DESKTOP CHANGE LOG

Updated accessibility friendly status icons and avatars. ❤
Improved screen share on Windows. Show off your gameplay or questionable shopping choices in higher quality than ever.
We’ve shredded our CPU and memory usage and made massive server connection gains. Finally got our summer bod ready.
Overlay performance is improved for resolutions lower than 4k. This one’s for you, normal people who own normal monitors.
Link unfurls can be furled now by clicking an X near the unfurled furl. For those unwilling to open a dictionary like myself, this means you can hide things that show up when you post a link.
Fixed a bug where server folders didn’t exist.

Our community hackathon was awesome! We’ve loved seeing all the entries from silly bots to amazing art. Check out the winners here.
Got an idea like server folders? Submit or upvote it on our feedback site. To date, we’ve shipped over 200 user-requested features.

You can now easily toggle between speaker, non-speaker, and Bluetooth mode in voice. Let the world hear you…or not. Your call.
Uploading videos is now as easy as uploading images. We’ve removed unnecessary steps like a construction worker that hates stairs.
Locking your screen will no longer hang up the call if in speaker mode. That was rude of us. Please forgive.
Viewing embedded images and GIFs is now more pleasant. A cleaner look with added performance buffs.
Messages now highlight when you long press on them. Big and small fingered folks alike all breathe a sigh of relief.
Youtube, Twitch, Instagram, and Twitter links will now open in their native app if installed because no one needs 200 browser tabs open please go close them. You won’t watch that video later who are you kidding.
DM navigation header now shows user activity so you can know who’s playing what and get ready to hop in that next TFT game.

Fixed a bug where swiping out of a server or DM back to the server list caused the app to bust out some sick dance moves.
Channel descriptions that are too long will now expand properly.
