Introduction and Review

Discord: Talk, Chat & Hang Out, provided by Discord Inc. and launched on May 7, 2015, is a communication and community application mainly for group users, which allows users to have instant interaction through text, pictures, audio and video messaging or audio and video calls in its high-speed, reliable and stable chat channels with various themes for different communities. It enables strangers from all over the world who have never met but talked about a certain topic or hundreds of people in the same school club to connect with each other across time and space. Discord instantly won the love and support of gamers, business people, educators, and more, thanks to its fast, stable instant messaging and social networking features that tightly knit people who share common interests or connections.

Discord’s emergence has made the original lonely mumbling and immersion in one's own world full of interactivity and open communication. Whether it’s a desire to get your childhood friends together for a chat, a deliberately created channel where you can talk freely with your game buddies as you explore the game, or discuss your ideas with strangers scattered around the world who are also big fans of Impressionist paintings, Discord, which allows up to half a million people to live on the same server, allows people with different purposes and communication topics to communicate and stay connected with stable, reliable, and high-quality advanced audio, video, and text calling technology, regardless of place or time or the quality of their connection. Not only is the maximum number of total members in a channel allowed to accommodate such a large number of people, but each user is also supported to customize and manage up to 100 different channel groups according to different topics such as work, art, games, family, making communication more diversified and structured to make communication more orderly and clear. It’s worth noting that there’s no need to worry about the chat channel you join or create being interrupted by uninvited strangers. All Discord servers are created on an invitation-only basis, meaning that people who haven’t received an invitation from a channel creator or member can’t join, which ensures a high degree of privacy.

Not only that, the smart voice channel lets users be seen by friends who are also communicating online while aimlessly exploring one of Discord’s many channels, and allows users to join the chat directly without having to invite or re-call. What is more intelligent is that during the video call, not only the pictures captured by the camera of each user’s device can be displayed in the call interface, but also the games in the common competition can be shared with friends through the screen sharing, which makes the communication full of vitality.
