Discord is making itself better known.

Discord launches Stage Discovery so you can find the best audio events

Discord is staving off threats from competitors by deepening its audio communication service for gamers and other communities. Today, the company is unveiling Stage Discovery, which is a new way for friends to hang out and discover audio events.

The new feature adds to Stage Channels, which is a way for Discord to ward off rivals Clubhouse and Twitter Spaces. Stage Channels are an easy way for people to host audio panels, comedy nights, and other events. It will become easier to explore these audio events without needing to hop in and out of Discord servers to find the ones you want to check out. Stage Discovery will be available in June.
