First, in the bottom-left corner of Discord, select the gear icon that is labelled Settings. This will allow you to have Discord open during your Twitch stream while silencing notifications. In the left sidebar of the app, select Notifications from the App Settings menu, and then scroll down until you reach the Sounds category. You can silence the app entirely by using the switch that is located next to “Disable All Notification Sounds.” If this is not the case, you have the option to silence individual notifications.

After you have connected your accounts, you will need to make some further configurations before you can utilize your Twitch emotes in your Discord server. Launch Discord, select the server you wish to use, and then navigate to the settings menu. Navigate to the Roles tab and toggle the switch next to Use External Emojis to the “On” position. If you so choose, you can restrict the use of these emotes to only subscribers and moderators as well.
