Discord Text Chat in Voice Channels Rolling Out

Hey Admins & Mods,

Beginning Wednesday, 6/1 we’re rolling out Text Chat in Voice Channels to Discord. With embedded chat in voice channels, your community can send messages, GIFs, links, memes, etc. to everyone in the voice channel—no more clogging #channel.

We are rolling out Text Chat in Voice Channels slowly to all servers throughout the week. Initially, it will not be enabled by default for servers that have greater than 200 members or are set as a Community Server.

But once you have access…
:dot: You’ll have a new Server Settings tab on the web or your client called Text in Voice.
:dot: Turn Text Chat in Voice Channels on for your community by selecting Enable.
:dot: Customize permissions for your community, like enabling in specific voice channels or disabling for certain roles. Most developers of your favorite moderation bots have already updated their instances to monitor Text Chat in Voice Channels!

For more details on Text Chat in Voice Channels, read our Help Center article here: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/4412085582359

In four weeks, Text Chat in Voice Channels will be automatically enabled for all servers while still respecting your prescribed permissions—but we recommend you enable it early for all your server members to enjoy!
