The company I work for now uses discord for business. We ditched Slack in favor of it because it's easy to implement everything we need without having to pay subscriptions.
We're even using a custom CDN to avoid having our files ending up on Discord's servers. We have a custom bot with Jira integrations and we're not stopping here.
It's just better than anything else out there.
@@aymanpatel5862 I think they don't have a problem if discord died. They must have backed up their files and the program is less likely to suddenly die. Discord has nitro subscription too. So more chance it will continue.
@@aymanpatel5862 We do care for discord. We have nitro and support our own server. We're just glad we don't have to pay for some features and all the integrations like we do with slack. We just made them ourselves.
wow thats actually really smart and cool af
IRC still better.
@@AlexanderVonMalachi how is IRC still better?
Either have microsoft buy the intellectual property and branding but keep the dev team and give them free reign or go public
If they go public they're going to be pressured by out of touch investors to just implement predatory monetization tactics ruining the whole platform, and Microsoft just does not know how not to kill an application that everyone likes. It's not looking great for Discord.
@@Lambda_Ovine
just like how we all complain about what Google does with all their Products. design by Committee...........
Public Digital Services is mega yikes.
Public would be worst than a microsoft buyout IMO. If they went public investors would push them to make discord available only with paid subscription, and to serve ads. Can you imagine being in voice chat in a tense game moment and a it cuts off voice chat to play a fucking radio ad?
dude f the furry devs
@@Lambda_Ovine i’m so happy i’m still finding roach doggs across this platform this long after zach’s request
I mean, I'd rather huge corps not keep buying up fucking everything.
But why? Most companies that get bought wouldn't even gotten so big without the acquisition or would have straight up died without it.
@@oliverrepp131 in the case of microsoft, well, they keep buying chat software, fucking it to hell andmake it terrible and then killing them
Unfortunately they basically have no stopping point to what companies can buy up. The governments certainly don't care. Especially if they get a slice of the pie. Heck, many social media sites right now are government subsidized (aka not really private corporations) and they use the sites to monitor people.
id rather startups actually grew a fucking pair instead of startup and sell out
@@Madchris8828 Citation needed on government subsidized lmfao. Huge difference between tax evasion and subsidization
Once Microsoft takes over Discord it'll be profitable from all the ads Microsoft will throw on it, I mean Microsoft put ads on SOLITAIRE!!!
People will just mod it out. Discord desktop is just the web version wrapped with Electron (+ some desktop-only features).

