Discord Is Planning On Adding Screen Sharing And Movie Talk Soon
by Tanner Dedmon | August Trio, two thousand seventeen
The popular voice and text talk platform used by gamers called Discord has recently announced that it’s making more moves towards the addition of screen sharing and movie talk features.
From a tweet that was put out by the program’s official Twitter account on Thursday, a tweet that came with a buffed-up version of the usual Discord logo, the app announced that they’re in the process of taking extra steps towards providing these features to users.

Downright free and secure, Discord is one of the most-used options when it comes to taking your in-game communication to the next level. With different channels for all the hit games where players can strategize through voice and text talks, many multiplayer matches in the top games will often have players requesting that their teammates hop on Discord if they’ve got the app.
With the addition of both screen sharing and movie talks, Discord looks to solidify itself as the prime option when it comes to gaming comms. A no-download desktop option makes joining conversations just a click of a link away, and a mobile app permits you to take the talking on the go and shift the explosion off of your PC if need be.
Rivaling with other services like Skype and TeamSpeak, the lack of screen sharing and movie talks within the program have been cited as the main features holding users back from fully converting over to a Discord-only usage. The program has no problem stacking itself up against these other services either, naming both of the competitors in its Twitter bio and even including a chart that compares the three services at the top of the page’s “Features” section. Like many users stated in the replies to the tweet, adding the two upcoming features will be a surefire way to bring in more users assuming they perform well.
There’s no release date yet for when users can expect the features as Discord has mentioned in the past that they refrain from providing such dates in order to supply a fully-finished project, but the official account described the additions as coming “HellaSoon™.”
