Discord Explained: How Does It Work & Is It Secure?

People love to stay in touch. Whether that’s talking to friends and family on video calls, messaging through apps, or touching base while working remotely. Discord is an easy to use, free communications app, similar to apps like Skype and Slack, but aimed at gamers with a lot more features. And you won’t believe that it’s being used for anything and everything that you can think of from large corporate meetings to job recruitments, live karaoke nights to virtual wedding parties. Discord lets friends chat with each other either one-to-one or as a group via a server. It provides user-friendly text, voice, screen sharing and video chat services through public or private servers that can be set up pretty quickly. Discord is projecting itself as “the future of platforms” where you can chat with friends, learn something online, or just share ideas, even if you’re not into gaming.
