Discord is a proprietary all-in-one voice and text chat application, cross-platform chat application, especially tailored for Gamers, however many open source communities have official servers through Discord as well. Discord can be used through the browser, however there is also a desktop application as well. The desktop application uses Electron.

## Installation

You can use one of following packages in order to install the desktop application for Discord:

### Graphical clients

The official app:

- Stable: discord
- Nightly: discord-canaryAUR

Third-party clients:

- ripcordAUR, see the Ripcord article for more information

### Command-line clients

- cordless-gitAUR

There are more CLI-based third-party clients out there hosted on places like GitHub (such as Discline or terminal-discord), although only Cordless is currently packaged on the AUR.

### Chat client plugins

- By using purple-discord-gitAUR, you can use Discord on graphical or terminal messenger softwares based on libpurple such as Pidgin.
- By using bitlbee-discord-gitAUR, you can use Discord via Bitlbee.

If you experience crackling sounds when in voice chat, you should try the steps outlined here: PulseAudio/Troubleshooting

If you can't share individual monitors on a multi-monitor setup, you should try mon2cam-gitAUR as a workaround to this bug: Discord Trello
