"The voice quality is crisper and clearer thanks to a more modern voice engine than what’s used by the now decade-and-a-half-old choices like TeamSpeak and Ventrilo..." —Tom Marks, pcgamer.com (May 13, 2016)

"Discord positions itself as a way to replace your programs such as Skype, TeamSpeak, Mumble, Ventrillo, etc..." —Aikage, tay.kinja.com (Sep 19, 2015)

"Tl;dr Discord seems to be great (feature whise), but there are some really big issue with fundamental stuff like audio quality and latency. In the end i hope Discord will succeed because it's really above its opponent feature wise." —Mrpoussin (a user), reddit.com (Dec 26, 2015)

Portability Notes

Discord do not have portable mode. It stores some settings in Windows registry while running.
We redirect Windows' %USERPROFILE% environment variable to Discord portable's Data\Home folder—so most of it are portable.
Make sure it exits cleanly before plugging out your thumbdrive.
You can help by upvoting this request to the official developer to add "portable mode" to their future release.
