4 Ways To Fix Awaiting Endpoint Error on Discord

Fix #1 – Wait for Discord Servers

The first thing to do is simply wait for a while, giving Discord time to fix their servers.

Something else you can try to fix Discord Awaiting Endpoint error is changing the server region on your PC, by following these steps:

  2. Click on ‘Settings’ in the menu on the left hand side.
  3. Now click on ‘Overview’ in ‘Server Settings’ and change the server location.
  4. Restart Discord and see whether the Endpoint error has been fixed.

The reason behind this is that Discord servers connect to a specific geographical area. The nearer you are to a server, the less lag you should experience in your calls.
