Account Linking and a Game Invite for League of Legends in Discord.

Getting Chatty with Unity and Riot

Making it easier than ever to connect with friends in League & VAL

See how Riot integrated Discord-powered social features directly into League of Legends and VALORANT. Players can invite Discord friends straight to their party (no alt-tabbing needed), copy a lobby link and share it directly in their favorite server, and easily see which of their Discord friends play Riot’s games.

Social SDK 1.9: Krisp Noise Cancelling Added for Unity and Unreal

Already available for PC and Mobile in the Social SDK 1.9 release, the Krisp noise cancellation for Discord VCs is now included in Unity and Unreal plugin packages for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS as of 1.9.17228.

Enable it so your players can hear their raid leader yelling at them to stay out of the fire, instead of someone eating chips directly into the mic.
