So, what can I do with Discord?

We created Discord to bring people together around games.
 You’ve taught us that it can be used for so much more.

Here are some helpful templates and bits of inspiration to get you and your communities started.

Local Communities

Discord helps us keep our community tight-knit and well-organized across several classes and dance projects, while also providing a safe space for dancers of all ages to share their love of K-Pop.

K-Pop-Up SF

We’re a non profit social group for LGBT+ gamers in London/UK. We’ve replaced all real life meet-ups with Discord events. Virtual parties and socials.

I’ve been trying to share new Discord servers being set up by local game stores, board game and Magic: The Gathering groups across the world so that our community members can connect for social activities :)

How to move an entire YouTube/podcast business with at least two live shows a day... Discord was the answer, and I can't get over how easy it was. Every one of our shows is produced using Discord because of its near-zero latency, ease of use, and video quality.

@GameOverGreggy

The Princeton Public Library announces the launch of its Wandering Book Club, a dedicated space where people in the greater Princeton area in their 20s and 30s can share and discuss books and other media.

@PrincetonPL

Discord makes it easy to host a community of fellow artists. Sharing our artwork and works-in-progress with each other as a group and being able to receive direct feedback is invaluable.

Global Communities

We’ve been having meetings, building communities, and even attending digital conventions... Discord has changed the internet.

@lantanagames

Helping 150+ teachers from different schools learn the ropes together of suddenly working from home.

@ChrisDeLeon

We use Discord as the official chat group for Chris Gethard Presents, a New York City-based comedy program with fans from all over the World. We have about 900 people in our Discord and have a 24-hour open voice chat that has kept people entertained while we're stuck at home.

And the people close to home

Make a home, have fun, and hang out.

I made a Discord group for just my family and my mom has been using it to share her Pokémon Go catches.

@MissFushiGaming

Two of my best friends had to cancel their wedding and get married in private because of the virus, so we’re using Discord tomorrow night to have a virtual after-party for them. Thanks Discord! <3

@ocain01

From dinner’s ready to internships and job offers. Usually it’s the silly, stupid stuff we just drop in the channel that makes us all laugh, like when there’s a Weird Al question on Jeopardy.

Cyndie Dyer

My friend and I do homework together using the screen share and voice chat.

Our Game Development students have been using Discord to share their ideas this week. It’s great to see students interacting and supporting each other!

@COLCollege

I have been leading a video call circuit training workout class using Discord!

@NickGottschlich

We actually gathered our whole group (~24 undergrads) + teachers and are using it to communicate with them and do some lessons with the Go Live feature.

Or just hang out, however you do it.

Wave hello, share your screen, or just chat.

Been using it to chat with friends during the small breaks of online classes and using it to stay in touch with everyone!

@oh_ms.belover

Live-streaming pen and paper sessions with friends all around the country. Thank you Discord <3

Reading stories and playing music for friends! Also Jackbox. It’s the best way I have to keep in touch with my community in times like these or any other.

@ballistic_florist

I’ve been doing live-streams of my art to my friends and it makes me feel more connected than ever.
