If you click away from the video call, you'll get a neat little picture-in-picture screen so you can stay chatting while you check out other Discord channels. You can switch between your screen share and webcam video at will, making it easy to connect with your gamer buddies face to face and plot your strategy on paper. The test run will last a month or so, which is when Discord plans to open up the features to all users.įor now, video chat and screen sharing is only available in one-to-one Discord calls or within direct message groups of up to 10 people, so you'll need to start one to see the video options (the team recommends five users at once for best quality). Desktop app users will get the feature first, with roll outs planned for mobile and web users soon. The team is testing the two new features with 5 percent of its current members to make sure its servers can handle the big bump in server traffic represented by video data. That extra cash may be why the Discord team is able to start rolling out two of its most-requested features, video chat and screen sharing.
It secretly raised $50 million last month, as well.

Discord, the Slack-like gaming chat app, has been steadily improving since its initial launch a couple of years ago.
