Our blog has moved to our main website! Check us out on discord.com/blog to stay in the loop about future posts.

PEDAL TO THE METAL

For those that don’t know, you can support Discord’s development and get sweet features with a Nitro subscription. Nitro gives you animated avatars, larger file uploads, nitro profile badge, and you can use your custom emoji anywhere.

You guys are so awesome and have shown us so much support. So, we’re adding two more features for Nitro subscribers at no extra cost:

  • Animated emoji! With the power of time (and some code), your emotes can now shake their booties.
  • 720/60fps and 1080p/30fps options for liquid smoove Screen Share. 1080p is pretty hard on older rigs, so tread carefully!
  • Furthermore, PayPal is now supported! This was requested by you guys.

THE TALE OF TWO BUFFS

  • The owner of a Group DM is now labeled and treated like a king on the member list. Bow before your mighty group creators.
  • Japan servers are live! 日本が大好き.

ANDROID GOT THREE BUFFS

  • Increased stability for voice and video calls during poor network connections. The rawest of buffs.
  • Jumping from search or pins now works. Zoom around chat to points of interest. It’s like fast warps in games.
  • Light and Dark theme is now respected on many more screens than before. About time they got some respect.

2017 IS GOING AWAAAAY

  • If you missed it, we talked about our plans for 2018 here.
  • We just relaunched our merch store! There’s some sweet cozy goodness.
  • This is likely the last change log until next year. I hope your metaphorical dice roll critical hits for the remainder of the year. See you on the other side!
