C'mon man. You sound like Robert Durst's lawyers.

You do realise I was trying to make it sound unfeasible that this doesn't prove you need your phone?

Wow. I'm so sorry. I read your comment completely and utterlly wrong. I clearly need some coffee.

The only time I get a notification on Discord is when someone mentions me or PMs me. Not really when others log online, or use the voice chat.

I see. Some good ideas for Discord devs to implement in the future. Can you tell when others are on the Discord app?

Yes, you can have a friends list which says their online status, and on the servers you use it has who's online at the side.

If I were you, I'd look into alternatives.

Sounds good. People who want voice chat should use Discord. Hope Discord gets a bunch of new users as a result of Switch's complicated voice chat setup.

Just why? You have bluetooth on the switch Nintendo.... Let us use it god damn it

Same reason Sony doesn't do it, it drains power 

Do you have any idea how little power consumption of wifi and bluetooth matter on a device like Switch with a giant screen and big battery? Apparently not.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Poor iphone 7 users tho. All that apple greatness yet you can't use it with the switch and charge your iphone at the same time. Unless you are courageous enough to get a dongle and add more stuff into this mess.

So much for a wireless future eh?

I won't be using this so the future is pretty wireless for me.



What's the voice chat solution for 2 people wanting to use headsets in splitscreen online?
