Enabling video chat

Remember that huge-ass update you all received?

Yeah, that was the video chat update, but it was only enabled under one of three circumstances;

  • Give $5 mo. / $50 yr. for Discord Nitro
  • Be the ultra-elite shills selected for Discord HypeSquad
  • Be the randomly-selected 5% who were blessed by RNGesus

However there is a fourth way, and that is to... just enable it. But you need to access Discord Experiments first, which is what the two sections below will help you do. It would also help if you disabled hiding of known file extensions in Explorer; Google that.

The easy hack-free way

The slightly more difficult, more hackish way (Once per restart)

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + I
  • Click the Sources tab
  • Expand assets under discordapp.com
  • Scroll to and select https://discordapp.com/assets/ab42e5405fbbf65c60f5.js
  • Click on the braces at the bottom left to pretty-print it.
  • Scroll to line 72865 and click on the line number to set a breakpoint there
  • Go to a different server to engage the breakpoint (Discord will be frozen)
  • Select the Console tab, and submit this command; S=1
    • Should output 1 if done correctly
  • Either close element inspector or disengage the breakpoint
  • Proceed to last section

(Finally) Enabling video chat

  • Open user settings, select Experiments
  • Scroll to Video Calling, select User, and Treatment 1
  • Restart Discord

If successful, a new change log will appear congratulating you for being selected to participate in the video chatting beta. Enjoy.
