Discord rolls out end-to-end encryption on voice, video calls

Discord announced that all voice and video calls through the communication platform are now protected by default with end-to-end encryption (E2EE).

The implementation was completed in March. Extensive at-scale testing has given Discord the confidence to formally announce the E2EE deployment now, and to start removing client code that supports unencrypted fallback.

Discord is a popular online platform that offers text chat, voice calls, video calls, livestreaming, and community servers for gaming, creators, businesses, and interest-based groups.

It is estimated to have 690 million registered users and more than 200 million monthly active users worldwide.

The migration to E2EE was achieved by extending the open-source encryption protocol DAVE to support all platforms where Discord clients run, including desktop, mobile, web browsers, PlayStation, Xbox, and Discord SDKs.
