Don't know Discord yet? Then it's high time you did, because Discord has become an indispensable part of the gaming world. Let's take a closer look at the platform...
The goal of the founders of Discord was to develop a free communication software where gamers can chat with their friends while playing a video game. This is a huge advantage in online multiplayer games, where team communication is one of the most important attributes. Another point is the online connection in a game. Discord runs in the background of the game without losing much connection. For gamers this offers several advantages, because they can share their clips during a game directly in Discord or stream them via Discord for friends.
On the platform, anyone can easily create their server. A server is a kind of group, and the user interface is quite simple. The person who created a server automatically becomes a moderator:in. Friends, acquaintances, family, colleagues or like-minded people can be invited. Groups are searched for online. Each person who joins a Discord server is automatically assigned a user role. Moderators can decide in their Discord server which user role other invited people get. Be it as moderators, as admins or other specific roles. The roles can be customized as desired.
As soon as the server is created, various channels are opened. These subgroups are created by the moderator:in. There are two categories, a voice channel and a text channel. These differ in the way they communicate with each other. On a voice channel only spoken, on a text channel only written. The channels give the whole server a certain structure. So you get a good overview quickly. For example, on the right side you can see the people who are online and on the other side you can see the game and the statistics.
Discord offers the possibility to install bots on the server. But what are the benefits of these little helpers? Bots support the server operators. Thus, a variety of tasks and functions can be automated. This helps immensely in building up one's own community. Bots can be used for welcome messages for new server users, for translation, as a calendar and much more.
If this is still not enough, you can access Discord-Nitro, so you have the possibility to share even bigger pictures/videos with your community. Generally there is more customization possibility within the server on Discord-Nitro. However, this is subject to a fee.
Discord is much more than just a platform for gamers; the platform is visited more and more by non-gamers. People meet on the channel not only to play games, but also to get to know new people, to watch each other via video chat and to talk about any topic. Topics vary and range from the latest memes, fashion, gaming or even go as far as learning together. There is a server for every person. Discord is gaining popularity because of the wide variety of ways to connect with each other.Discord stands for the different ways to talk, to spend a good time together. It is a feeling of community.
