The "Awaiting Endpoint" error on Discord typically happens when Discord has trouble connecting to a server or voice channel. Here are the main ways to fix it:
- Check Discord server status to confirm no outage is occurring.
- Restart Discord fully and, if needed, reboot your device to clear any temporary glitches.
- Restart your modem/router and ensure your internet connection is stable.
- Change the Discord voice server region in your server or channel settings to another region.
- Flush your DNS cache by running the command
ipconfig /flushdns
in an admin command prompt. - Disable any VPNs or proxies that may be interfering with the connection.
- If using the desktop app, log out of Discord and log back in.
- If issues persist, try uninstalling and reinstalling Discord.
Additional steps include clearing browser cache if using the web app, resetting TCP/IP settings, and temporarily disabling antivirus software as it can sometimes block Discord connections. These combined steps have resolved "Awaiting Endpoint" errors for many users and are the standard troubleshooting methods recommended by Discord support and community guides.
