Sorry to say it, but it has always sucked.

Nah. What sucked was having to type in IP addresses just to talk on voice.

Absolutely. For some crazy-ass reason my job transitioned away from Teams (I get it) and Slack and to Discord.
Discord is garbage for this type of work environment. Maybe it works for some? But it just doesn’t make sense.

lmao.
Discord is surely very good for work-related trade secrets

My company has been using Discord for work and at first I was excited to try it (coming from Slack companies), but I had to realize that it’s very unfit for work. The only thing that’s better is the visibility of threads. We are moving to Slack now, thankfully.

I used Discord for work and it was great for voice channels. We used slack for channels where we needed to share text and images, worked quite well. Main problem was that many people at the company were not really from the internet in the sense that they had no Discord etiquette whatsoever.

My stress levels skyrocket whenever I’m using Discord. The quality of the voice is nice but having to constantly reconfigure the settings to make it work fine and the unintuitive UI stresses me out.

I have basically disabled all input settings in the app and configure the input before it reaches Discord for consistency. Still it sometimes messes up things amazingly.

Yeah I use the Steelseries sonar stuff because that makes it so that inputs never change. When my headset turns off it redirects the output to my speakers and when I turn the headset back on, it goes back to it. Virtual audio devices are very nice in general lol.
