What is the Discord server location?
Whenever you create any server, discord automatically detects the closest location to get proper ping and response.
Discord Server location is now called Region Override.
Discord has many servers where all the client information is saved and as closest you will be to the discord server, lower your latency will be. Lower latency means a high-quality connection.
Still, Discord has given an option to manually change the location of the discord server which may help you to fix voice lag.
How to Change Discord Server location?
Changing the Discord voice server region is simple and easy to perform, but before changing server location you must be aware of the following points.
- You must be the owner of the Discord voice server for which you want to change the location

We got a lot of feedback from discord users, telling us that people got to know about their location. The fact was they clicked a link that shared their location with the people who send the link.
Please do not click on such links as they can be malware, virus, or any spyware through which your credentials can be compromised.
