Discord is probably the most popular chat and streaming app today that allows for an invite-only place to chat, game and movie streaming, and topic-based Discord channel collaboration along with custom Discord bots and tools. The low-latency voice and video offered by Discord feels like you’re in the same room with your friends.
Unlike popular chatting apps like WhatsApp and Slack, Discord comes with much more features customized according to your need. It’s most loved by gamers who wish to stream and chat with their fans using different Discord bots.
To make a Discord account, download the app on your preferred device; computer, laptop, or mobile. If you aren’t comfortable downloading a standalone app, you can use Discord straight in a web browser.
You’d need to create a free account using your email address to start accessing Discord. Once confirmed, you can start making different Discord servers and join channels and communities to begin chatting and streaming content.

You virtually own the servers; hence you can create rules to let the new members know what is allowed and what isn’t.
Try some useful bots after a successful registration.
