Discord has switched on end-to-end encrypted voice and video messaging for every user. The end-to-end encryption feature means that Discord users can now communicate privately without anyone else being able to listen in to their calls, not even Discord. The feature applies to the community's hundreds of millions of users.

Discord launched the end-to-end encrypted voice and video calling feature in 2024. On Monday the company rolled out the feature to every user with no action needed.

End-to-end Encryption is now standard for every voice and video call on Discord, outside of stage channels. No opt-in required, said Mark Smith, Discord's vice president of core technologies, in a blog post.

The development comes soon after social media giant Meta pulled the plug on Instagram's end-to-end encrypted messaging feature earlier this year. TikTok said it would also not end-to-end encrypt user messages after it became a U.S. company.
