Discord Developer News - July 2026

Hey devs! Welcome to the July edition of Discord Developer News. This month includes updates to the Social SDK, message attachments, and a heads up on an upcoming connections deprecation.

🎙️Proximity Voice Chat in Unity with the Discord Social SDK

Question: Can you do proximity voice chat with the Social SDK? 🤔
Answer: YES! 🥳
In this livestream with our friends at Unity, we walk through the full implementation: creating a lobby, starting an in-game voice call via the SDK, intercepting raw per-user audio streams, and routing them through Unity’s AudioSource system to apply true 3D spatial positioning based on player distance.

🎮 Social SDK Updates

Two new Social SDK releases shipped with stability and auth fixes:
- 1.9.17379: 🛠️ Fixed a crash from re-entrant HTTP requests during connection teardown on PlayStation 5
- 1.9.17228: 🔐 Fixed AUTHORIZE_REQUEST events not re-subscribing after a Discord reconnect; 🎙️ Krisp noise suppression binaries/models now bundled in Unity & Unreal plugins for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS
- Get the latest version

📎 Attachment Editing & Spoilers

Apps can now edit description and is_spoiler on existing attachments when editing messages.

Check the new IS_SPOILER attachment flag to read spoiler status.
The legacy SPOILER_ filename prefix still works, but isn't required anymore.

📘 Docs Fix: Subscription Status Values

We fixed a longstanding doc error where INACTIVE and ENDING subscription status integers were swapped. The correct values are INACTIVE = 1, ENDING = 2. The API always returned these correctly and it was incorrect in the docs. We We recommend double-checking any code that branches on the subscription status.

⚠️ Heads Up: Riot Games Connections Deprecation

New Riot Games connections (powered by the Social SDK) are no longer returned by GET /users/@me/connections.
Starting July 10, 2026, legacy Riot Games and League of Legends connections will also no longer be returned, with no replacement planned.

🗓️ Upcoming Events

Building with Interactions: Slash Commands and More!

Slash commands are often the first interaction point developers build for their Discord app, but there's a lot more to interactions than just /command. Join us as we walk through building Discord apps using slash commands, buttons, select menus, and modals. We'll cover best practices for structuring commands, handling autocomplete, and designing interaction flows that feel native to Discord.
