When we launched Family Center in 2023, we wanted to help families build trust and have meaningful conversations with their teens about how they use Discord. Guardians could see which servers their teens join and which friends they add to encourage dialogue to help everyone feel safer online together. Starting today, we’ve begun rolling out some new updates to Family Center that give guardians more tools to help them stay informed and play a more active role in supporting their teens’ online experiences. 💡 What's New Starting this week, for guardians who have already linked to their teen’s Discord account, Family Center will include: - More insight into teen activity, such as total purchases, time spent in voice and video calls, and top users and servers they’ve messaged or called.  - A new option for teens to notify their guardians when they submit a report. - Guardian-managed settings for direct messages, sensitive content filters, and select data privacy controls. 🔒 Built With Teens in Mind  Teens will always see the same information as their guardians. Message content remains private, and every feature is designed to encourage collaboration, not control. Learn more in our safety center article: https://lnkd.in/guRDYbDM

We’re excited to partner with EMARKETER on our latest research report: Beyond Gaming: How Rewarded Ads are Leveling Up! This new research shows how brands and agencies are embracing rewarded advertising formats like Discord Quests. In an ad-saturated world where attention is harder to hold, rewarded ads stand out by offering a genuine value exchange, creating positive engagement for consumers and helping brands foster deeper connections. 📊 Over half (52.9%) of the brand marketers who responded to the survey plan to use the format in a future campaign, and over two-thirds believe rewarded ads are either somewhat or very effective at engaging with tech-savvy or hard-to-reach audiences. Check out the full report below for all the insights to take your campaign to the next level. 🎮 Learn more about Discord’s Quests by reaching out to our team at https://lnkd.in/eqs9tx9D #DiscordQuests

🚀 Big shoutout to our own Stanislav Vishnevskiy, who joined Eden Chen and Kevin Zhang on the Gaming Founders podcast to share timeless lessons from Discord’s journey—what it really takes to find product-market fit, turn users into evangelists, and why authentic connections will always beat flashy tactics. 🎯 His reminder: If your own friends—who are the target audience—won’t use your product, then you don’t really have a product. In a world where game discovery is harder than ever, Discord is where developers, creators, and players already meet. That’s our unique role in helping great games and communities thrive.