I think in gamer communities you do not see it. But in discord finance channels, crypto channels, louis rossman, space channels, tesla, and also grower indoor grower type guy channels, lol, they have all used nitro monthly for sure on the discords I follow! Lots of nitro users, because people pay for the custom emojis!
No you see it more in gaming communities for sure. Idk what linus and Luke are on about. On top of many people having discord nitro many people also boost channels (especially gaming yt channels)
You can also boost servers, which increase its capabilities. Whenever you create a new free server, you don't get much bandwidth, and your maximum upload size is pretty small.
Go on an anime server, pretty much everyone has nitro to have their pfp blinking or whatever...
I was thinking about this a week ago. I remember my gf talking about how they had to use Zoom for her government job. I was like of all things? Zoom? Then I went on saying why not discord where you could literally create a whole office environment through servers. For example, people need to get into a private meeting so everyone moves into the conference room (server) where it's private, and only those who have access can enter. Then I thought, well people sell their business versions for whatever price is necessary. So, why not have a discord business version where it's the same discord but just sold to businesses and has all types of business features. I get the gamer look isn't appealing for all but it's relatively a clean look, simple to use, and that way discord could actually make some money to pay their team. I know businesses struggle with all kinds of software issues or employees having difficulty learning the software especially those who are not tech-savvy. So this could be a way to let discord get money but keep that simplicity we all know and love. Without Microsoft coming in and ruining it or sending it to the graveyard in hopes we use teams.
Would be pretty weird as all these features are already used in discors servers and removing it and putting it behind a pay wall is not logical as it would screw over 1000s of discord servers
Discord for Business would be Microsoft Teams, yet using Discord as the backend instead of Lync.
@@tux4 No, they could go for features that are normally implemented by bots for example or just very business specific features.
@@tux4 they wouldn’t even have to put it behind a paywall for average users they could just rebrand some parts of it and then if it’s being used for business (commercial) purpose it costs X amount of dollars to get a license for it and business get better server stability and some security features or something like that.
@@hekutokku sounds good to me
Discord was designed to bleed money at the cost of getting a shit ton of users so that it could be sold. The only way that I can see it becoming profitable is for Microsoft to try to use discord to compete with valve with the user base that discord gathered. If they can make it a one stop gaming coms, peer streaming and a digital game store/launcher and Microsoft doesn't fuck it up and abandon them like they did with msn messenger, skype and mixer.
They'll make it worse by far. They'll put ads, block features and resell them, and cause exponential bloat. If microsoft buys, they'll lose people regardless of the ease of use it has now. If you think they'll come in and make it better or leave it alone then by all means keep that dream alive
@@codyeakinsbradley How do you know they will fuck it up? Most certainly they will integrate it with the XBOX gaming ecosystem and will add new quality developers to the Discord team. And not all MS purchases turned out to be bad, for example LinkedIn and GitHub. Btw Discord want to sell themselves willingly. I think with recent purchases such as Zenimax studios and many more to come, MS want to go all in, in the Gaming industry and a communication platform for gaming was kind of the last step to complete.
@@abhishek2275 because of history.
@@codyeakinsbradley They could also learn from history and be better at managing acquisitions. Once again, GitHub and LinkedIn.
@@codyeakinsbradley history said a platform that bleeding money for users will die and going public will be as good as asking a parliament full of old corrupt people to run it.
At my university I have an enormous discord server for the club that I run, with a custom bot and everything. Discord is amazing, at has made life so much easier. I pay for Nitro not because I really need the features, though the 100mb upload is nice, it is more to support the company that does so far everything right.
compared to Skype for business and Zoom, the voicechat in discord (especially on boosted servers) is just godtier. Several people can actually accidentally speak at once without the whole thing crapping out and muting everyone, and the video+sound quality is so nice. Why are other streaming platform still so bad?
"Here at discord, we like to keep things professional"
Not at Discord next on Hershey professional East animal communication
if there was a competitor to discord that worked well, i would use it. unfortunately for me, there isn't. maybe microsoft will either gut all of the embarassing furry devs or kill the platform so someone makes something better. either way, its a win
After watching this: Damn, I need to think about the free privileges I have.
In the Holy Bible commentary blue
Oh, lots of people have Nitro, it's not a small insignificant number, those custom emotes and increased size uploads ARE worth it.
Id say only increased upload size is worth it and its the only useful perk tbh
I hardly use discord anymore. Only for d&d night with the boys. It’d be a massive waste of a monthly subscription
Discord should really just keep running their own company as opposed to being purchased and absorbed into a mega corp. Some diversity is nice and Discord is pretty nice as-is. Don't want to see some corp buy it up and immediately ruin it.
If I had to pick another company to own Discord... Valve? Definitely not Microsoft, Apple, Epic, Sony, or Nintendo.
valve would be the best.
why do you think Discord hasn't been selling anything of significance up until now? there was never a long term plan for the Service. it was purpose made to be sold.
@@taiiat0 don't they sell data lol
@@battlebuddy4517
nobody really knows. they might be.
Bad thing is that discord's probably going to get sold to someone. So it's not asking whether you want MS to own it, it's who you want to own it. And I wish I had an answer I hate less than MS.
In the best (and really far fetched case) Mozilla buys discord.
@@jassi151 i heard Mozilla is currently losing money (idk if they are still) so yea it's pretty unlikely
Sell discord? Microsoft doesn't sell crap they buy. They absorb and then kill. More than likely it will become Skype or Teams or become a "new" product that they screw up and then dies in a few years.
@@CelicaAutocrosser they don't kill everything they buy, like for example GitHub, Mojang/Minecraft, (maybe LinkedIn).
@@kcfivetwelve with their track record with communication services it's understandable why nobody wants them to buy it out
I'm about 90% sure that they're going to ruin it. I understand that they need to be profitable, and I would rather have to deal with ads then deal with an ownership change. Although, it's *possible* microsoft will just keep it as-is, and implement it into windows, and add features, but let's be honest, they've sucked with that every time they've done it. The only reason people even use windows is because of all the stuff you can download that works with it. Not because of the actual OS itself. Edge? Not good. Outlook? Not good. Microsoft products technically work well, but they have horrible design/front end developing. People just don't like using their products. If they stick their fingers too much in the discord design, people will want to stop using that too. The moment they do that, the software's toast.
doubt everyone doesnt like the software and products so nah
It’s not possible they keep it as-is. But I agree so much with the only reason everyone uses it is because it’s simply the biggest platform, you can download anything for windows, often many niche programs are free. I rather see windows die though. We need platforms focused on privacy and security to be the primary platforms.
This isn't Steve ballamer microsft. They just made over 14 billion In profit after acquiring batheada. They are doing just fine. They turned the Xbox around created gamespass that's catching on like wild fire
@@smok3sho587 you're not wrong, and honestly I'd rather have Microsoft own discord instead of Google, Cuz I can imagine having to watch an ad before joining a voice chat and ads would be way out of wack, talk about manscapped lawnmower 3.0 once and you'll be seeing ads about it in 15 seconds, Facebook cuz they know too much already or damn Idk tencent maybe
@@u563rick6 go to Linux then, if no one uses it people need to know what's good about it, doubt it'll ever over take Windows as even governments depend on it but it's a bigger possibility than apple os taking over

