In addition, "Discord in the gaming community" was the problem they wished to solve.<a href="#cite_note-19">[17]</a> To develop Discord, Hammer & Chisel gained additional funding from YouWeb's 9+ <a href="/wiki/Business_incubator" title="Business incubator">incubator</a>, which had also funded the startup of Hammer & Chisel, and from <a href="/wiki/Benchmark_(venture_capital_firm)" title="Benchmark (venture capital firm)">Benchmark capital</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tencent" title="Tencent">Tencent</a>.<a href="#cite_note-vb_2015_funding-17">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-interview-20">[18]</a> Discord was publicly released in May 2015 under the <a href="/wiki/Domain_name" title="Domain name">domain name</a> discordapp.com.<a href="#cite_note-pcg-21">[19]</a> According to Citron, they made no specific moves to target any specific audience, but some gaming-related <a href="/wiki/Reddit" title="Reddit">subreddits</a> quickly began to replace their <a href="/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat" class="mw-redirect" title="Internet Relay Chat">IRC</a> links with Discord links.<a href="#cite_note-glixel-22">[20]</a> Discord became widely used by esports and LAN tournament gamers.

The round was led by Greenoaks Capital with participation from Firstmark, Tencent, IVP, <a href="/wiki/Index_Ventures" title="Index Ventures">Index Ventures</a> and Technology Opportunity Partners.<a href="#cite_note-28">[26]</a> Starting in June 2020, Discord announced it was shifting focus away from video gaming specifically to a more all-purpose communication and chat client for all functions, revealing its new slogan "Your place to talk", along with a revised website. Among other planned changes was to reduce the number of gaming <a href="/wiki/In-joke" title="In-joke">in-jokes</a> it used within the client, improving the user onboarding experience, and increasing server capacity and reliability. The company announced it had received an additional $100 million in investments to help with these changes.<a href="#cite_note-verge_june2020-29">[27]</a> In March 2021, Discord announced it had hired its first <a href="/wiki/Chief_financial_officer" title="Chief financial officer">finance chief</a>, former head of finance for <a href="/wiki/Pinterest" title="Pinterest">Pinterest</a> Tomasz Marcinkowski.

They also changed its slogan from "your place to talk", to "imagine a place", believing that it would be easier to attach to additional taglines; these changes were met with backlash and criticism from Discord users.<a href="#cite_note-38">[36]</a> In July 2021, Discord acquired Sentropy, an internet moderation company.<a href="#cite_note-39">[37]</a> Ahead of a funding round in August 2021, Discord had reported $130 million in 2020 revenues, triple from the prior year, and had an estimated valuation of $15 billion. According to Citron, the increased valuation was due to the shift away from "broadcast wide-open social media communication services to more small, intimate places", as well as increased usage from the <a href="/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic" title="COVID-19 pandemic">COVID-19 pandemic</a>.

Two weeks later, Discord partnered with YouTube to test a "Watch Together" feature, which allows Discord users to watch YouTube videos together.<a href="#cite_note-43">[41]</a> Citron posted mockup images of Discord around the proposed <a href="/wiki/Web3" title="Web3">Web3</a> principles with integrated <a href="/wiki/Cryptocurrency" title="Cryptocurrency">cryptocurrency</a> and <a href="/wiki/Non-fungible_token" title="Non-fungible token">non-fungible token</a> support in November 2021, leading to criticism from its user base.

