Game Chat Tools
Gaming enthusiasts sometimes require software that has a slightly different focus from more mainstream computer users. This includes communication software. For video games to perform their best, these communication apps need to use minimal system resources while also providing high quality audio so you can clearly understand your friends or teammates. That’s where software like Discord comes in as a “game chat” app.
