Introduction

Discord is a communication tool created in 2015 to accomplish one task. Improve communication between people who play video games. The platform has been tweaked many, many times since its creation to improve the efficacy and simplicity of this communication. It boasts a robust and low-latency text chat, high-fidelity audio communication, and crystal clear video transmission. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Discord has seemingly shifted its priority from gamers to everyone, particularly including academics. This shift saw the introduction of scheduled events, community stages, and forum channels. All in all, the platform is much more versatile and welcoming than it used to be, and I encourage those who have small businesses, academic groups, clubs, and startups to use this platform for consistently reliable communication.
