Discord is a voice chat application available for PC games, it is one of the most popular thanks to its interface and in-game overlay options which makes the experience as complete as possible. In Discord we can enable the Overlay to integrate voice and text chat in the games, this will make the game unique and easier when talking to other users..
In Discord it is possible to configure the overlay (enable it or not) and set it individually for each app or game. Thanks to the overlay we will be able to communicate with other players without having to remove the game and thus we can talk on Skype while we play without having to use the overlay.
