What is discord?
Discord is a free platform for voice, video, and text communication, designed to build and support communities. It was initially popular among gamers but has since expanded to a wide range of user groups, including educators, businesses, and hobbyists. Key features of Discord include:
Servers and Channels: Users can create and join servers, which are communities where members can communicate in different channels. Channels can be text-based or voice-based.
- Voice and Video Calls: Users can engage in voice and video calls, either in private one-on-one sessions or within group channels.
- Text Messaging: Users can send direct messages to friends or chat in text channels within a server.
- Screen Sharing: Users can share their screens with others, which is useful for presentations, gaming, or troubleshooting.
- Bots and Integrations: Discord supports bots, which are automated programs that can perform a variety of tasks, from moderating chats to playing music. There are also integrations with other platforms and services.
Customizable Roles and Permissions: Server administrators can assign roles to members and set permissions to control who can access specific channels and features.
Discord can be accessed via its desktop application, mobile app, or web browser, making it a versatile tool for communication and collaboration.
