Discord, not ZOOM.

     I use a gamer communication app called Discord. You create an account that can go into any server you get linked to. The first picture I will use shows two things. The left chat displays all the servers I am apart of. The right displays all the chatrooms for that server. The channels use hashtag feature. There also chat channels if you need them. The circles on the left are all the servers I have joined. The small blip means there are new messages in that server that I haven't read yet. Each channel follows certain rules for most discord channels. For instance #gamertags isn't for chatting. Its just a directory for gamer tags.

Chat rooms look like this. You can see someone getting tagged which notifies the person mentioned. Slowmode is enabled so there wont be much spam. This channel happens to be #formal, so its a place for formalities. All team related stuff is posted in this channel. The user names are just for this server. For instance, my account has its own name that I can give nick names for each discord server I am on. This is great for privacy and trying to keep a coherent username to each theme of the discord. 

 If you pay for nitro plus you can share emojis from other servers. Some people will just join a server for its emojis. These are usually graphic designer based discords that are popular.

This is the account profile page. It has options like two factor authentication, notifications, text and images. Along the bottom is (discord aka servers), friend and private messages, search, mentions, and your profile. You can subscribe to Discord nitro, and boost servers. Boosting servers allows the members to use more bandwith with graphics, streams, icons etc.  Its great option for the servers that want to build a community and invest in options.

 

This is my favorite app, and lets me get in touch with people from all around the world. Thank you for reading.

 

Apparently it isn't just my favorite app. Microsoft is in talks to buy the company out for $10bln. Microsoft is my favorite company so I am ok with it. I think Discord has the best layout for gamers and it is fun to use. It makes the world a little bit smaller.
