Ever play World of Warcraft and suddenly you can’t type in the chatbox? Or your mouse suddenly doesn’t work anymore? Tried relogging and the problem is still there?
It’s an easy fix that’s often complicated by another program- namely Discord. If you’re not a Discord user, you can stop reading now. This fix won’t help you.
All you need to do is the following:
- Log in to Discord if you haven’t already
- Click on the Setting icon (the gear)
- Click on the “games” tab
- Uncheck the “overlay” checkbox next to World of Warcraft.
That should fix it! You should no longer get any issues with Discord and WoW.

Writer and journalist for almost a year. Doing this for fun. Learned a lot along the way. I’m interested in businesses and the moves they make, tech and how it changes the world, and of course, enjoy playing some video games! I enjoy console and PC, but mostly RPGs, FPS, and League of Legends.
