Discord for Business
My company is presently evaluating alternatives to Slack internally. Turns out, Discord is one of the most feature rich alternatives, with a relatively smooth UI and voice/video/screenshare capability. I couldn't even get half of about 10 people on the testing committee to try it.
The reasons:
-The logo in the tray is a video game controller
-The home screen shows a listing of games
-The chat bot addressed a female employee when she joined as "love"
-Touchpoint emails aren't asking for feedback, they're talking about the journey for users to share gaming experiences
Except the third one above, none of these are "bad" per se. And the product is really solid. There's a market there that could certainly use it as is, but perhaps an even bigger (and more lucrative one) that will be turned off to the current state. We're not moving forward with Discord because we don't feel it really has us as a high value audience. But some tweaks to modify the UI/UX to meet these differing needs based on license type may be worth exploring.
Thanks!

Dear Discord team,
Hello, first, thank you for your work, Discord is an amazing tool, this is the best vocal I have ever seen.
With the covid 19, we are many working from home and I was thinking about the possibility to integrate Discord in the company (as Teams, Skype and so one) it would be so great to have the possibility to "recreate" the company and office throughout Discord, and pop into a colleague's office to say hello, meet up for a coffee without scheduling a meeting. I know this is currently complex due to company policies, privacy and security systems, but it was just a thought.
Anyway, thank you again for your work :D1 -
would love to have a clean version of discord for business also!

I would LOVE to see discord for business. I work in a scrum team of web developers and having channels with roles/permissions that would allow me and my teammates to pop in and out for quick discussions would be so much faster and seamless than webex, zoom or any other similar meeting platform. Currently we use a combination of MS teams and webex and it's a hassle.

I don’t understand why you guys just don’t use Slack? It’s pretty much Discord for Work.

Dumbo In my experience, video sharing in Slack is absolute garbage compared to Discord. That's the main reason I prefer Discord.
Discord also has programming language syntax highlighting in code blocks, which Slack doesn't have. In Slack you have to create "snippets" to achieve that, which is an absolute pain when you just want to paste a few lines of code.
Discord also has voice channels, which is nice to have in some scenarios, like open meetings. In Slack you have to explicitly call/add every member of a meeting.
