Finding teammates is the beginning. Communities are where a group that keeps playing together turns into something that lasts — text channels for the day-to-day, voice rooms you can drop into, and permissions that let you decide who sees what.
Give it a name, a logo and a banner. You get text and voice channels that you can group into categories from the start.
Share an invite link. You decide who is allowed to create them, so an open community and a closed one are both a setting away.
Roles carry colours and permissions, and a member can hold several. Each channel can then override those permissions, so a leadership channel or a read-only announcements channel takes a moment to set up.
Text channels support replies, mentions, reactions and file sharing. Voice rooms are one click, and you can see who is already in a room before joining it.
Background noise filtering runs before your voice leaves your machine, so fans and keyboards do not travel with it. You can share your screen or turn on your camera, use push-to-talk, and set how loudly each person comes through for you alone. A connection quality readout tells you whether a problem is yours or theirs.
A channel you cannot see does not reach you at all — not its messages, not who is typing, not who is sitting in its voice room. That check happens on the server rather than being a matter of what the app chooses to draw, so a private channel is genuinely private.
Muting someone in voice holds across the whole community and survives them leaving and rejoining, because a mute that resets itself is not moderation. Channels can have a capacity limit, and you can hand out the ability to moderate without handing out everything else.
Unread channels are marked, and a whole community can be marked read at once. Notifications for a community can be turned off entirely — a community you visit for one game a month should not be lighting up your phone.
As many as you allow. Each voice channel can have its own capacity limit, or none at all.
Yes. Permissions are set per role and can then be overridden per channel, down to a single member. A channel someone cannot view is invisible to them rather than locked in front of them.
Yes. People who are not watching your stream do not download it, so you are not spending bandwidth on people who are not looking.
You need to hand ownership to someone else or close the community first. Deleting an account cannot leave a community with nobody able to run it.
