Buckle in boyos because Discord made four new UI Concepts and three experimental features that I am going to glaze from Infinity to Beyond now the main event of this glazing session is discord's future look survey which was sent to me by a viewer bird thank you very much but Discord has this survey where it asks you to review some Concepts now these Concepts I'm going to be honest we might see these in 2 years or 200 years so don't get your hopes up but this is the first concept that Discord gave us it's revolutionary baby we living in 2050 with this bad boy no okay I'll be honest here this looks exactly like Discord but with this concept there is the activity tab which you might have seen if you watch my videos but basically if your friends are playing a game it'll be in this little tab that you can collapse but other than that things look pretty much identical I mean reactions look a little bit different higher contrast and if you look at a Discord invite to a group or a server it also looks slightly different I'm giving this bad boy a five out of 10 because it looks exactly like Discord and that is our Baseline anything below five means it looks worse now prepare yourself because this is the second concept which I like to call Discord mobile but on desktop because it basically looks exactly like the Discord mobile app you can see that on the left we have all these rounded corners and big buttons which would be perfect for your massive sausage fingers but considering you're watching my video you're probably on the internet too much so you have the carpal tunnel syndrome in your wrist so actually this would work well and honestly feel free to pause and look for a non-rounded corner because it doesn't exist I spent like 5 minutes looking for it everything is round okay and it actually looks good but if you use the Discord mobile app there's really not much to explain here everything looks the same except again we have this activity tab which does have bigger banners so it does fill up more space but again it seems like you can collapse the menu and you can collapse online and offline that'd be nice to have and again inviting someone to a Discord group looks slightly different now overall I give this bad boy a good solid 8 out of 10 like it looks good this is a Discord 2.0 for sure and it also has the same design language as the Discord mobile app I'm basically trying to tell you in many different ways that if discord's going to change the UI it'll probably look like this but we still have two more Concepts left and let's take a look at the third concept which is uh I'm just going to call it transparency for pretty transparent reasons because it's transparent now I'm going to be honest with you I am not a transparency guy I do not care if my phone is see-through or this transparent garbage because to me the word transparency means that my computer's going to lag if I try dragging this window around so with this concept I'm concerned that uh people with older computers will struggle to use Discord and like if it's hard for you to read things because you don't have your glasses on or you're just way too zooted to be on the computer then this transparency stuff definitely makes it hard to read but but if this was an actual thing that Discord put in the app there would probably be a setting to just turn off all transparency overall though I kind of give it a 6 out of 10 it feels just like a client modification theme that you can get if you install ven cord or better Discord just in my opinion it's not as interesting as the final concept uh which I'm code naming straight cooking baby now it should be pretty clear this does not look like Discord this is what Discord would probably look like if Microsoft actually bought it first if we take a look at the Discord server picker you'll notice that now when you click on a server your whole entire Banner actually spans the back of the application which looks really cool but most people don't have like fancy art that works well for their Banner so it might look like absolute hot garbage or maybe Discord will add a feature where you can just pick your own colors and it'll like kind of theme your client let moving down we have a calendar Channel List member list more you have your normal Discord channels and then if we move around the biggest change and look on the right we still have our activity tab but now every single activity is this big banner which again it looks like you can collapse it so thank goodness I don't need to get like half of my Discord client filled up with people playing video games but I will just say right now everything beautiful and finally for the main event the chat menu the chat menu actually pops out of the middle of Discord which I just realized I hope there's not like some crazy animations cuz you know YouTube videos when they have like the a whole bunch of transitions it's awful it's impossible to deal with in this pop-up chat menu you can see it it looks like every other chat platform because instead of having all the messages on the left if you send a message it now appears on the right which a lot of Die Hard Discord fans will probably not like this it doesn't look like Discord to be honest though I actually don't mind it yeah fight me however the thing that I don't entirely like in my personal opinion again this is all personal opinions you could disagree with me but you'd be wrong but if we look at this message down here it has a whole bunch of reactions which aren't organized in like a little box it's just spread all over the message which I'm personally not a fan of it but I'd probably just grow into it and grow up and deal with the change and the final change of this concept is that invite links are now kind of this Banner thing which probably matches the banner of the background of the server but this invite looks really nice but I also like seeing how many people are in a Discord server before I'm forced to join it but giving this concept a rating that is arbitrary and means nothing I give it a solid 10 out of 10 Discord is cooking here but my favorite concept that gets 11 out of 10 is this one here it's where Discord is completely unusable so I can go outside now let's move on to some experimental features because unlike those Concepts that I just showed you that will be in Discord in like 2 to 200 years there's an experiment right now called global Discovery and if I enable this experiment and go back to my Discord and go to the Discovery tab new UI that's actually in the app right now which we'll see probably in a couple months if Discord decides to actually add this because again experiments Discord can just pretend they never exist and it'll never get released but taking a look we have our normal Discovery page for servers there's gaming music servers you can click