Although they are referred to as servers on the front end, they are called "guilds" in the developer documentation, to distinguish themselves from actual servers.<a href="#cite_note-54">[52]</a> Users can create servers for free, manage their public visibility, and create voice channels, text channels, and categories to sort the channels into.<a href="#cite_note-PCMAG-53">[51]</a> Most servers have a limit of 250,000 members, but this limit can be raised if the server owner contacts Discord.<a href="#cite_note-55">[53]</a> Users can also create roles and assign them to server members. Roles can, among other things, determine which channels users have access to, change users’ colors, and designate a server's moderation team. The previously largest known Discord server was Snowsgiving 2021, an official Discord-controlled server made for the 2021 winter holiday season. This server reached 1 million members.<a href="#cite_note-56">[54]</a> In 2023, the server for <a href="/wiki/Midjourney" title="Midjourney">Midjourney</a> reached over 15 million members, making it the largest server on Discord.<a href="#cite_note-57">[55]</a> Starting October 2017, Discord allows game developers and publishers to verify their servers. Verified servers, like <a href="/wiki/Account_verification" title="Account verification">verified accounts</a> on social media sites, have badges to mark them as official communities. A verified server is moderated by its developers' or publishers' own moderation team. Verification was later extended in February 2018 to include <a href="/wiki/Esports" title="Esports">esports</a> teams and musical artists.<a href="#cite_note-58">[56]</a><a href="#cite_note-59">[57]</a><a href="#cite_note-60">[58]</a> By the end of 2017, about 450 servers were verified.<a href="#cite_note-glixel_2017-61">[59]</a> In 2023, Discord paused their verification program while they performed maintenance. The program has not been reopened as of September 2024.<a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Discord&action=edit">[update]</a><a href="#cite_note-62">[60]</a>[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NOTRS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NOTRS">better source needed</a>] <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Channel_types">Channel types</h3></div> Channels may be used either for voice chat and streaming or for <a href="/wiki/Instant_messaging" title="Instant messaging">instant messaging</a> and file sharing, or both. Discord launched Stage Channels in May 2021, a feature similar to <a href="/wiki/Clubhouse_(app)" title="Clubhouse (app)">Clubhouse</a> which allows for live, moderated channels, for audio talks, discussions, and other uses, which can further be potentially gated to only invited or ticketed users. Initially, users could search for open Stage Channels relevant to their interests through a Stage Discovery tool, which was discontinued in October 2021.<a href="#cite_note-63">[61]</a><a href="#cite_note-64">[62]</a> In August 2021, Discord launched Threads, which are temporary text channels that can be set to automatically disappear. This is meant to help foster more communication within servers.<a href="#cite_note-65">[63]</a> Forum Channels, which allow for longer and separate conversations were introduced to the platform in September 2022. These channels bring an <a href="/wiki/Internet_forum" title="Internet forum">Internet forum</a> experience to Discord.<a href="#cite_note-66">[64]</a> Discord launched Media Channels in June 2023. Media Channels are restricted to videos and images only.<a href="#cite_note-67">[65]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="User_profiles">User profiles</h3></div> Users register for Discord with an email address and must create a username. Until mid-2023, to allow multiple users to use the same username, each user was assigned a four-digit number called a "discriminator" (colloquially a "Discord tag"), prefixed with "<a href="/wiki/Number_sign" title="Number sign">#</a>", which was added to the end of their username.<a href="#cite_note-68">[66]</a> Users who subscribed to Discord Nitro had the ability to change this tag to any four-digit number. This system was ultimately changed to a handle-based system in May 2023, removing the discriminator from usernames.<a href="#cite_note-69">[67]</a> This new system mandated a change of username. Users selected their new usernames in priority based on how early they registered for Discord, Nitro status, and ownership of partner and verified servers.<a href="#cite_note-70">[68]</a> Users criticized the possible impersonation risk that may arise if their previous username was claimed by another user.<a href="#cite_note-71">[69]</a> In June 2021, Discord added a feature that allows the user to add an about me section to their profile, as well as a custom colored banner at the top of their profile. Subscribers to Discord Nitro have the added ability to upload static or animated images as their banners instead of solid colors.