Discord is where gaming groups, study circles, work teams and fan communities spend their time online. The Mac app gathers everything into one window: servers split into tidy text and voice channels, direct messages, group chats and calls. You can hop into a voice channel and talk while you play, share your screen with friends, or stream a game to the people in your channel. It runs quietly in the background, so a community stays one click away all day.

Key Features

• Servers with organised text channels, voice channels and announcements
• Clear voice chat with background noise reduction and echo control
• Screen sharing and live streaming to friends inside your channel
• Direct messages and group chats with voice and video calls
• Roles, permissions, bots and custom emoji to shape each community
