Discord For Mac

Discord is a chat solution aimed to help gamers communicate with each other while playing, without hogging your system’s resources. The app comes with both text and voice chat support, integrates IP and DDoS protection, and allows you to create multiple channels hosted on servers hosted all over the world.

The Discord service can be accessed through any web browser, yet the Discord desktop application provides a less cluttered environment for dealing with your voice or text communications.

Within the Discord main window, you get to define as many servers as you like, and the service allows you to host them in different regions of the world. On each server, you get to create any number of text or voice channels.

Discord automatically connects to your Mac’s built-in microphone to provide support for voice communication. However, you get to both mute and deafen the server whenever you need to deal with other tasks.

On each channel, you get to invite any number of Discord members by sharing a link generated by the application. For security reasons, you can choose to set a validity period for the link and a maximum number of uses.

Moreover, the server - client communications are encrypted, which means that your IP address remains private.

At the same time, Discord comes with extensive management capabilities for the newly created servers: you get to set up member permissions, to decide who can manage the server or channels, who can manage roles, kick or ban members, and so on.

Discord allows you to voice chat with other members during gameplay without interfering with the game’s performance, but also integrates text chat functions that enable you to exchange messages in a more conventional manner.

The utility also allows you to share images, videos, and other media content just as efficiently. The best part is that the Discord service can be accessed via a web browser, and also comes with clients for iOS or Android mobile devices, so you can chat with your friends even when you are on the go.
