Discord is a freemium and proprietary chat room program available for web browsers, Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS. Editors can chat by text like WP:IRC, but also by voice calls, unlike IRC.
In 2016, an unofficial Wikimedia Discord server was founded. It is moderated by several trusted Wikimedians, and members should follow the guidelines below. Discord accounts must have a verified email to chat on the server.

Channels exist for specific purposes, such as individual WikiProjects, and for more broad areas, like the English Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.
The Wikimedia Community Discord server can be joined via an invite link below, which may be disabled at times:
