To increase the winning rate in gaming, effective communication with teammates is crucial, especially in team-oriented games. When playing with friends, communication is seamless, but solo play with unfamiliar teammates relies on voice chat. Nowadays, most online games integrate a voice chat system, but not all games, and some in-game voice chat systems are subpar. This is why voice chat support software like Discord has emerged. In this article, Mytour explores what Discord is and the advantages that make it a preferred choice among gamers. Join us for the journey!
1. What is Discord?
Discord is a communication platform encompassing both text and voice, allowing gamers to communicate with each other while playing the same game.
Discord stands out with its modern and intuitive interface, catering to a diverse user base. Gamers can effortlessly create dedicated chat channels, inviting friends with just a few clicks - maximizing the time for epic battles without tedious waiting. The best part? No fees for registration and use of Discord.
2. How to Register a Discord Account
Registering a Discord account is simple and entirely free. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Visit the address https://discordapp.com/register
Next, on the website interface, enter all the required information and click Continue.
Note: Ensure to input the correct Email address, as after completing the account creation, you'll need to access your mailbox to confirm the account.
Step 2: Your account is now created. When you receive a notification, press Skip to proceed:
Step 3: Now, access your Email inbox to confirm the account. Open the mail sent by Discord, and click the Verify Email button.
Step 4: A new webpage appears, tick the box I am not a robot and confirm as per the instructions to complete.
So, we have successfully completed the process of registering a Discord account.

Here, let's choose Create a Server to experiment with server creation. In the new window, enter the Server name, change the server region by pressing Change, update the avatar by clicking on the circular image. Finally, press Create to establish the server.
We have successfully created the server. Now, invite friends to the server for voice chat by clicking Invite People.
A small window will appear with a link; copy this link and send it to your friends for them to join the server. The link will expire in 1 day. If you want it to never expire, check Set this link to never expire before copying the link.
