When Discord refuses to allow the mic to be un-muted, that usually means you are in a situation where "Push-to-Talk" (PTT) is required, but you are on "Voice Activity" instead. PTT is like pressing a key on a walkie-talkie or CB-radio when you speak. To set your PTT, click on the "Settings" cog, then "Voice & Video," make sure "Input Mode" is set to "Push-to-Talk" and then record your preferred key in the "Shortcut" field. After doing that, you should be able to make/take calls. If you have any problem with the settings, feel free to DM me!
Thanks Tiffany for the discord advice, I will have to check that out and get it straight. You may just get a call from me when I tackle it. Thanks for all the support.
We do have plenty to be very grateful for when it comes to the overall condition of the country as far as war is concerned, we don't have mortars flying over our houses that I know of here.
I hope her son can make it to the compound and then they can work on getting out of there, right now it is just a time for trying to survive and make it to the next day.
