Discord adds text chat to voice channels

Discord, everyone’s go-to voice-and-text communication service, revealed it’s adding a new feature: Text chat specifically for voice channels. It functions almost identically to text chat in other video calling features.

Up to now, if you wanted to share something with others in voice chat, or if you wanted to listen in on a voice chat but speak in text form, you needed to use a text channel for that purpose. Now the voice channels will have their own text space instead. If you’ve used Zoom or Google Meet, this will be familiar.
