I've been using it a week and think its better in almost every way. drag and drop functionality for images/video in chat, even easier than FB can download a client to PC, mobile, apple and soon linux easy to give people a url link and get them to join in (doesn't work in MWO chat because no cut/paste), no client required and uninstalls when finished easy to set up private chat rooms in both text and voice without needing permissions from admins, each room is effectively it's own server shows you what games your friends are playing persistent chat and messaging, so people can leave you messages when off line The issue was forced because the people hosting out TS server are shutting down. But they'll need stereo audio for clients, and the ability to reply to messages in text chats before most of us will even consider it.We are transitioning to Discord this week. It definitely looks nicer to me, doesn't have TeamSpeak's non-iPhone X-compatible iPhone app, has a cleaner looking chat, better permissions, unified experience, etc.

(Here's the same thing in ? AIFC, I have no idea why, don't ask.)Īll-in-all, Discord has made a major improvement to the quality of the audio, and it's one step closer to maybe possibly (definitely) making a switch from TeamSpeak and Telegram some day. Get a real browser.(Player uses a 320kbps MP3)Īnd here's what it sounded like in late-2016: The second test demonstrates how Discord and TeamSpeak sound with our normal setup - light music in the background and all of us using the same mics we always do. SinusBot running with two instances powering both bots. The first compares the quality of music being played through a Discord bot with music being played through a TeamSpeak bot. Major drawback that's keeping most of us from wanting to switch.īelow is an audio clip, where we performed two tests. While that's great news for most people, audiophiles like several people in our community prefer to be able to use stereo microphones. Yep, bots get the Opus Music codec while clients are restricted to the single-channel Opus Voice codec.

But, where Discord falls short is that clients are restricted to mono audio. Even when comparing music, through a Discord bot. From our tests, we found that while voice quality sounded about the same. The January 25th 2018 update to Discord, bringing the Opus codec to version 1.2, has brought the audio quality in voice channels close to that of TeamSpeak.
