The voice calls will be available on the Xbox. The feature will allow users to connect to Discord voice chats from their Xbox and facilitate all kinds of cross- platform play shenanigans.

It takes a lot of effort to connect your Xbox and Discord accounts. The first thing you have to do is download the mobile app for the console. You need to connect your account to yours. If you have connected them before, you will need to do it again to accept the new voice permission.

If you want to talk with your friends on Xbox, you can start a call on Discord, hit the "transfer to Xbox" button, and you're done. You will be able to initiate a transfer from Discord on desktop or the web, and you will also be able to open the mobile app with aQR code.

The "Try Discord voice on Xbox" prompt can be found in the "parties and chats" section of the dashboard. The two-way link between a Discord account and an Xbox account will be included in this.

It is possible to transfer voice chats from one console to another on both the Xbox One and X consoles. There isn't a dedicated Discord app on the console, so you can't join calls from there. Instead, you use the mobile app to make calls, and they integrate into the interface of the game.

Eric Voreis is the principal program manager for the XBOX player experiences and platforms. You will be able to change the sound and chat between games.

The new integration will be rolled out to select Xbox Insiders today and will be expanded to more people in the coming weeks. Microsoft usually tests new features for a few weeks or months before releasing them to the public.

We are still waiting for more information about the integration. Microsoft was rumored to be trying to acquire the platform weeks after Sony invested in it. The only integration that has appeared so far has allowed users to link their accounts, but many were hoping to see more integration after Sony promised to bring the Discord and PlayStation experiences closer together.
