Super Reactions

Rolling out on desktop starting today, Super Reactions bring an extra burst of energy and spirit to hype up chat when you need it the most. It’s a visual representation of the sheer excitement that using an emoji to react brings to the table, presented in a way that a normal static emoji, or even animated emoji, just can’t offer.

Nitro subscribers will receive 5 Super Reactions per week on server messages of their choosing, while Nitro Basic or Nitro Classic subscribers will receive 2 Super Reactions per week.

Everyone will be receiving 2 Super Reactions to get started, even if you don’t have Nitro yet! Peruse the recent announcement blog for all the important info, such as about how often Nitro subscribers can Super React and how you can use ‘em in your own communities. 

Themes

A few short weeks ago, we released 16 unique themes for Nitro subscribers to bring their vibe to Discord. Today, we're releasing an additional 5 themes for subscribers, bringing them even more vibes to their views.

Soundboard

Today, in an ensemble of duck quacks, trumpets, and air horns that go BRR BRBRBRRRR, we’re introducing Soundboard: a new way to react in Voice channels with sounds curated by your community.

Upload the sounds you want to your server’s soundpack, and your fellow community members can use them within a Voice call. Plus, Nitro subscribers can use soundpacks across servers, just like they can with emojis and stickers.

Soundboard will be rolling out over the coming weeks, take a peek at its announcement blog to learn how it works!

New Limited Time Avatar Decorations

Add extra flair to your profile icon with a new set of limited time Avatar Decorations. Put on some flourishing flowers, a mushroom cap, or give yourself a forehead froggy!

These Avatar Decorations will be available for Nitro subscribers to add to their profile icons until May 10th, so head over to User Settings > Profiles and plop a puppy on your profile while you can.
