Cross-Platform Discord

With the rise of cross platform games, Modern Warfare Reimagined just to name one, there is a rising need for cross platform chat services. The discord app on PC and Mobile is great; however, utilizing a different platform takes away from the much needed audio of the game from the console I’m playing on. Don’t even get me started with game chat audio, it’s filled with people whom are just messing around. Now I’m not just talk about PC to Xbox, or Xbox to PlayStation. If it could be at all possible, the end goal would be for me to play a game, Minecraft for instance, with my friends from PC to Switch, Xbox to PlayStation, even with Mobile gamers. This could be a huge step to uniting all gamers. I know this whole network would take a little bit to set up, probably setting a base platform for each console independently would probably be the first step, but it will all be worth it in the end. Microsoft (Xbox) would probably be on board, since they have already a semi-setup system already and have proven eager to cross platform games already; PC and mobile devices are obviously a go since Discord already has a base platform on there; Nintendo would also be on board because they also seem eager to go cross platform with some games and cause... why not, what would they lose; the only foreseeable problem would be Sony, they are a bit too uptight about cross platform gaming, but may be convinced if their player base wants it. This is my idea, thank you for coming to my T.E.D talk.

UWP is the BEST way to include it on Xbox. That being said, better compatibility with the browser version (no download/in-browser) for all browsers currently in use would be the more likely approach to eliminating cross platform issues while minimizing coding needed. Right now, on the Xbox (Xbox Edge Browser), the in-browser client fails to load the website properly. This causes the website to just spin the loading icon forever... Wished this would get fixed.
