You heard right. We just released voice chat functionality on Discord’s iOS and Android apps! You’re gonna want to update your app or visit the App Store/Google Play Store to download it right now.

Unlike some other mobile apps out there -cough- -cough- -TeamSpeak- Discord is completely free. Sorry, must have had something irritating my throat there.

Voice chat on mobile is perfect for those of you in an FFXIV Free Company with both PC and PS4 players. You can now voice chat across platforms and no one will feel left out.

We think it’s gonna be great for hanging out with people while playing mobile games like Clash of Clans too.

Try it out and let us know what you think.

Connect to a Voice Channel

Tapping a voice channel will bring up a prompt asking if you want to connect. After confirming, you can see at the bottom of the screen the channel you are connected to as well as disconnect or access your voice settings.

Push-to-Talk

You can even use Push-to-Talk! In the voice settings you can set whether you want to use PTT or Voice Activity Detection. With PTT enabled your mic will only transmit while your finger is pressed on the PTT button at the bottom of the screen.

Voice Settings

From the voice settings menu you can choose whether to use PTT or VAD, adjust your VAD sensitivity, raise or lower your output volume, and even optimize your audio quality with the voice processing toggles.

Of course, the thing you really want to do is try it out for yourself. What are you sitting here for? Go get it!