in germany we are not allowed to use Microsoft teams in our schools because of privacy..
now Microsoft is buying up discord..
that what made discord great was that it was independant of these cooperations.
Everything is subject to cooperate take over. And the comment section of this video seems to be mostly in favor. Seems stupid to me.
I guess it'll come to a cat and mause scenario where smaller independents are running and being used before found out by BigBoys Incorporated
Maybe in your bundesland, but here in bavaria in my school we use Teams.
I'm so worried about Microsoft actually getting it and letting it run into the ground like their past attempts. But I've got the same opinion as Luke. They entertain this offer and let the $10 billion number slip to strengthen the IPO. I hope that's the case
No, leave Discord alone.
Discord's in a position where they're losing a ton of money, and can right now at least choose who they wanna be bought by.
So what do you suggest? Discord chooses who they're bought by or once they go bankrupt, their assets sold off to anyone and Discord's service becomes an even bigger shitshow?
Id love discord to stay as they are, i use it DAILY, almost ALL day
We need the footage of linus playing tarkov now
I love how this turned into a conversation about tarkov lol. Great game and great screen streaming strat.
to be honest, the other day i was thinking about their storage, because i myself have a server with 2 bots, one with shopping deals (takes data from different websites or reddit), the other one with gifs. All of this is posted on channel every 1-2 mins, sometimes it's so much gifs that i don't even go back to watch them and it's all uploaded to their servers + database of data of course.
So the thing is, if microsoft buys it and requires us to use a microsoft account, I'm leaving the platform entirely.
Why? Okey i get that mc google fb and others take your personal info but isnt the new integration to games xbox and windows and lot of resorces outway a simple outlook account. I also think that mc broke skype but microsoft new accusations left the companys alone they were even more successful than before. Look at minecraft or xbox studios. Arent they successful.
Thought I was the only one. Look into Matrix as an alternative
@@Tintin-hh1gf They were successful because they weren't things that Microsoft could ruin in the process of integrating it as a Windows or Microsoft office/360 feature. Discord though? They will totally ruin that with disgusting integrations of all kinds.
@@Tintin-hh1gf For me it would be because I never use my microsoft account and I don't fucking remember the login info, haha. Whenever they try to make me login for something I basically have to do "I forgot my username" and "I forgot my password" every time.
@@AlexKiraly based
Having to use Teams for education, it actively makes me suffer. Discord would do everything Teams does and more. Not only that, but it would do even more.
@Ankit Meher discord is like reddit but for people who are aware, you need to actively try and find communities instead of just typing it in, and I mean if Microsoft did get discord they would market it and schools would prob pick it up and maybe add passwords and stuff to channels
We use Teams at my company and whenever we are just using Teams on our desktops/laptops it's actually really nice. Screen sharing and messaging is just super nice and works pretty much every time. The only thing that upsets me is these random disconnects. Teams will just stop working from time to time.
I would prefer Discord not get acquired, but if Microsoft eventually does, I do NOT want Microsoft accounts forced on me. But I would rather that over Amazon or Epic. If Discord goes without an acquisition or going public, I really hope Discord can come up with a plan for profitability and longitivity. There's nothing out there that does what Discord does.
Imagine you going to work and they suddenly switch to discord...how do you explain your boss your anime girl meme profile picture during the meeting? xD
On the other side of spectrum, your boss is having a headache trying to think an excuse to explain their anime meme profile picture.
I have this on Teams - my boss wouldn't expect less
No I don't want it to be owned by Microsoft because I know what they're going to do with it. They're going to merge it with other software that they own. they're not going to keep Skype and discord and Microsoft teams.
Mate you haven't even finished the video yet
I think they'd just abandon Skype when they acquire discord. They already replaced Skype kind of with teams and discord would be the last nail in it's coffin
With the number of people on the servers I frequent that have nitro, I'm pretty sure we at least somewhat break even for server costs.

