Virtual reality just became much more social. Discord has officially launched its native Meta Quest app, bringing voice chat, direct messages, streaming, and video calls directly into VR.
Previously, Quest users had to rely on browser workarounds or unofficial methods to stay connected with friends. With the official Discord app now available on the Meta Horizon Store, chatting while immersed in VR has never been easier.
Here's everything you need to know about Discord's new Meta Quest experience and how to claim a free month of Discord Nitro.
Discord Is Now Available on Meta Quest
Discord's native app is now available for several Meta VR headsets, allowing users to stay connected without leaving virtual reality.
Supported Headsets
- Meta Quest 2
- Meta Quest Pro
- Meta Quest 3
- Meta Quest 3S
Instead of juggling browser tabs or external devices, you can now access Discord directly inside your headset.
Voice Chat, DMs & Servers in VR
The Meta Quest app delivers much more than basic messaging.
After signing in, you'll have access to:
- Your Discord servers
- Direct Messages (DMs)
- Group DMs
- Voice Channels
- Notifications
Thanks to the Quest headset's built-in microphone, joining voice conversations feels just as seamless as using Discord on desktop or mobile.
Video Calls with Your Meta Avatar
One of the standout features of the new app is support for Meta Avatars.
Instead of appearing on camera, your personalized Meta Avatar can represent you during Discord video calls.
This creates a more immersive experience while allowing you to stay expressive inside virtual reality.
Whether you're gaming, hanging out, or attending virtual events, your avatar becomes your on-screen identity.
Stream Your VR Gameplay
Sharing VR experiences is finally simple.
Using the native Discord app, you can stream your first-person VR gameplay directly to friends inside Discord servers.
Likewise, you can watch your friends stream their PC or console games while relaxing inside your virtual environment.
