'''[https://discordapp.com/ Discord]''' is an out-of-game platform for instant messaging and voice over IP (VoIP) communication. Discord users can voice call, video call, text message, share media and files, and much more, taking place either in private messages or in virtual communities called "servers". [[EVE University]] uses Discord for text communication, class streaming, and voice communications in fleets, etc., as well as the dissemination of important announcements and news, making Discord our ''de facto'' immediate info source. It is therefore encouraged that Unistas regularly check in with the Discord server, especially for fast-moving situations which require immediate communication. | |||
Discord allows users to send out pings (notifications) for various purposes, which will be received by all members with access to the channel where the ping is sent. Pings can be made to "@everyone", which will tag all users in that channel regardless of online state, "@here", which will notify only those presently online in that channel, or to specific roles or individual Discord users for more specific purposes. Discord also has a mobile app for both Android and iOS, allowing users to keep up while away from their desktop or laptop. | Discord allows users to send out pings (notifications) for various purposes, which will be received by all members with access to the channel where the ping is sent.
