As the coronavirus pandemic continues to spread, people across the world have been forced to conduct a number of their daily duties from their own home. As a result, the game communication platform Discord has increased the number of people who can view a live stream – not to give game streamers a bigger audience, but to allow teachers to teach entire classes online and professionals to host digital meetings with their teams.

Since Discord made its debut four years ago as a platform primarily designed as a communication tool for gamers, the application has become a channel which people outside the gaming community also use to chat thanks to the way it conveniently puts audio-, video-, text-based communication in one space.
