Discord is the communications platform that enables over 200 million people to build meaningful connections through voice, video, and text features. More than 90% of Discord users play games, spending a combined 1.9 billion hours gaming on the platform each month. The company was founded to solve a fundamental problem: how to talk with friends while gaming together. Since launching in 2015, Discord has evolved from a gaming-focused chat app to a comprehensive platform where communities form around shared interests, hobbies, and passions.
Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming, making it easier and more fun for people to talk and hang out before, during, and after playing games. The platform supports everything from casual friend groups to massive organized communities, with features like custom emojis, server boosting, voice chat, video streaming, and integrated activities. With a mission to create the best place to hang out, Discord continues to expand its capabilities across PC, mobile, and console platforms.
