Group chat that feels like home

Chat, voice and encrypted DMs with your friends. Every feature is free.

You need an invite link from someone already here to create an account.

The app you already know

Servers, channels, threads, DMs, voice and video, in the client you're used to. Open it in any recent browser on your computer or phone, with nothing to install.

Hang out in voice whenever

Drop into a voice channel when you're free. Talk, share your screen, turn on your camera or just keep each other company while you play.

Your DMs stay yours

Direct messages and group DMs are end-to-end encrypted in your browser before they're sent, so the server only ever stores ciphertext.

Every perk, free for everyone

Every account gets every premium feature and every server is at the highest boost level. There's nothing to buy, no ads and no upsells.

Questions

What is Discord?

Discord is a chat service with servers, channels, DMs, voice and video. It runs on Discord, a self-hosted server that speaks the same protocol as Discord, so the app in your browser looks and works the way you'd expect.

Is this Discord?

No. Discord isn't made by or affiliated with Discord Inc. It's its own service with its own accounts. Your Discord account doesn't work here, and nothing you post here is sent to Discord.

How do I join?

Ask someone who already has an account for an invite link, then open it to create yours. Accounts created without an invite are turned away.

Does anything cost money?

No. Every account gets every premium feature, every server is at the highest boost level, and every item in the shop is free. There's nothing to buy and no ads.

Who can read my messages?

Direct messages and group DMs are end-to-end encrypted. Your browser encrypts them before they leave your device, so the server only stores ciphertext it can't read. Messages in server channels aren't end-to-end encrypted, and the people who run Discord can access them.

Is there a desktop or mobile app?

Discord runs in any recent desktop or mobile browser, so there's nothing to install. Bookmark this page or add it to your home screen to open it like an app.

Who runs Discord?

Discord is run independently by its own operators. Read the terms, the privacy policy and the community guidelines before you join.
