Discord is an online communications service where people gather in invitation-only communities, known as servers, to exchange messages, make voice and video calls, and share files. It is widely used by gaming groups, hobby communities, schools and workplaces.
The company was founded in 2015 and operates globally, with services that depend on its own systems as well as wider internet infrastructure. When the platform is unavailable, users may be unable to contact their communities or access tools that some groups use to organise events and discussions.
