Discord, a popular text, voice, and chat messenger used by many in the streaming world, has been making waves in the gaming community. With its continuous improvements in functionality, the app has become a go-to platform for content creators looking to connect with their fans. Now, Discord is taking things a step further by integrating TuneIn, the all-radio application, into its platform.
This new feature will allow users in Discord voice chat to play their favorite live radio stations or podcasts for their friends, essentially turning anyone into a DJ with just the click of a button. TuneIn CEO Rich Stern explained that the process is simple – users just need to click on an icon that looks like a rocket ship to launch the TuneIn activity, giving them access to over a hundred thousand radio stations and five million podcasts.
What’s even more exciting is that the radio experience on Discord is shareable. The first user who clicks on the icon becomes the DJ but can easily hand off the role to someone else in the voice chat. Stern also mentioned that this is just the beginning of the integration plans at TuneIn, hinting at more collaborations with platforms like Discord in the future.
The partnership between Discord and TuneIn highlights the growing trend of blending different forms of media and entertainment. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see more communities and apps coming together to create unique and engaging experiences for users. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development in the world of gaming and social media.
