How to join a private voice chat in discord?

If you find any private channel on Discord, it will be difficult for you to take entry into the channel. Entry into the private channels is subject to Admin’s permission.

If you are not one of them, you have to seek permission from the admin to access the private voice channel. There can be too many reasons for the channel to get privatized but joining it depends only on one factor which is Permission. If you are permitted, you can access the private voice chat, and thereafter you can join it.

To join the channel once you have got the access:

Click on the Server list
Go to the Voice Channel and Join it
You can also leave the channel by clicking on the desired option to disconnect
