If you can set up your own TS3 server, why not Discord?

There are many communication applications, but one of the most updated currently by the community of video game enthusiasts is Discord, as it offers an excellent solution to the problem presented by TS3. It is the fact of being able to create a community, since in TeamSpeak This problem has always been present, since the application is extremely basic, communicating otherwise without using voice was really complicated.

How Discord Works

To first understand the reasons why it is impossible to set up a home server Discord, you need to know how the platform actually works, since unlike TS3, this application is not designed to have “its own” servers. In the case of TeamSpeakwe can buy a license or use the basic one to create our server, either from hosting or directly from our own network, allowing us to control what is happening there at all times.

During, Discord It is an application more similar to WhatsApp, in which the company’s own servers are used to store and exchange messages that occur between people who use said application. In this way, as one can imagine, it is not a system that can be established on an external server, since it would have to communicate directly with the company for it to work.

That is why the solution that this messaging application offers us in this case is to be able to create our own servers using those provided by the company that runs this program. In this way it is easier, in addition to being free, to create a space to be with our friends and acquaintances, because unlike TeamSpeakwe can create a space with a very high person limit without having to pay.
