Group Chats & Communities

From a quick group DM to a full community with channels, roles and permissions.

There are two ways to chat with multiple people, depending on how serious the group is.

Group DMs - quick and casual

Start a group direct message from your DM list by adding multiple friends. Perfect for weekend plans. You can rename the group anytime, and everyone can see who's in it.

Communities - the full structure

For clubs, teams, friend groups and anything that lasts, create a community (server). Communities have their own channels:

  • Text channels - organized topics, unlimited channels
  • Voice channels - drop-in talk rooms with camera and screen sharing
  • Photo channels - a shared camera roll
  • Suggestions channels - members post ideas, everyone votes them up or down

As the owner you manage roles and permissions (who can post where, who can moderate), create invite links (optionally restricted to a specific email domain - great for companies), and even share ownership with co-owners. Public communities can be discovered in the server browser.

Games live here too. Every community and DM has a game button - see Playing games.
