Discord, founded in 2015, is a communications platform that enables communities to connect through voice, video, and text. Its core product supports interactions ranging from small friend groups to large, organized communities, serving over 200 million monthly active users.
The platform's technical domains include voice chat, video streaming, text communication, and platform integration. While its origins are rooted in gaming - with more than 90% of its users playing games and 1.9 billion monthly gaming hours on the platform - Discord operates within the broader social communications and online communities verticals. Its stated mission is to create the best place for people to hang out online.
