Although it is a widely used service, Skype still has some shortcomings, especially when it comes to the needs of online gamers. If you want something more convenient, that doesn't impact your computer's performance, then Discord is something that may interest you. It provides a high quality VoIP functionality, which is tailored specifically to people who play games online and need to communicate constantly.

Discord is offered completely free of charge, with no hidden fees or restrictions. Downloading and installing the software is not a challenging task and it shouldn't take long to complete. Its hardware requirements are modest, so you can run it on any modern-day computer.

Getting used to Discord's user interface and its controls should be quite easy, even for inexperienced users. You can start adding people to your contacts list right away, just by typing their email addresses in an input field. The software sorts your contacts automatically, so you can find online people, pending friend requests and blocked contacts easier.

You may communicate through short text message, which are stored and organized automatically, but the main way to communicate is with a microphone. When using a microphone, you can opt for a push-to-talk functionality, which means that you have to press a key when you wish to speak. Alternatively, you can set the application to activate your microphone automatically when it detects your voice.

One of Discord's key advantages is the fact that it lets you create or join as many servers as you want, without paying a dime. You may create a server just by specifying its name and region and use it forever for free. Other people can be invited through a share link, which is generated automatically. What's more, you can set up various rules and permissions for individual users.

When it comes to communicating with team mates in an online game, Discord can meet all your needs.

Pros

You can create or join any number of servers for free. The software can activate your microphone automatically when it hears you speak. Its controls are well organized and easy to learn.

Cons

There are no obvious drawbacks to mention.
