I have come across the statistics for the gaming platform, Discord. It has a 200m user base who actively uses this gaming distribution platform. It gives a seamless networking experience while playing online games.
As Discord is a VoIP-based platform, it is very much related to the Internet service provider and the Discord server located.
If you are in traveling mode and trying to access Discord, you can change the region of Discord’s server to give you a quality experience without buffering. The nearer the Discord server location to your Internet server, the higher the quality experience.
Discord provides settings to change its server location from the platform itself.
Please check out the steps below to keep your connectivity intact while gaming using Discord.
