Direct Messages (in short DMs) are a minimalist version of Discord guilds between multiple users. They don't have a permission system, and they only have one text channel. Users can only be invited directly by friends, unlike guilds where this has to be done using an instant invite link.

Regular Direct Messages

  • Between exactly 2 users
  • No permissions
  • External emotes allowed
  • No need to be friends (depending on settings)
  • Must share a server (depending on settings)

Group Messages

  • Between at least 3 users
  • No permissions
  • Users may only add their friends
  • Bots can't be added
  • DM Owner has a crown icon beside their name

Video Calling and Screensharing are available in both types of group messages.
