Discord has introduced end-to-end encrypted voice and video calling for all users, ensuring private communication without external access, including from Discord itself. This move follows Meta's discontinuation of Instagram's encrypted messaging and TikTok's decision against encryption. Mark Smith, Discord's VP of core technologies, confirmed that this feature is now standard for all calls, requiring no user action.
