Discord is finally going to let you schedule server events. This is a huge step forward for the chat app, as it will make it easier for users to connect and share events with their friends. Previously, users had to search through Discord’s user guide or contact the company directly to get this information. Now, all you need to do is type in “server event” and your desired date and time will be listed in the search results. This change comes as a relief for those who are struggling to find enough time to attend server events. With Discord, you can easily plan your meetups and gatherings without having to worry about when your next meeting will be.
Discord was initially designed as a place for gamers to get together and use voice chat. The service is constantly getting new features, and a new batch is coming that’ll you schedule events on a server and change your profile for each server you’re on.
According to The Verge, the chat app is getting a new scheduled events feature that allows you to create an event and share it with a server, much like a Facebook event. Personally, I use Discord for remote Dungeons & Dragons games, so having the ability to create events for upcoming games sounds like a remarkable feature for ensuring everyone knows when the next games are scheduled.
With the new feature, guests can RSVP through Discord and receive a notification when the event starts, eliminating any excuses for forgetting about the next big game night.
Additionally, Discord is rolling out a feature for Nitro users that’ll let them custom avatars for different servers. So, going back to the D&D example, you could use your character’s photo in a server dedicated to the D&D game and your real photo in other servers. Previously, you would have to change your avatar each time you changed servers, which was quite a pain.
As mentioned, this was first reported by The Verge, but Discord hasn’t officially announced the new features yet. We reached out to Discord for comment but haven’t received a response as of this writing.
