Server-based chat platform Discord is rolling out a new feature called ‘Go Live’ that builds a small-scale streaming platform directly into Discord itself, an addition that aims to replicate the feeling of playing games on the couch with your best pals.<\/p>\n

To help recapture those glory days, Go Live will allow users to stream gameplay to up to 10 friends in their server while hanging out together in voice chat.<\/p>\n

“Go Live keeps things simple — there’s no complicated set-up, and it’s just one click to stream a game to a server,” explained Discord in a press release. “Friends can view your stream from anywhere using the desktop app or by browser (mobile spectating coming by end of year).”<\/p>\n

“Plus, Go Live is hardware optimized so you can stream with minimal impact to your game performance. Go Live delivers a virtual couch gaming experience, making any game more social by inviting friends to watch and chat along with you.” <\/p>\n

Discord Classic users will be able to use Go Live to host 1080p streams at up to 60fps, while those using Discord Nitro — the platform’s premium subscription service<\/a> — will unlock the ability to host 4K streams.<\/p>\n

Go Live will begin rolling out to users starting on August 15, and should be available to everybody on Discord within two weeks of launch.<\/p>\n
