About Discord
Discord is a voice, video, and text platform that helps friends come together to hang out, play games and have fun. When Jason Citron and Stanislav Vishnevskiy founded Discord in 2015, they had a hunch that multiplayer gaming would be the future of entertainment and that people would need a communications platform designed for them to talk with their gaming friends. Today, gaming has become the largest form of entertainment in the world, bigger than movies and music combined. It’s the fastest growing as well.
Discord is used by over 200 million people every month for many different reasons, but there’s one thing that nearly everyone does on their platform: play video games. Over 90% of Discord’s users play games, spending a combined 1.5 billion hours playing thousands of unique titles on Discord each month.
