Discord makes end-to-end encryption default for voice, video calls
Discord has announced the implementation of end-to-end encryption (E2EE) by default for all voice and video calls. This enhancement aims to improve the security and privacy of user communications on the platform.
Key Takeaways
- End-to-end encryption is now the default for all Discord voice and video calls.
- The change covers every voice and video call on the platform, not a limited test group.
- Discord said the move is intended to improve security and privacy for user communications.
Why It Matters
For Discord users, voice and video traffic now carries end-to-end encryption by default, which raises the baseline privacy bar without requiring an opt-in change. In the streaming and communications ecosystem, the move puts security front and center for a major real-time media platform that mixes chat, voice, and video. The specific signal to watch is whether Discord expands the same default protection beyond voice and video calls to other communication surfaces, or confirms the rollout scope in more detail.