Towards the end, someone brings up "What about ICQ" ICQ wasn't a competitor for MSN. MSN was the thing that showed up years after ICQ and had people deleting ICQ in droves.
ICQ was the granddaddy where the option was "Do we use IRC chat or ICQ". Then MSN, AIM, and Yahoo hit the stage at roughly the same time, and pretty much...killed...ICQ for casual users.
MSN was hands down the best, but yahoo and AIM were massively popular as well.

Ah yea.... The MSN... Those are the memories...Whoever I asked (that is my age) remembers it with a smile on their face
They should go public instead. I am pretty sure that will work out well for them and no one will be mad.
Me and a friend of mine did the same thing on discord to find each other on black desert while figuring out how to make a party
Why does video call/simultaneous streaming necessarily have big server costs? If the server isn't storing a vod or something why does it need to go through a server at all?
Maybe there's something I'm missing but can't discord style call be implemented via webrtc or something and basically not use server resources??
When your work chat goes down: that is what happens to teams all of the time. Teams goes out more than anything else we use.
I would want ANY company but Microsoft to own discord....
I mean look at the state of Skype and teams.....
Also I really don't think of discord as a "video streaming" service. I tbh. Consider it to be more like a chat with extra utilities to screenshare if you need help with something or just wanna show your friends something real quick, and video chat. But not actually for "livestreaming" like you would do on twitch and I don't feel it is correct to compare it up towards twitch
But these are just my personal opinions c:
Google? I'd rather die.
Amazon? It might work.
Steam? Oh god yes please.
Epic? Might as well bought by Tencent.
Tencent? Kill me.
If Microsoft does buy it, we should all switch to Guilded. I'm not going to keep using it if it gets the same treatment they gave Skype (bloating the F out of it).
I feel like the majority of the people in favor of it are in favor of it because they have no idea how good Skype was before Microsoft put their filthy hands on it.
@@expression3639 Indeed. I miss the old skype. I used it more often than I used MSN YIM or AIM. Nowadays when I'm in a online game and people want me to join a skype call I say "dudes just get on Discord its better".
@@pozatat Im not fond of Guilded either but if Microsoft bloats up Discord, what else is there? Teamspeak? lol
Guilded is worse. Switch to Matrix instead.
@@erkinalp I just looked up what Matrix was; and I think in a lot of cases it should work, but I can't tell if it can handle large communities that stream video games. I can't find info on that in a google search. That's one of the biggest draws to Discord. People use it for gaming communities. If people choose this option I'd recommend we all stick to one client so we can help each other familiarize. Element looks familiar enough. I also kinda like Quaternion because it uses QT5. Since my work laptop uses Lubuntu it should fit right in with LXQT.
I use discord mainly for game chat, but also have a D&D server where we use voice chat messages bots for dice rolling and sometimes video chat or screen share. No one bothers with Nitro..
me and my friends were doing co-op zelda randomizers and streaming to each other
Dropping calls, notifications not working, hard to see when someone calls... I have none of these issues with teams at work. Is this a regional issue somehow? (European here).
Except for it being a bit slow sometimes, it works very well and on my phone too.
Are those the senheiser hud duh six hungoes?
I never even heared bevore about the discord store
There are real-time video and voice chat protocols that run p2p. Although you will be limited by the number of connections you can make by I believe both bandwidth and processor.
Seems to me that you'd be more limited by your download than upload bandwidth. Your outgoing video can just use an IPv6 multicast to indicate its packets need to go to addresses A, B, C, D, E, while you need to pull in packets from those five addresses for your incoming video feeds.

