I do not use this app, but did you see;

SUPER IMPORTANT NOTE:

At the moment, the overlay is some pretty intense tech with a bit of arcane magic going on under the hood. Unfortunately, our various Anti-Virus software buddies haven't quite finished prodding Discord's files for the 100% good to go. Long story short:

Enabling the overlay might get Discord flagged by your Anti-Virus software. This is ok! We can guarantee it is a false positive. We're working with all the different companies to get Discord whitelisted.

As you go into your software to add Discord to accepted processes, know that any file path that matches this one is 100% organic, certified, robograss-fed, homegrown Discord goodness:

%localappdata%\Discord\app-0.0.***highest-number***\overlay\

(the ***highest-number*** refers to the latest version of Discord. Your path will have different text here.)

You can whitelist files with that path with no problem.

And

Overlay Issues

We mentioned that the overlay is super cool, new technology, right? We here at the Discord HQ will be working hard to expand the overlay whitelist and make sure that it works in even the most obscure indie game.

As we work on the overlay, if you're experiencing issues with games crashing or ping spikes, we recommend you disable it temporarily.

To do this, follow the same steps you used to enable it. If you can't quite remember reading back that far, they are:

A. Open up your User settings

B. Click the games tab

C. Check the overlay box next to the problem game.

8 years later and still doesn't work in Skyrim lmao. But Skyrim is the weird one here, not Discord. I can't even modify the volume with my keyboard/headphones when in game, and they directly interface with Windows. I have to tab out to do anything unrelated to the game. Skyrim is the problem.
