"Discord has switched on end-to-end encrypted voice and video messaging for every user. The end-to-end encryption feature means that Discord users can now communicate privately without anyone else being able to listen in to their calls, not even Discord."
"Discord launched the end-to-end encrypted voice and video calling feature in 2024, and on Monday rolled out the feature to every user, no action needed."
""End-to-end Encryption is now standard for every voice and video call on Discord, outside of stage channels. No opt-in required," said Mark Smith, Discord's vice president of core technologies, in a blog post."
"This is a major privacy win for the community's hundreds of millions of users, soon after social media giant Meta pulled the plug on Instagram's end-to-end encrypted messaging feature earlier this year. TikTok said it would also not end-to-end encrypt user messages after it became a U.S. company."
Discord enabled end-to-end encrypted voice and video messaging for every user. The encryption prevents others from listening to calls, including Discord itself. The rollout covers voice and video calling outside of stage channels and requires no opt-in action. The feature was launched in 2024 and is now available to all users. The change follows other platform shifts, including Meta ending end-to-end encrypted messaging on Instagram earlier in the year and TikTok not end-to-end encrypting user messages after becoming a U.S. company. Discord positioned the update as a privacy improvement for its large user base.
