Discord: Talk, Chat & Hang Out
How can I create separate text channels for different topics in my Discord server?
In your server, click the '+' icon next to the text channels list to create a new channel. Name it something like 'homework-help' or 'memes' to keep conversations organized, just like the reviewer did for their study group and dorm floor.
Can I share files like PDFs or lecture slides in Discord for free?
Yes, the free version allows you to upload files up to 25MB, which is perfect for sharing articles or lecture slides. For larger files, you'd need the Nitro subscription, but most students find the free limit sufficient.
Why does Discord use a lot of battery during voice calls, and how can I reduce it?
Discord's voice calls can drain battery because they keep the app active and use your phone's microphone and speaker. To save battery, try lowering your screen brightness or using a wired headset instead of Bluetooth, and consider muting your video if you're not using it.
I'm confused about the difference between a server and a channel in Discord. How do they work?
Think of a server as a whole building for a group, like your dorm floor or study group, and channels as individual rooms inside for specific topics. You can create multiple text or voice channels within one server to keep conversations separate and organized.
How does Discord compare to WhatsApp for group study sessions and sharing notes?
Discord is better than WhatsApp for organized group study because it lets you create separate text channels for different topics (like homework help or memes) and offers free voice and video calls without the endless message chains. WhatsApp is simpler for one-on-one chats, but Discord's server structure keeps everything tidy for larger groups.