By the way, Discord *PICKED* Microsoft, it's not Microsoft going to pick it. Discord Picked it.
Let's go back when Microsoft acquire GitHub, did they put ads? no. They unlocked some premium features. How about minecraft? Same Developer Team but they have microsoft login because i heard that minecraft needs to get more secure.
Also, Discord wanted to partner up Xbox, if Microsoft acquire discord, its going to be the same developer and discord would be in Xbox also.
[This is my take.]
why? As long as it doesnt change too much who cares
7:31 literally do this every day with my friends
I am a lecturer at a animation school and we use both Discord and Teams... Discord for the students: General communications sharing links to scene files through wetransfer or images, and the Goove bot is great for booting up playlists
and we use Teams for staff communication: QC meetings, scheduling meetings, video chats
so...micropoop... please dont kill discord
yay i am a Nitro user. i love discord and wanna support them!
I use nitro as well, mostly cause I boost a couple servers that I support and its cheaper via nitro. Also the cross server emotes are nice.
It's good cz they'll fix the multitasking better with discord as I play apex and can't use the app without it freezing
I’m certain Discord sells info to Facebook. I had a friend who lives over 1000 miles away who was a suggested friend. I had zero mutual friends with them, and I almost never use Facebook for anything. The only services we were friends on was Discord and VRChat. Nothing else. It blew me away.
Yeah, discord is terrible for privacy and do research on who the owner is and the true story, its shady
Do you sell out and get censored and manipulated, or do you stay the course and slightly modify the program slightly to make it cost effective?
Actually there is lot of discord servers that give rewards to members for using nitro to boost the server so most big discord groups will have a bunch of nitro users, its not a negligible number.
I use to always use teamspeak for gaming on pc
I think they will make it so u can't go higher then 480p and 15fps streaming if u don't have nitro and they may make adds for when u load the app has they CAN'T take streaming nor make adds when u are chatting or voice chat they may not (its a bad idea) take away streaming for free but nitro will probably get a tier where u don't get adds for cheap on where its like now and one that more extreme
Lmao, it’s 720p , 30fps minimum even without nitro. That sounds like more of a you problem
Will sponsor a video of Linus ranging about escape from tarkov.
Discord uses webrtc for calls. It's peer to peer as far as I understand
Discord is not peer to peer
WebRTC doesn't have to be peer to peer.
Interesting. I always lived under the impression of WebRTC is intended for peer to peer. But also discord says now that it's not peer to peer because if you have a channel with many users, having so many peer to peer connections for everyone involved would kill most clients.
Well, itd probably get good Xbox integration
Also better/less biased support.
I'm very confused, I have yet to find a problem with the way Skype works for video or audio calls, but discord has trouble using a Bluetooth headset properly, or getting gain correct on wired earbuds with a mic. I don't have any dedicated audio equipment, so maybe that's the issue, but since Skype works with what I have, it's hard to believe that's going to solve my problems.

Most people have powerful pc with many spare threads they could do some hosting and be the power for their own chats maybe?
You want a federated or distributed solution for that to be possible. Corporate-owned services are pretty-much always centralised, and those that aren't tend to get converted into centralised ones.

@@enderan647 and how it works in teamspeak?
@@xyl9l with teamspeak, it depends on the rented server.
Well, if they are smart like parsec they have made their own peer to peer protocol that handles streaming partially from the host to nearby clients, and then on a caching server for long-distance viewers.
Well back to running TeamSpeak on my home server I guess. Docker made it just about effortless.
I know Microsoft is taking a hands off approach with a lot of the things they own now especially game studio companies like 343 or recently Bethesda, still though things can still change and Microsoft could finally fill that 4th grave they've dug up.
If I had to guess, they would want to have some sort of deal with their game passes...like pay a dollar or so more to get Nitro on top if they have a premium tier. Over the large number of subscribers the cost of maintaining Discord would be easier to manage.
no, no i dont

I would drop discord if epic buys it. I would stay if Microsoft buys it.
curious to hear your reasoning!
It's a matter of opinion but I would do the opposite to you @alex
Tencent and ccp probably ruins it for him
Technically, if Microsoft buys discord you don't need to think about other company stealing your data It'll all go to microsoft, unless you uses linux.
Still would prefer Microsoft over ccp and tencent, would prefer north korea over ccp or tencent
The talk linus had with tarkov, I wish he checked out modern modded dayz
Discord is like chrome, its extremely convenient
Edit:my personal hope is one day discord or something similar will be built into consoles and be available to pcs for cross platform games. Like I play tons of ffxiv on ps4 and have to use text chat or at least open my laptop or turn on my pc just for discord and then sacrifice my audio in game.

Bruh we gamers just want discord to partner with all consoles branded companies like Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo and so we can continue support cross platform and expansion of communities on how they can interact with each other and discord can be worth as much as twitch if they do that
Came for a discord video and got a tarkov one, nice
it would be nice if the small team got to share in the purchase price but that's not how reality works. but the dream would be to start a business that ends up getting acquired by a multinational company for billions
I still consider George Lucas, for example, to be the actual winner in the Disney acquisition of Start Wars, because after Disney acquired it, the franchise has got to heck. But then again I'm one of those weirdos that think that there has only ever been two good start wars movies so what do I know?
But anyway GL got paid 4BN. If I were him I would've tossed it all into disney. In fact, Lucas did get about half of the 4BN in stock options and the value of DSNY went up 4 fold since then. Imagine that - company buys you out for 4BN and you hold onto the shares and are now worth 7BN. Not a bad deal.
Meanwhile Disney takes all the risk.
