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

BETTER FASTER STRONGER LOUDER

• We did some heavy tinkering on Discord’s core infrastructure. Most of the following bullets are related to this. Queue the Daft Punk track.
• We’re not joking, please listen to this while reading for maximum impact.
• Large servers perform better in general. CPU and network usage is about the same regardless of server size (whether a hundred people or a hundred-thousand people).
• Offline members are no longer hidden after you cross one-hundred members. We turned this off long ago for tech… and it is back. Offline lists in large servers are still hidden, though.
• Discord uses a lot less data now. Long live your data plan.
• Discord uses a lot less battery now. Longer live your battery life. Also, the iOS app loads faster. Android imminent.
• Large Discord servers can now grow much larger. This one’s for you, Fortnite.
• Select Xbox Insiders can now connect their Xbox account to Discord. Will be available to the rest of us mere mortals sometime in the very very very near future.
• Audio files can now be played directly in Discord to minimize the time it takes for people to listen to your toasty mix tape.
• Screenshare now includes audio! Now your friends can yell at you to kill the Genji behind you.
• New authentication screens are sexy af. Go check out how wavy they are.
• Added a volume slider to the inline media player because that llama video someone sent me was loud and confusing.
• The instant invite pop up now has user suggestions for speed running server invites. UX BOOOOOOST :rocket:
• Turned off a few lights in dark theme. There’s more dark now. That’s how that works.
