Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S now support Discord voice chat

Discord audio chat is now available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.

On all Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S consoles, Discord audio chats are now available following an Insider beta test that started in July. Users of Discord on Xbox, PC, and mobile devices can join the same voice channels thanks to the integration. To get started, you must first link your Xbox and Discord accounts. You'll need to repeat this step if you already performed it to grant your Discord contacts access to your Gamertag because the integration needs the new voice permissions. The challenging portion follows after that.

When you use Discord on Xbox, the voice conversation and you are transferred from the platform to the console. As a result, joining a call directly from an Xbox is not possible. Instead, you'll need to start your talks on a desktop or mobile device, then transfer the call using the Discord and Xbox apps. After linking your accounts, Discord will add a new "Join on Xbox" button that you can use to start the process. When you tap the button, the Xbox app for your phone will launch and ask you on which console you want to continue your chat.

Although the implementation is not the most user-friendly, it might get better with time. Regarding the integration, Discord said, "We look forward to continuing our partnership to build even richer, more significant experiences for your friends and communities. In agreement, Microsoft expressed its eagerness "to deliver more Discord experiences on Xbox in the future."
