Discord has added video to Stage Channels, a broadcast function similar to Twitter Spaces

Since video consumes much more bandwidth than audio, Discord has set certain restrictions. Every server that has enabled the free Community features may allow video and screen sharing in Stages with up to 50 individuals, including the hosts. Yet, Discord points out that this is more than twice the maximum viewer capacity for video chat in standard speech channels. In Tier 2, boosted servers may host up to 150 players on a video Stage and 300 at Tier 3.

Nevertheless, text chat is the same as voice chat. In the top right of the panel, click “Show Chat” to ask questions or comment on what the speakers are talking about. Moreover, moderators have the flexibility to only allow users with particular defined responsibilities to share video or their screen on a server.
