Discord on Xbox: how to set it up and use it?
Any gamer who plays online games needs a top-notch text and voice messaging system. In this field, we can't do any better than Discord, which has become a reference for anyone who needs to communicate about a game or keep up to date with events through its famous channels. But there is a huge drawback to using the service: its integration on consoles.
Indeed, Discord is still very much affiliated with the PC ecosystem, and for good reason, using it on consoles is simply impossible. A few months ago, PlayStation announced that it was buying the service in order to integrate it natively on its devices, but it seems that Xbox was the first to take the plunge with an important update. Gamers who have joined the green stable can now use Discord directly on their consoles, officially after a test phase exclusive to members of the Insiders program. Here are the steps to follow to access it ->
How to set up Discord on Xbox?
First of all, it's worth mentioning that it is primarily the voice aspect of Discord that has been integrated into the console. Players can now use voice channels and group calls while enjoying their game. You can access all the settings associated with sounds and calls directly on your Xbox, and you can also view the participants of a call or view the active voices.
To do this, you must already have a Discord account. If you don't, you can create one by clicking here --> You must then associate it with your console by going to the settings, under the Profile and systems tab, then Accounts and finally Linked social accounts. You will then see a list of networks, which now includes Discord. Click on the corresponding icon and follow the instructions.
Note that to use Discord on Xbox you will need the desktop or mobile application. If you want to enjoy a call directly on Xbox, you will first have to go through the application, then click on Transfer Call, represented with a smartphone icon hidden by a joystick. Follow the instructions again and you're done. The procedure is still a bit complicated for the moment, but we hope that a future update will correct the shortcomings of this first integration.
