1. React in Discord Voice Calls
You likely join a lot of voice calls on Discord, and that makes voice channels a perfect place to deploy some reaction sound buttons. Something you know is going to be funny or wildly inappropriate is about to be said? Drop the perfect sound effect on everyone as your audio based response has far more impact than any words you could put together.
You can run browser audio from your mic in a call using normal virtual audio cable software, keep a tab open with the reactions soundboard while you’re in a call and as soon as something happens right click the corresponding sound and let it speak for you.
2. Reactions to YouTube videos and TikToks
If you make content, reaction sounds can completely change the whole video. A "Bruh", a vine boom, or a laugh track placed right on that one cut makes it more funny than it was before. Your viewer relates to these because they know already.
Go browse the meme soundboard and download viral sound reacts straight into your video editor.
3. React in group chats without typing!
You don’t have to be in a live call to use reaction sounds, download a clip and send as a voice note on WhatsApp, Telegram or any other messaging app. Sometimes a well timed audio reaction in a group chat thread is funnier than any typed response.
The WhatsApp audios category has short, punchy clips made for exactly this kind of use.
4. Use Reactions During Live Streams
Streamers that use sound buttons, for whatever reason, hold viewer retention much longer.
