Especially when the closures during the pandemic forced people to stay at home, the number of users on online communication platforms increased significantly. One of the most popular among these platforms is the Discord platform. Discord is used by people who play online video games to keep in touch during the game. Therefore, many players today use Discord as a communication application. Recently, it appeals not only to players but also to users in many other areas.
What is Discord?
Discord is a communication application similar to platforms such as Skype or professional communication platforms such as Slack. Discord is often used by people who play PC games. It supports video calls, voice chat, text and allows users to communicate the way they want. Players using the Discord platform can meet other players around the world and enter into in-game competitions by forming teams with different people.
The app facilitates chat between multiple people thanks to Discord servers, helps to see other people, and offers functions to add other people to the friends list for communication. Discord serves not only as a way to communicate with other people while gaming, but also as an organizational and social tool.
Discord users can also set up servers according to their interests. Discord music bots can also be added to these servers. Thanks to the Discord music bot, users can automatically listen to songs while chatting.
Discord is a multi-device platform. Therefore, Discord can be downloaded for free for Windows, Mac, Android, iOS and even Linux. Additionally, Discord is a platform that can be used without downloading. Discord can be used from the web browser.

How to use Discord?
When entering Discord, users are greeted by the “Home Screen”. On this main screen, the friend list and the servers you join can be seen. Adding another Discord user to the friend list is a very simple process. Every Discord user has a username. The username of the person to be added to the friend list must be known. When the “Add Friend” button is pressed in the “Direct Messages” section, the other party’s username is pasted into the relevant field and a friend request is sent. Once the friend request is accepted, the other party can be contacted via video or voice. Other users can also be added to the chat, even creating a server with many people.
Discord servers can be made public or private so only certain people can enter. An invitation code is needed for other people to join private servers.
Another advantage of Discord is screen sharing. In this way, in games etc. In some cases, users can see each other’s screens.
