Any gamer who plays online games needs a top-notch written and voice messaging system. In this area, there is currently no better than Discord, which has become a reference for anyone who needs to communicate about a game or keep up to date with events thanks to its famous channels. But there is a huge black spot in 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 console 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 a major update. Players who have joined the green team can now use Discord directly on their console, and this officially after a test phase exclusive to members of the Insiders program. Here is the step to follow to access it, which differs slightly from the one previously communicated.
How to set up Discord on Xbox?
First of all, it is worth mentioning that it is above all 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 therefore have access to 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 not, you can create one by clicking right here. You then need to associate it with your console by going to settings, under the Profile and systems tab, then Accounts and finally Linked social accounts. A list of networks will then appear, of which Discord is now a part. Click on the corresponding icon and follow the instructions.
Please note that to use Discord on Xbox you will absolutely 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 by a smartphone icon hidden by a controller. Follow the instructions again and you're done. The procedure is still a little complicated at the moment, but we hope that a future update will correct the flaws of this first integration.
