I get that Discord has some appeal considering the current situation. Aside from the price, there are some clear advantages over Zoom, Slack and others, though I would very much discourage the use of Discord for companies or public institutions.

Firstly, Discord's privacy policy makes it unsuitable for most corporate settings: https://discordapp.com/privacy

It also lacks any first-party support for E2E and does not offer any extended support you might require if you want to roll out a solution at this point in time.

Lastly, Discord's UI is very much tailored to their target audience, gamers, and while some of it may be easily ignored, the rather prominent dedicated "Games" Tab and in jokey quotes (Do a barrel roll, the cake is a lie, etc.) may not be received positively by ones superiors.

We've been using Discord to talk to each other while playing board games with a group of 4. I've noticed I have a harder time hearing female voices through it - the sound seems to cut out quite randomly, so that the women in the group tend to have repeat themselves.. I'm not sure if this is anecdotal, but after this experience, and knowing how dependent voice recognition is on extant training datasets, I would think twice before trying to use it for business.
