    For someone that used discord only for video chat and the chat sidebar for D&D since we have players in person and a couple in other states, what would you all recommend?

    Should we just switch to Zoom or something?

      My understanding is that if your community is not adult content and you aren’t on any adult servers, you won’t need to ID verify. But I suspect it’s only a matter of time before all accounts are required to verify.

      Matrix would be great for that. You just need a single room for that sort of thing, and the video support is pretty great.
