Discord, the popular text and video chat site, is solving one of its biggest problems: It's finally increased its file upload size limit.
All users, whether they are Nitro Basic or Nitro Discord subscribers, can now send files and images up to 25MB, which is a huge increase from the paltry 8MB that non-paying users have been blocked for years. The announcement was made via the official Discord Twitter account (opens in a new tab) on April 10 and is effective immediately for all Discord users to enjoy.

It's a smart move, given that the change in quality of life will affect Discord's 196 million users and its growing user base. Years ago, a file upload limit of 8MB was more than enough, but as image and file sizes have grown rapidly over time, this change is long overdue.
And if you need an even bigger file size limit, Nitro Basic subscribers can double the limit to 50MB for €3 per month. The highest tier, Nitro, will give subscribers a 500MB file size limit for €10 a month, along with other perks like 4K video streaming and more emoji to post.
Discord should keep new features and updates free
Seeing Discord ready to fix long-term issues like the file update limit bodes well for the 200 million or so users, as the service will most likely be looking for other features to add and update. And because this recent quality of life change is aimed at non-Nitro subscribers, Discord hasn't forgotten about non-paying members either.
Another new feature that Discord recently released for a limited number of servers is Soundboard (Opens in a new tab), which allows users to upload and share an audio clip to a voice channel that can then be heard by everyone on that channel. same voice channel. It's simple, silly and fun to increase interactivity within a server community.
And best of all, Soundboard starts out as a free service, with eight pre-loaded audio slots for server members available. Of course, by boosting a server and increasing its level, you can add more audio slots, but the tool doesn't initially charge.
If well estoy seguro de que Discord obtiene una significant parte de los ingresos de las suscripciones pagas de Nitro, es important tener muchos servicios gratuitos para la gran mayoría de los usuarios que no están suscritos. Word of mouth among this base has always been an effective promotional tool, and leveraging such a large audience willing to test out these new features builds goodwill while garnering valuable feedback and data for potential upgrades. al day.
