Discord is an instant messaging and VoIP social platform that allows communication through voice calls, video calls, text messaging, and media. Communication can be private or in virtual communities called "servers".[note 2] A server is a collection of persistent chat rooms and voice channels accessed by invitation links. Discord runs on Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, iPadOS, Linux, and in web browsers.

As of 2024, Discord has about 150 million monthly active users and 19 million weekly active servers.[10] It is primarily used by gamers, although the share of users interested in other topics is growing.[11] As of March 2024, Discord is the 30th most visited website in the world, and 22.98% of its traffic comes from the United States.[12][13] In March 2022, Discord employed 600 people globally.[14]
History

Discord was conceived by Jason Citron, who founded OpenFeint, a social gaming platform for mobile games,[15] and Stanislav Vishnevskiy, who founded Guildwork, another social gaming platform. Citron sold OpenFeint to GREE in 2011 for US$104 million,[16] which he used to found Hammer & Chisel, a game development studio, in 2012.[17] Their first product was Fates Forever, released in 2014, which Citron anticipated to be the first multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game on mobile platforms, but it was not commercially successful.[18]

According to Citron, during the development process, he noticed how difficult it was for his team to work out tactics in games like Final Fantasy XIV and League of Legends using available voice over IP (VoIP) software. This led to the development of a chat service with a focus on user friendliness with minimal impact on performance.[18] The name Discord was chosen because it "sounds cool and has to do with talking", was easy to say, spell, remember, and was available for trademark and website. In addition, "Discord in the gaming community" was the problem they wished to solve.[19]

To develop Discord, Hammer & Chisel gained additional funding from YouWeb's 9+ incubator, which had also funded the startup of Hammer & Chisel, and from Benchmark capital and Tencent.[17][20]
