Discord
Discord is an instant messaging and VoIP social platform which allows communication through voice calls, video calls, text messaging, and media and files.
Many use Discord for coordinating/communicating Roll20 games between sessions, or for video/voice during sessions, instead of Roll20's native video/voice.
And now Roll20 is Coming to Discord as an Activity!
Roll20 Activity
Roll20 Activity on Discord will be available as a beta to roll20 subscribers on April 30th, 2024. There are plans to make it available to all users later this year.
Get ready for the ultimate crossover event! Roll20, the leading virtual tabletop, is teaming up with Discord to bring the full Roll20 experience to life as an embedded Activity within Discord. And Roll20 Pro subscribers get to be among the first to try it out in an exclusive beta test launching next week (on April 30th). This means you and your gaming group can summon a full-featured virtual tabletop complete with maps, tokens, character sheets, and all the Roll20 tools you know and love – and play within the Discord interface. The best part? You can keep using Discord’s voice and video chat while rolling dice, moving tokens, and traversing your campaign world together. No more juggling between apps and windows – just one seamless role-playing experience.