<a href="#cite_note-:5-72">[70]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Video_calls_and_streaming">Video calls and streaming</h3></div> Video calling and <a href="/wiki/Remote_desktop_software" title="Remote desktop software">screen sharing</a> were added in October 2017, allowing users to create private video calls with up to 10 users,<a href="#cite_note-73">[71]</a> later increased to 50 due to the increased popularity of video calling during the COVID-19 pandemic.<a href="#cite_note-74">[72]</a> In August 2019, this was expanded with live streaming channels in servers. A user can share their entire screen, or a specific application, and others in that channel can choose to watch the stream. While these features somewhat mimic the <a href="/wiki/Livestreaming" class="mw-redirect" title="Livestreaming">livestreaming</a> capabilities of platforms like <a href="/wiki/Twitch_(service)" title="Twitch (service)">Twitch</a>, the company does not plan to compete with these services, as these features were made for small groups.<a href="#cite_note-glixel_2017-61">[59]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Digital_distribution">Digital distribution</h3></div> In August 2018, Discord launched a <a href="/wiki/Digital_distribution_in_video_games" class="mw-redirect" title="Digital distribution in video games">games storefront</a> beta, allowing users to purchase a curated set of games through the service.<a href="#cite_note-75">[73]</a> This will include a "First on Discord" featured set of games that their developers attest to Discord's help in getting launched, giving these games 90 days of exclusivity on the Discord marketplace. Discord Nitro subscribers will also gain access to a rotating set of games as part of their subscription, with the price of Nitro being bumped from $4.99 to $9.99 a month.<a href="#cite_note-:0-76">[74]</a><a href="#cite_note-77">[75]</a> A cheaper service called 'Nitro Classic' was also released that has the same perks as Nitro but does not include free games. Following the launch of the <a href="/wiki/Epic_Games_Store" title="Epic Games Store">Epic Games Store</a>, which challenged <a href="/wiki/Valve_Corporation" title="Valve Corporation">Valve</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Steam_(service)" title="Steam (service)">Steam</a> storefront by only taking a 12% cut of game revenue, Discord announced in December 2018 that it would reduce its own revenue cut to 10%.<a href="#cite_note-78">[76]</a> To further support developers, starting in March 2019 Discord gave the ability for developers and publishers that ran their own servers to offer their games through a dedicated store channel on their server, with Discord managing the payment processing and distribution. This can be used, for example, to give select users access to alpha- and beta-builds of a game in progress as an <a href="/wiki/Early_access" title="Early access">early access</a> alternative.<a href="#cite_note-79">[77]</a> Also in March 2019, Discord removed the digital storefront, instead choosing to focus on the Nitro subscription and having direct sales be done through developer's own servers.<a href="#cite_note-80">[78]</a> In September 2019, Discord announced that it was ending its free game service in October 2019 as they found too few people were playing the games offered.<a href="#cite_note-:3-81">[79]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Developer_tools_and_bots">Developer tools and bots</h3></div> In December 2016, the company introduced its GameBridge <a href="/wiki/API" title="API">API</a>, which allows game developers to directly integrate with Discord within games.<a href="#cite_note-gamebridge-82">[80]</a> In December 2017, Discord added a <a href="/wiki/Software_development_kit" title="Software development kit">software development kit</a> that allows developers to integrate their games with the service, called "rich presence". This integration is commonly used to allow players to join each other's games through Discord or to display information about a player's game progression in their Discord profile.<a href="#cite_note-83">[81]</a> Bots are community-made tools to automate tasks. When installed by server owners, they may aid in moderation, host mini games, and perform myriad of other automated tasks. As of 2021,<a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Discord&action=edit">[update]</a> there are around 430,000 total bots active in estimated 30% of all servers. Discord provides official bot APIs which allow custom elements such as dropdowns and buttons. In spring 2022, Discord released an official "app directory" where server owners can add bots to their servers in-Discord. <a href="/wiki/The_Verge" title="The Verge">The Verge</a> described bots as an "important part of Discord".<a href="#cite_note-84">[82]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Unofficial_extensions">Unofficial extensions</h3></div> Although Discord disallows modifications,<a href="#cite_note-discord-no-85">[83]</a> many unofficial extensions have been created. BetterDiscord, for example, is an <a href="/wiki/Open-source_software" title="Open-source software">open-source</a> desktop modification that allows various plugins to be installed.
