Discord is an instant messaging and VoIP social platform that allows communication through voice calls, video calls, text messaging, and media. It is designed for gaming and is great for just chilling with friends or building a community. Customize your space and gather your friends to talk while playing your favorite games, or hanging out.
Discord lets friends chat via voice, video, or text, and join servers where large communities gather. Gaming is Discordโs focus. At one point, the service gave away free PC games to paid subscribers before realizing it couldnโt beat Steam. However, non-gamers can take advantage of Discordโs useful features, too.
Communication can be private or occur in virtual communities known as โservers.โ A server is a collection of persistent chat rooms and voice channels accessible through invite links.
