Following its rollout for Xbox Insiders a few months ago, Discord Voice is now officially available for everyone on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, allowing you to chat on Discord directly from your console.
To get started, all you need to do is head to the Discord mobile app, link your account to your Xbox, and then join a Discord voice channel or call and transfer it to your console from there.
Here's a bit more information about today's update:
"With this update, you can now chat with anyone on Discord via voice channels or group calls directly from your console, making it easy to connect with friends across mobile, Xbox, and PC. This means that you will be able to see who is in the call and speaking while you are playing on your console. You’ll also be able to adjust the sound and switch between Discord Voice and Xbox game chat while you play all your favorite games."
Will you be using Discord Voice on Xbox? Let us know in the comments below.

Do you actually get 1000 gamerscore lol?
@TheMoistDoctor No 😂
A very welcome addition. Shame it needs to be used in conjunction with the app though, and not have a native Discord app for Xbox as well.
Still this'll save me having to use my janky setup where I connect my headset to a tablet to chat, but then can't hear the game properly.
@FraserG damnnnn I wish they did that 😂 does anyone remember when you could get achievements for YouTube?
Ugh. Hate discord with a passion and one if the things wrong with gaming IMO.
I refuse to support a platform that allows the disgusting things that discord does.
@InterceptorAlpha What are you on about? Care to elaborate or educate the masses?
@InterceptorAlpha
I'm not familiar with this. Could you give any examples of their conduct? Appreciate it!
@jkald I don't mean this to sound rude, but no I don't care to give examples because I'm not looking to get banned. It takes 2 minutes to see some of the disgusting groups that Discord allows to exist.
I reported ongoing targetted harassment and abuse that had been happening for months across multiple servers, including a large server founded by someone on the discord trust and safety team and they told me they won't do anything unless the police tell them to. The police told me they can't do anything about a foreign business.
Basically, getting discord to uphold their TOS is a wild goose chase. Unless you're reporting the server of someone the left hates on twitter (unrelated to my harassment claim. I joined one of my favorite youtuber's server and found rampant hate speech against women and lgbt in the server due to negligent moderation. His rules say to just block anyone breaking the rules instead of reporting it. Needless to say I haven't watched his channel since.)
Anyway. Having to do it through an app on your phone defeats the point of voice chatting on Xbox.
I don't even have a phone which the official app supports.
@InterceptorAlpha
Gotcha, I think I get it from your reply anyways.
I use discord to voice chat playing the switch. Never got the community aspect.
This is great, I have been using for a couple of months and works great, would be nice to allow us to stream the gameplay in the discord rooms, my friends on PC do that a lot
@TheMoistDoctor
ah nope
Discord is spying on you and selling your data to China. Search for "Discord: The most evil business in the world." I will never ever use them.
