What is Discord?

Discord is like a digital clubhouse where you and your friends can hang out together, kind of like a group chat but way cooler [1][2]. You can talk to each other using your voice, video, or by typing messages, and you can customize your own special space to make it however you want [3].

Why would you use it?

People use Discord mainly to play video games together while talking to their friends, but you can also use it just to chat and hang out about anything you're interested in [1][2]. You can even create big communities with people from all around the world who like the same things you do [1].

What can you do on Discord?

You can send text messages, talk on voice call, do video calls, and share stuff like pictures or funny discoveries with your friends [3][4]. It's like having all your friends in one place where you can customize rooms (called channels) for different topics [1].

How do you get started?

You just download the Discord app on your phone, computer, or tablet, make an account, and then you can join servers (communities) or create your own space to invite your friends to [2][3].
