#2So basically, it's just a slack call with the video off?

#3I wish discord would support fast account user switching. I vastly prefer it to slack but I also enjoy having good workplace hygiene so having my gaming friends pop up during my work hours is less than ideal.

Agreed, I don't love the fact that my username is tied to all my discord activity. For my friend-based Discord's that's fine but for larger communities or ones that I'd prefer to just be anonymous it's annoying that I either have to tie it all together or I have to log out/in constantly.

I don't think so, it's more like a Discord Voice Channel - ie it's always on, and you can enter or leave whenever without needing to start up or tear down a call or invite anyone

I use the Discord PTB (public test build) and the stable client to separate out personal and professional.
It's less than ideal though, it would be so much better if Discord supported multiple accounts

Tech-wise, maybe, culturally it makes a difference.

#8I really like this idea and think it would be very useful for our team. I do worry how well it will work because I've never used a less reliable voice chat in my life than Slack calls. My entire team has problems with it about half the time and it has never gotten better.

I use Discord in different browsers to keep separate accounts active at the same time. It works pretty well in Firefox and Edge. Running in the browser also means discord can't snoop on what apps you have installed or what games you're running and report them back to home base which is another plus.

Not supporting multiple identities is discords biggest feature gap IMO.
On windows you can use sandboxie to start multiple instances in parallel using different credentials, but it's somewhat annoying to use and breaks occasionally.
