The Discord app allows you to connect with friends via chat or make voice or video calls. You can also play games while on video calls and have fun with friends. Sadly, Discord has not yet been released in the Roku Channel Store, so there is no way to install the app. Alternatively, you can screen mirror Discord to Roku using a mobile or PC. This article explains four possible ways to watch Discord on a Roku device.
