Xbox’s latest Discord feature update brings direct friend calling and more
Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Microsoft is expanding Discord support on Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One with a number of new features – including a consolidated Xbox and Discord friends list – that’ll be rolling out to general users in the “coming weeks” following a bit of Insider testing.
Starting with that Xbox Friends list, Discord friends who are gaming or chatting in Discord Voice will soon appear in the “Happening now” tab alongside Xbox friends in parties or games. Additionally, if a friend is talking or streaming a game in a Discord server voice channel, that channel will also be shown in “Happening Now”.
Furthermore, once the update is available, it’ll be possible to initiate a Discord call, jump straight into a voice channel, or watch a friend streaming directly from the Xbox Friends list.
