Discord - Draft 1
Have you ever been playing video games with your friends but do not want to deal with the difficulties that come with in-game audio chat? Discord eliminates that by allowing users to easily voice chat directly through the app. In case you have any concerns, do not worry, it is nothing like the mess Skype is.
Not being able to hear your teammates in loading screens, different voice and party chat settings for each game, and having to worry about trolls in game chat can all make your gaming experience unpleasant. Discord is a platform that eliminates all of those problems, as well as, adds even more features for its users. It is an All-in-one voice and text chat program which allows its users to communicate with each other by voice, by channel chats in the voice, by text in the public chat and by talking to people in private conversations. Discord can run on Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Linux, and in web browsers. Pictures and URLs can also be sent in the chat. Each user can also be a part of multiple different servers and switch between them easily. Another great feature of Discord is that Data is stored on Discord's servers. This means conversations can be made between parties without requiring multiple people to be present to store and share information. For example, if a friend sends you a text on discord and you aren’t there or present, you will still get the text. Also, if you do not have a discord account, you can join a server with just a nickname. No registering is required unless the owner of the server specifies a registered account is required. Discord also allows you to create channel categories and subchannels to further organize your servers. It gives users the flexibility, ease, and customization that they deserve to have when gaming.
However, Discord has not only changed the way the gaming industry communicates, but it has changed the way that people all over the world connect with one another. Businesses now have an amazing platform where people can collaborate on projects, brainstorm ideas, and improve their communication between fellow employees easily without having to be in the same office space. For quick conversations, or questions, emails are no longer needed. Just a quick message in a chat will get the job done with no hassle of having to try and stand out among other emails. Schools can also utilize discord for the same purposes. Discord offers a great platform that teachers/professors can monitor all while the students can collaborate and work together for the best out-of-classroom learning experience. As of July 2019, Discord had 250 million users. Truly, Discord is what you make of it.
