If you are a gamer, a streamer, a podcaster, or just someone who likes to chat online, you have probably heard of Discord. Discord is a free app with voice and text features that lets you make or join servers for many topics and communities, just like old forums but with more functionality.
You can use it to chat with strangers mostly, join voice channels with weird accents, share memes, weird gifs, strange videos, and more. It is also a great platform for hosting events that no one participates in most of the time, such as game nights, watch parties and book clubs etc.
But how do you get started? How do you download it, login to it, and sign up for it?
We will show you how to download Discord for your device, how to login to your existing account or create a new one, and how to join or create servers that suit your interests. By the end of this article, you will be a Discord pro who can chat with anyone online.
