Discord ups Go Live, screen share limit in light of coronavirus

Discord will up Go Live streaming and screen share limits to help users work from home more effectively in the light of the coronavirus.

In light of COVID-19, we’re temporarily upping the Go Live streaming and screen share limit from 10 to 50 people for the next few months.

Discord on Twitter

We know a lot of you around the world are currently using Discord to keep in touch and perform daily tasks from keeping up with classes to working from home. We want to help make your world a little less stressful.

We’ll keep this limit up wihle it’s most critically needed. Please have patience with us as performance issues may arise in streams with a large number of people.

The ESA officially cancelled E3 2020 and the Overwatch League cancelled live events in March and April because of coronavirus concerns.

Great as this is, why not just keep the limit at that? Why restrict so much in the first place?
