In-Depth Guide on Discord Hypesquad [Tutorial]

Getting started with Discord Hypesquad

Discord is a communication app for gamers that lets you easily voice chat, share photos and videos, and join channels with your friends. It’s free and secure, making it the perfect platform for gaming communities of all sizes. It is the latest in a long line of voice chat apps for gamers, but it’s also the first to offer a comprehensive set of features for free. Unlike its predecessors, Discord is completely free to use and offers a server browser, voice and video messaging, and a rich set of customization options. Discord also differentiates itself by being more secure and stable than other voice chat apps. It uses an encrypted server connection to ensure that your data is always safe. And because it’s built on the same infrastructure as Slack, Discord is able to offer a rock-solid voice and video platform. It also offers its members of the Discord community to be selected to rep the service online, and at events around the world, the Hypesquad. 

 

What is Discord Hypesquad?

The Hypesquad are, as stated, members of the Discord community selected to rep the service online, and at events around the world. Hypesquad members are considered as ambassadors for Discord.

It is an exclusive Discord group for people that are extra enthusiastic about the 250 million user application. You go through a brief "test to see how hyped you are," according to Discord. Be aware that not everyone who applies is accepted. Therefore, if you don't succeed, it's the end of the line for you.

There are 3 houses, and 3 tiers namely: Bravery, Brilliance and Balance.

 

1. Bravery

"The universe needs people to lead the charge with confident optimism and tenacity. Without the brave, the HypeSquad would descend into chaos."

 

2. Brilliance

"It takes patience and discipline to become a vital member of the universe. Without brilliance, the Hypesquad would descend into chaos."

 

3. Balance

"Harmony and poise are necessary to create equilibrium in the universe. Without Balance, the Hypesquad would descend into chaos."
