Discord is an American instant messaging and VoIP social platform that allows communication through voice calls, video calls, text messaging, and media. Communication can be private or in virtual communities called "servers". A server is a collection of persistent chat rooms and voice channels accessed by invitation links. Discord runs on Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, iPadOS, Linux, and in web browsers.

As of 2025, Discord has 200 million monthly active users and as of 2024, 19 million weekly active servers. It is primarily used by gamers, but the share of users interested in other topics is growing. As of July 2026, Discord is the 46th most visited website in the world according to Similarweb.
