While the overlay works with many popular games, it won&#8217;t work in others. You&#8217;ll need to disable the <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>overlay in the game<\/em><\/span> to avoid distractions. Here&#8217;s how. 1. Enable hardware acceleration for <strong>Discord<\/strong>. If you don&#8217;t have hardware acceleration enabled, you&#8217;ll need to enable it to use the application.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll also need to go into your <strong>Discord<\/strong> settings and make sure that the overlay is enabled in the appropriate games. First, minimize the application on your system tray. You can do this by going to the home screen. Then, click the gear icon at the bottom left of the screen. Next, choose the option called &#8220;App Settings&#8221;. Scroll down until you find the App Settings tab and click Overlay. On the left side, click the toggle next to &#8220;Enable in-game overlay.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_turn_off_discord_overlay_in_game\"><\/span>How to turn off discord overlay in game<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>To disable the overlay<\/strong> in a specific game, go to the settings menu.

If you don&#8217;t want the overlay to appear in all games, simply disable the setting.

This icon is located on the bottom left corner of the page. Look for the gear icon next to your user name. Once you&#8217;ve found it, you&#8217;ll need to tap the <em><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">OverlayStore<\/span> <\/em>in the Keys column and toggle it off. The overlay should now appear in its default location.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_turn_discord_overlay_off\"><\/span>How to turn discord overlay off<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>You can turn off the Discord overlay<\/strong> by choosing the settings menu on the top left of your screen. By choosing the option, you can turn off the overlay in any game you&#8217;re playing. You can also choose which widgets to display while gaming. You can even change their positions and hide them when you&#8217;re not using them. The settings menu will also allow you to customize the font size and position of your widgets.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re unable to <strong>turn off Discord overlay<\/strong>, you can still use Discord&#8217;s in-game chat feature by using hotkeys. Similarly, you can use hotkeys to move the overlay, too. If you don&#8217;t want to disable the overlay entirely, you can always try using the &#8216;enable&#8217; option. Alternatively, you can disable the In-game chat button. If you&#8217;ve already disabled it, you can customize it for specific games.<\/p>\n<p>There are several ways to disable <strong>Discord overlay in games<\/strong>. The first method is to open the Discord application and minimize it in the system tray. Then, click the user settings icon on the system tray. Afterward, click the gear icon in the bottom left corner of the screen. Then, you should be able to see the Overlay in your game. If the overlay is still appearing, you can try to enable it again.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_turn_off_discord_overlay_battlefront_2\"><\/span>How to turn off discord overlay battlefront 2<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>To enable or disable the Discord overlay<\/strong>, go to Settings &gt; General.

In some cases, the overlay will be displayed during gaming. In other cases, you can disable the <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">overlay in games<\/span> completely.
