WHAT IS DISCORD?

DISCORD IS A VOICE, VIDEO, AND TEXT CHAT APP THAT'S USED BY TENS OF MILLIONS OF
PEOPLE AGES 13+ TO TALK AND HANG OUT WITH THEIR COMMUNITIES AND FRIENDS.

PEOPLE USE DISCORD DAILY TO TALK ABOUT MANY THINGS, RANGING FROM ART PROJECTS
AND FAMILY TRIPS TO HOMEWORK AND MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT. IT'S A HOME FOR
COMMUNITIES OF ANY SIZE, BUT IT'S MOST WIDELY USED BY SMALL AND ACTIVE GROUPS OF
PEOPLE WHO TALK REGULARLY.

THE VAST MAJORITY OF SERVERS ARE PRIVATE, INVITE-ONLY SPACES FOR GROUPS OF
FRIENDS AND COMMUNITIES TO STAY IN TOUCH AND SPEND TIME TOGETHER. THERE ARE ALSO
LARGER, MORE OPEN COMMUNITIES, GENERALLY CENTERED AROUND SPECIFIC TOPICS SUCH AS
POPULAR GAMES LIKE MINECRAFT AND FORTNITE. USERS HAVE CONTROL OVER WHOM THEY
INTERACT WITH AND WHAT THEIR EXPERIENCE ON DISCORD IS.

PEOPLE LOVE DISCORD BECAUSE IT’S A HOME FOR ALL THEIR COMMUNITIES AND GROUPS OF
FRIENDS. IT'S A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN BE THEMSELVES AND SPEND TIME WITH OTHER
PEOPLE WHO SHARE THEIR INTERESTS AND HOBBIES. CONVERSATIONS ON DISCORD ARE
DRIVEN BY THE PEOPLE YOU CHOOSE AND THE TOPICS YOU CHOOSE TO TALK ABOUT.




DISCORD GLOSSARY

Discord has its own vocabulary. You might hear your teen or students using these
words when talking about Discord.

Server: Servers are the spaces on Discord. They are made by specific communities
and friend groups. The vast majority of servers are small and invitation-only.
Some larger servers are public. Any user can start a new server for free and
invite their friends to it.

Channel: Discord servers are organized into text and voice channels, which are
usually dedicated to specific topics and can have different rules.

 * In text channels, users can post messages, upload files, and share images for
   others to see at any time.
 * In voice channels, users can connect through a voice or video call in real
   time, and can share their screen with their friends - we call this Go Live.

DMs and GDMs: Users can send private messages to other users as a direct message
(DM), as well as start a voice or video call. Most DMs are one-on-one
conversations, but users have the option to invite up to nine others to the
conversation to create a private group DM (GDM), with a maximum size of ten
people. Group DMs are not public and require an invite from someone in the group
to join.

Go Live: users can share their screen with other people who are in a server or a
DM with them.

Nitro: Nitro is Discord’s premium subscription service. Nitro offers special
perks for subscribers, such as the option to customize your Discord Tag, the
ability to use custom emotes in every server, a higher file upload cap, and
discounted Server Boosts.

Server Boosts: If your teen is a big fan of a community, they might want to
boost the community’s server (or their own). Like Nitro, Server Boosts give
servers special perks like more custom emotes, better video and voice quality,
and the ability to set a custom invite link. Server Boosts can be bought with
Nitro or purchased separately.

Student Hubs: Discord Hubs for Students allow students to verify their Discord
account with their official student email, and unlock access to an exclusive hub
for students at their school. Within the hub, they can connect with other
verified students, discover servers for study groups or classes, and share their
own servers for fellow students to join. Hubs are not affiliated with or managed
by a school or school staff. Servers in a Hub are student-run but may include
non-students. For more information on Student Hubs, please check out our Student
Hubs FAQs.




WHY PEOPLE LOVE DISCORD

Below, you can see just a few of our favorite stories about what people are
doing on Discord and why they love it. You can find even more stories about how
people use Discord right here.

Cyndie, a parent of two from North Carolina, reflects on how her family uses
Discord:

“There are four of us and we all have Discord installed on both our computers
and phones. My oldest son is in an apartment, and the younger one is on campus,
so we use Discord to make family plans. Everything gets dropped into that
server. From dinner’s ready to internships and job offers. Usually it’s the
silly, stupid stuff we just drop in that makes us all laugh, like when there’s a
Weird Al question on Jeopardy. I can’t imagine life without it.”

Genavieve, a high-school student from California, talks about how her classes
use Discord:

"I've been using Discord for the last two years as my main communication with my
friends. We had too many people in our group chat and wanted a platform where we
could all communicate with each other. Discord is a great way for a friend group
of thirty people to stay in touch! Also, with distance learning in place, I’ve
started using it with my AP Physics class too. It's been so important to feel
connected to our teachers and each other when we are so isolated and in such a
difficult class. Using Discord brought us closer together as a class — we are
already a small class of 22 students, so being able to joke around and send
memes helps us not feel so alone during the distance learning. The different
channels and @mentions make it much easier to keep information straight.
Screenshare makes it even easier, so we can show each other documents or
problems we are working on to get feedback or troubleshooting advice.”

David, a physics and math tutor from New Jersey, talks about how he teaches
students and connects with other teachers over Discord:

"I use Discord to tutor one of my students and to stay up to date with
conversations and announcements in a group of physics teachers interested in
physics education research. It's nice to see a side-by-side camera view of my
desk with the student's work. I also really like that the audio through the OPUS
codec which sounds very clean."
