I think a good third of the engineering teams at my company tried out Discord at the start of stay-at-home because of the way it integrates voice chat right next to the text channels. It was probably the most similar replacement to an open-office floor plan we could find (very low friction to start conversations, and anyone watching can choose to hop in if they want).
We quit that after screensharing was super low quality compared to Zoom — apparently (even paid for a Discord “server boost”, but no fix. I think it was an issue with the Mac client or something). I think one or two teams still use it, but for the most part everyone’s back to slack + Zoom now.

The quality is razor sharp (framerate suffers but who cares about that when sharing a terminal or document), the collaboration features are amazing (scribble on the content), it has so many useful niche features (draw on your ipad/iphone).
