Yet another social media messenger, yes, but before you crib about having low storage in your phone, let me quickly remind you how Discord has the power to essentially swap a bunch of existing apps in your phone/PC.
Discord’s wide range of offerings include:
- Free voice and video calls:
The force of Discord lies in the very essence of it.
The ability to make free unlimited voice and video calls.
Not only can you make one-on-one calls with unlimited talk-time, but can even create groups of up to 10 people, or servers with as many as 8 lakh people. Crazy, innit!
Certainly why in recent times the majority of gamers and YouTubers have switched to Discord.
- A server for everything:
People use Discord to talk about many things: from data science to art projects, homework to weekend plans. There’s a Discord server for everything.
- Text and voice channels:
A Discord server is organised into text and voice channels.
In text channels, users can post messages, upload files and share messages for others to see at any time.
In voice channels, users can connect through a voice or video call in real time. They can further share their screen with friends.
- Organise virtual events on the go: Events
With Discord, possibilities are endless.
With the latest update as of January 2022, users can host live events for their community members. Depending on your choice and interests, these virtual events can be easily organised in a Voice, Text, or Stage channel. From open mics to online meetings, music nights to mental health sessions. You name it, Discord has you covered.
- Set a stage for your next event: Stage Channels
No matter the size of your event, what you would fundamentally require is a dynamic stage to set things in motion. Which is exactly where a stage channel presses into service. A stage channel can host up to a whopping 1000 members at a time. Stage moderators can further revoke or give access to their community members to speak as they please. Members, on the other hand, can always raise their hands to notify the moderators about their engagement.
At this point, I know what you’re probably thinking. Wasn’t this the penultimate power of Zoom Meetings? Without a doubt. But if you are looking for a free software that does the same, and more, Discord is here to steal the deal. A free, fast, secure and a one stop solution for most of your social media drives.
- The indomitable power of Discord further elevates with bots: Discord Bots
Discord bots can perform a wide range of useful automated tasks and bot commands in your server. The likes of those include moderating content, banning rule breakers, welcoming new members, dropping memes, playing games and music, among several others.
With Discord Nitro, the modern day messenger offers additional premium range of services at a cost of $9.99 and $4.99 a month.
Users with their boosted nitro profiles can send larger files, longer text, share screen at a higher resolution, among other glossy benefits.
Conclusion:
Discord breaks free the power of social media and hides “nothing” behind a paywall. All extra benefits of Discord Nitro only further simplify the overall experience of Discord. Even a free Discord account is eligible to get the most of the app.
And as we spoke earlier, it can easily dominate and swap *more than one social media app* from your phone/PC. And we all know the names of them.
