Meaning you no longer have to worry about making sure your text message is sent to the wrong text channel on your Discord server while on a voice call.<\/p>\n<p>The new feature is similar to text chats available on video communication services, such as Google Meet or Zoom.  Previously, if you were on a Discord voice chat and wanted to send a message, you had to go out of your way to either message the one or multiple people on Discord DMs, create an entirely new text channel, or share the message in a text channel on a Discord server.  In some cases, you probably used an entirely different messaging app like Twitter or WhatsApp to send the message. <\/p>\n<p>As you can see in the gif below, a new Chat bubble icon will appear when you enter a Voice channel, which opens the text chat.  Every time someone sends a chat message in the Voice channel, a little preview will pop up at the top right-hand corner of the app itself.<em> <\/em>Discord even told us that messages sent in a Voice chat channel will still be there even after the call ends. <\/p>\n<p><output class=\"article-image-container\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"jsx-1740678189 article-image-caption\">How Discord&#8217;s new Voice chat feature will work.  |  GIF Credit: Discord<\/p>\n<p><\/output><\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"object-feedback\"\/>\n<p>A new category in the Voice Chat permissions will also be introduced, allowing you to moderate what users can do in the voice channel chat, such as enabling permissions to attach files, embed links, and add reactions.<\/p>\n<p>Discord notes the press release that each Voice channel will have its own text chat;  those in that specific Voice channel will have the option to send text messages, such as sending a link to a funny YouTube video or someone who had to mute their mic for whatever reason can still communicate with others on the call. <\/p>\n<p>Discord said Voice channel chat is free for all users, and rollout for the feature will begin today, further noting that by June 29th, all servers, including Community servers, will have access to Voice channel chat.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"article-video-container\"\/><\/p>\n<p><em>Taylor is the Associate Tech Editor at IGN.
