Discord is coming to Xbox
While it was already available on PlayStation, Xbox's longtime competitor, Discord is now available on Microsoft consoles. Very good news for all players, who will now be able to exchange much more freely with their friends, but also make group calls in a flash!
Players can now see directly from their console who is present in the group of friends and who is talking . They can also adjust the volume and switch from Discord chat to Xbox voice chat.
A welcome addition that will facilitate virtual life as well as communication for players, tired until then of having to alternate between Discord chats on PC and Xbox chat on console. Now the two are one!
How to link Discord to your Xbox?
It's quite simple, you have to go to the Guide by pressing the Xbox button on your controller, then go to the Groups and chat section and then click on Try Discord voice chat on Xbox.
You will then have the option to scan a QR code which will launch the Discord and Xbox apps to log in and link your accounts on both apps. If you have already linked your Discord account to your Xbox, it will be necessary to link them again in order to start from scratch.
Once your Discord account is linked to your Xbox, you will be able to take advantage of all the usual features of the application and thus join your friends. On the Discord mobile app, you'll see a new Join on Xbox option.
You will need the Xbox app to transfer voice chat from your Discord account to your Xbox. If the app is installed, it will automatically launch to allow you to connect Discord voice chat to your Xbox console.
And There you go ! This will allow you to join your friends on Discord voice chats. As a reminder, Discord will be available in the coming weeks to all Xbox console users . If you can't access it yet, don't panic and don't hesitate to keep an eye on our Xbox news to find out all about the news!
