Discord Voice Chat Now Works Without Phone on Xbox Consoles as the Company Rolls Out Nitro Basic Plan, Activities, and Games; All We Know

Discord is one of the most used to connect over voice, video, and text for gamers. Through this app, players can not only connect with other players, but also be a part of other communities too. Discord has made its way to Xbox and in an update, users will be able to use the application on their console without the need of a smartphone.

Discord on Xbox will now allow users to make voice calls and connect to server calls without connecting their smartphones. Through this feature, connecting with friends and other users will be much more hassle-free. For Xbox Alpha Insiders, they will have this feature available already, and they can use it by clicking the Discord button in the Guide under Parties & chats. Users will have to link their accounts to join a voice channel directly through their consoles. Users should note that direct calls still require the mobile app.

Discord on Xbox is getting way better. You won’t need to use your phone soon, so you can connect to calls in Discord servers directly from the Xbox dashboard ???? details here: https://t.co/VXaBj2zD1l pic.twitter.com/nerSy1zX80
