Discord has some awesome features that make it a better choice for us than Slack, even though it’s primarily aimed at gamers. The biggest game-changer? Persistent voice and video rooms. These aren’t like Slack’s temporary Huddles or scheduled calls; they’re always open, which lets us use Discord in a way that feels like a virtual office. Here’s how it works: each team member has their own video chat room, almost like their own digital “office.” If someone needs to discuss something or collaborate, they can just hop into that person’s room—just like walking over to someone’s desk in real life. There’s no need to send an email, set up a Zoom meeting, or interrupt others with a scheduled sync. It’s quick, natural, and keeps the flow of work going without any extra effort. These always-open rooms also improve how the team works together. It makes communication feel more personal and engaging, which is a huge step up from cold emails or quick messages. Plus, if someone needs to step away or focus, they can just mute their room, and everyone knows they’re not available—kind of like closing their office door. It’s easy, clear, and doesn’t disrupt the rest of the team. This setup has completely changed how we collaborate. It’s way more interactive and builds a better team culture because you feel more connected. If platforms like Slack added a feature like this, it would take their tool to the next level, offering not just chat but a real sense of connection and teamwork. ****HERE IS Eddie Maalouf who runs a multiple 7figure per month agency on exactly how they are using Discord as above: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypU69WLlBQg&t=4135s
