Discord first launched in 2015 and is designed to help gamers create communities and chat with each other while playing video games. It has now grown to be used for a wide range of purposes outside of gaming, encompassing communities as diverse as art, music, education, and more. Discord runs on Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, iPadOS, Linux, and web browsers, so you can use Discord on almost any device.
