Discord starts rolling out video chat, screen share

Yeah I heard that was possible. But I was wondering if it was possible to do video podcasts and have it record the file.
Sadly, no. And because of:
Along with VPN's they appear to have gained another tool to cover their tracks. I mean, yeah Skype is spotty, but at least it establishes a P2P connection that law enforcement can actually act upon.
Awesome. I'm really tempted to start paying for Discord.
P2P also makes law abiding users vulnerable. Find another way to deal with pedophiles.

Nope since Lync&Skype For Business are intertwined with the office suite.
The rug can only hold so much under it before it begins to seep out the sides.
You can easily report pedophiles on discord if you have proof of it or know someone who had been a part of it. Just get the exact id's of the messages, and the channels it came from and email abuse@discordapp.com.
so they have VC money, which obviously won't last forever
they also sell optional cosmetic items and a $5/mo nitro sub which seems to be less about the perks and more about supporting discord.
they have to be bleeding money like crazy, and they can't be getting that much revenue from the cosmetics/nitro. wonder what will happen with them
It's a pretty common business practice to run at a loss (using mostly investor funds) for a while to get a large customer base, and then start monetizing. It's what Facebook did, and no one can accuse it of losing money now.

P2P dismissed in favour of servers? This sounds expensive. I have seen rest of dosh discussion in the thread and it doesn't sound convincing long-term. I hope what they come up with for profits isn't terrible.

Only a small portion of users are getting this right now, the rest are a good month away still.

This may sound selfish, but I'd rather not give up my privacy - or the privacy of others - because some people might use a platform inappropriately.
There should be some oversight/better ways to report things, but not at the cost of everyone's privacy.
They already have Turbo
microsoft shouldn't have turned skype into a pile of shit if they really cared about not giving up their spot to competition
they say
which doesn't mean ads are out of the question, but if they aren't going to do ads at all then how are they going to make money? sell people's data?
It actually ran really well on my ancient computer before Microsoft bought it. Afterwards it got worse with every single update. Now it barely runs on my PC with an SSD and a Core i7-4790k lmao.

Wonder if we'll get to a point where every 100 posts or 6 hours an ad will get stickied in chat, or before a video call a 15 second ad gets played.
IDK where else you could stuff ads into the service.

Are there news stories or something about this? I've never heard of it though I always felt Discord felt a bit weird and skeezy with the meme startup lines.
Yeah there is a dice bot. You can specify the dice type and roll. Can be added to any server.

Bot functionality with Discord is godlike, it's crazy. If you can think it, someone's probably come up with a bot for it.
Yeah, the bots are great. I could probably whip up a dice bot (but I'm sure there are at least 10 bots with dice functionality already)
I hate to say it, but I think this might be a bingo. Data's where the money at.
