How does DISCORD work ?
DISCORD operates by private groups, called <servers>. Anyone can create a server, and invite friends to join by sending them a link. In order to facilitate discussions, the servers can be sub-divided into chat rooms. For example, our server DISCORD Association de Jumelage de Pornic, dedicated to AJP members who wish to exchange between themselves or with friends from the twin-towns, offers/makes available chat rooms open to exchanges with the Germans,English, Spanish or Italians, or other topics of discussion (tea-rooms). The chat rooms can be text-based, vocal or video.
Discover the interface
If the functioning of Discord seems complex at first, its interface divided into four columns, is relatively simple to master.
- The left-hand column provides access to the server Discord’s home page for the AJP, but also enables switching from one server to another.
- The second column manages predominantly the text-based and vocal chat rooms of the server.
- The central window displays the content of the conversations.
- And finally, the far right column shows the presence of members that are connected to our discussion platform.
