What it is
A voice and text chat program widely used by gamers and online communities. You create a space called a server and divide it into topic channels, so conversations stay separated as membership grows. It started as voice chat during games and is now common for study groups, clubs and developer communities.
When to pick this
For group voice chat in games or clubs. For workplace conversations Slack fits better, and for one-to-one contact in Korea, KakaoTalk.
Details
Voice channels
Once you are in a channel you talk without pressing a call button — a model built around conversation that happens while playing.
Screen sharing
Share your whole screen or a single window. It works on the free plan; higher resolution and frame rate need the paid Nitro subscription.
Memory use
Built on web technology, it uses a noticeable amount of memory just sitting open. 16GB of RAM makes running it alongside a game comfortable.
After a reformat
Sign in and you are done
Servers, friends and messages are all on the account. If two-factor authentication is on, you need the phone authenticator or a backup code.
Voice and hotkey settings again
Input device, push-to-talk key and overlay settings live only on the PC. There are only a few; set them again.
