GET TO KNOW THE TOOL

What is Discord?

Discord provides voice, video and text conversations for groups and communities. Its desktop and mobile applications let members stay involved from different devices, and its streaming features support sharing activities with friends.

Core access is free, while Nitro and Nitro Basic are optional subscriptions for enhancements such as larger uploads, customization or higher-quality streaming. It is worth evaluating for a community-oriented space, but a work-chat migration should also check moderation, membership and record-keeping needs. Optional subscription perks are not equivalent to business administration features.
