Discord
Discord is a free voice and text messaging application that is available as a desktop, browser, and mobile application (iOS and Android) with over 150 million monthly active users . 55 Typically, Discord is used as a space for gamers to chat either by instant message, voice chat, or video chat. Discord is now being used for many different types of online communities such as YouTuber/Influencer chat channels, art communities, and a place to meet new people. It is estimated that 960 million Discord messages are sent every day . 56 Within Discord, users can create or join ‘Servers’ where they can invite as many people as they would like to engage in a chat together. Voice chat can be used as either an open mic or push -to- talk – a feature that only allows others to hear you by enabling voice via the designated button set by a user on their keyboard or mouse. Users can also share their computer screens with Discord. Discord also offers a paid subscription service called Discord Nitro 57 that allows users to have Discord upgrades such as increased upload limits, customized emojis within servers, HD video streaming, access to games and activities to play within the platform with friends, Server Boosts, custom profiles, and more.
