A new Discord leak suggests the platform may be working on spatial audio for voice chats.
Dataminers discovered references to the feature inside Discord Canary builds, the app’s experimental testing version.
The leaked code suggests users could place people in virtual positions during calls, making voices sound like they are coming from different directions while using headphones.
Voice layouts could include:
- Line
- Arc
- Grid
Users may be able to adjust:
- Room size
- Distance between participants
- Audio positioning
Voices would sound more natural in group calls. People farther away could sound quieter. Left and right positioning would change how voices are heard.
The feature could help make large voice chats easier to follow by separating voices instead of having everyone sound centered in the same space.
Discord has not officially announced the feature, and Canary leaks do not guarantee a public release
