Discord users on Meta Quest headsets can now enjoy the social platform as a dedicated native app, a long-awaited development that promises smoother VR integration. The app supports core features like server access, direct messages, and voice calls, with enhancements tailored to VR, including automatic microphone activation during calls and a pinned interface that stays visible in-game. Gamers can stream gameplay directly to Discord from the Meta Quest headset and interact via their Meta avatars during calls, blending social interaction with immersive experiences.

The rollout follows a year-long wait since Meta first announced the partnership at its 2023 Connect conference, where users previously relied on sideloaded workarounds.
