No matter what device your friends are using to stream – PC, console, or phone, you can watch their gameplay as long as you’re signed in to Discord.
Furthermore, you can now see the list of all your Xbox friends who are chatting on the voice channel on Discord. They’ll show up under a section called “Happening Now.”
The best part? You don’t need your phone to join their chats and voice calls anymore. Discord is now built right into Xbox, so you can talk to your friends directly from your console.
These new Discord features are available now for Xbox gamers who are enrolled in the Insider program. The rest of us will have to wait a bit longer, but it shouldn’t be too long.
This update brings Xbox and Discord even closer together, making it easier than ever to connect and play with your friends across platforms. With the ability to watch streams, see who’s chatting, and join voice calls directly from your console, Discord on Xbox is really becoming a popular communication software for all gamers.
