Does everyone need a Discord account to join the call?
The big benefit (for me) of Zoom is that I can send a link to anyone and they don't need an account. Asking someone to sign up for a Board Game Arena account AND Discord would be too much.
- bluetidepro 6y agoThat's fair, I guess depending who you play with, some people may not have a Discord. You do have to have a Discord account, correct. All of my friends and I are already all together in a Discord server, so it makes sense, but if it was new people playing that could def add to the hurdle.
- colomon 6y agoAnd yet... asking us to sign up for Board Game Arena and Discord is exactly what the weekly game night I've been involved with the last month did, and they have 8+ people every week. (For that matter, I asked the folks in my new D&D campaign to sign up with D&D Beyond and Discord, and that went fine as well.)

Video is just icing on top. If Discord had a version suitably branded for Business, I'd say it'd be better than Zoom and Slack combined. It just works.
