It’s voice chatting is incredibly low-latency and jumping in between channels is a breeze. Now it’s even beginning to incorporate game statistics within the app, with Divinity: Original Sin II being the first one to test it. The app prevents users from being DDoSed out of games, has an in-game overlay for voice, and even states what users are playing in the right-hand bar.
As it’s grown, however, it’s focus has expanded on becoming a fleshed out workspace. Focusīy and large, Discord was originally designed for gamers to form clans and chat with one another. Discord’s video sharing is great, but not over Slack’s file integration.
Both are great workspaces, but Slack wins in terms of better features. Unfortunately for Slack users, this is only included in the paid plans, while Discord offers this for free.Īdvantage: Slack. This is essential for app tutorials, more intimate conferences, and showing off those sweet gameplay clips. This feature alone places it above any other online workspace, as it maximizes productivity in-app.Įach app also includes video and screen sharing features. Trello, Dropbox, GitHub, Google Apps, and more are built right in to the workspace. Slack’s biggest differentiator is it’s incredible tool integration features. Discord includes some of these features as well, but Slack simply has more. Multiple per-channel management features are available through Slack, including a list of shared files, jumping to a certain date, and viewing starred/pinned messages. It’s a nice in-house spot to keep track of your priorities. Slack also includes a self-channel where you can post anything you want for later. Slack users can set a status by their name, and the platform also states their respective time zone which is essential for worldwide teams. Both apps allow you to edit your text for clarification – a nice touch, alongside emoji reactions for when you’re not bothered to type a response. All you need to do is generate a link in-house and send it over. Both apps contain username mentions such as “everyone”, “channel”, and “here”, with Discord having an extra “role” mention aka “leaders” or “marketing team”.įortunately, it’s incredibly simple to invite users to your channel. Slack also shows available channels, but notifies the group when someone new enters. It also features voice chat channels and the option to hide channels in drop boxes. Discord shows all channels available to the user, and allows admins to organize them between categories.
Both apps feature server specific notification options, such as muting or notifying upon mention only.Ĭhannels operate a tad different between the two. Both workspaces allow you to switch at will, with notifications for all popping up on the side. It’s not uncommon to be a part of multiple servers on either platform. But, those who want to make the most of their platform will want to master the many features of each. If that’s all you need, either one is more than enough. In this article, I’m going to compare the two based on the following metrics:įeatures – How each workspace benefits youįocus – What each platform is generally used forĪt their cores, Slack and Discord are pretty much the same thing: a spot to chat and share files. Online workspaces exist for this, and the best two out there are Slack and Discord. Files need to be shared and conversations need to be had. You have people connected across the world, at home, and at the office.
