord app.
  • Temporarily disabling antivirus software that might block connections.

This message usually appears when trying to connect to voice channels, and the client is stuck while establishing a connection with the voice server endpoint.
