Discord

Discord is a proprietary instant messaging and voice chat platform designed for creating communities, that allows users to communicate via text or voice channels, private messaging, and video calls. The service is free-to-use with paid Nitro subscriptions available for additional features. It was founded by Jason Citron and Stanislav Vishnevskiy in 2015 and is currently owned by Microsoft.