through them it is literally the exact same thing except it looks actually pretty good I'm a sucker for basic gradients and rounded corners but then we have this apps page which is you can see works like a hot damn but in that page it's probably supposed to be discord's app directory it's just this page but inside of this big box here the rest of these tabs aren't blank pages because if I click on quests there is this new Quest homepage which shows you all the active Discord quests you have Discord you have fortnite Minecraft Call of Duty and I just want to point out with these Discord and fortnite ones these Avatar decorations last for 2 months which just feels like a waste of time but with this Quest page you can accept quests you can learn more about quests and you can also see your claim quests if the page worked and finally there is the Discord shop tab which doesn't work but it should be pretty simple it's going to just show you the Discord shop and by some modern-day Miracle this feature actually worked or something happened but Discord now has this popular pick section which will show you all the popular Discord Avatar decorations and profile effects that people buy and you'll notice the most popular one is Twilight which is incorrect the most popular one is actually cat ears I bought them already so they don't show up on my shop but Discord users never change we all know you're closeted fem boys it just happens all right shifting gears my 2004 base model Toyota echko with a burnt out clutch we're looking at the next experiment which is message bookmarks but I love this experiment because what it allows you to do is that if you go to a Discord message you can click on the more dots or the three dots that go to more but you'll see this bookmark message button and when you click on the button you will bookmark the message revolutionary but to see your bookmarks you need to go to your top right go to your inbox and you now have this new tab called bookmarks right now it doesn't work and that's why I'm looking on Discord previews because they have a screenshot of how this will look when it actually starts working imagine pinning messages but for yourself only it's your personal collection of pins so you can see from different servers from DMS as well you can bookmark messages for you to look at later there's probably some weirdos that are going to use this for stalkerish reasons and when you do bookmark a message it doesn't tell anyone but that's really not a big deal because there is literally nothing stopping me if I wanted to bookmark this message I could just screenshot it and they would never know I screenshoted it however in terms of actually using this thing it is basically a glorified to-do list at least in my eyes I'm at the age now where if something isn't written down or put in a calendar it disappears from my brain just like how my dad disappeared from my life but right now it seems like this bookmarks feature won't be useful for most people but that's where I let you in on a little secret it actually turns out this bookmarks feature is something that Discord staff have had for a long time in fact in 2022 on the 8th month which is January 5th August Discord actually had their staffon feature called message to-do list and when you enable this experiment and you go back to a message what it allows you to do is actually set a message reminder Discord reminds me in a week that I need to shower and again where those messages go is in your inbox in the message reminder wow it it just got chopped off but it gets put in the message reminder tab now here's the thing both bookmarks and message reminders are actually based on the exact same system they call the same Discord endpoints which means that Discord should be able to merge these two features together so now you can have bookmarks where you can save messages and have a reminder on them so that you actually do the thing that people tell you to do and the final experiment we're going to look at is the IC M or the in case you missed it experiment but basically Discord is working on a new tab on your mobile app called the in case you missed it tab little warning this is super duper Early Access experimental and pre-alpha which means it'll probably take six or more months for this to become a feature a whole bunch of things will change before you get to use this what this in case you missed it feature does is it adds a new tab to your Discord mobile app and yes redditors there are now five buttons at the very bottom of Discord we'll get into that later but what this feature does is it shows you a whole bunch of announcements from your Discord servers all in one place so this is an announcement from a Discord server and you can react to the message and you can also forward it now if Discord controlled everything that popped up in this menu it' probably be the most useless Discord feature on the planet but ladies and gentlemen there is hope because you actually can customize it you can go to your options and you can allow it to show NSFW content and if you use Discord for that then I am greatly disappointed in you but you also have the option of adjusting which servers and channels show up in your in case you missed it Tab and when Discord says advance options they really do mean it because there is a lot of customization you can pick which server that you want to specifically Target then you can go through that server and pick specific channels or just completely disable the server and you get to customize the scoring of each Channel which basically is saying do you want to see more from this channel do you want to see less from this channel don't want to change anything or do you want to completely remove this channel from the in case you missed it tab if your brain completely turned off there for the past 30 seconds basically you can customize this in case you missed a tab up the Wazoo in fact this thing is even more nerdy than the bookmark feature and I don't even know how that's possible but as with any Discord mobile feature people eventually will complain and the biggest complaint that I saw so far is that the in case you missed it button now fills up the bottom of your Discord mobile app and now there are six whole buttons please don't ask me what The Happening tab is I have no idea and thank goodness I don't have to read all the complaining comments because believe it or not Discord does in fact have the option to disable the tab entirely and since on my normal Discord account I am in a whopping one server I will probably turn this off but thank you Discord for giving us the option anyways Gamers Discord hired a whole bunch of underpaid individ I mean interns for the summer so we might actually see a whole bunch of cool features but that's all for now and make sure to kiss your mama m
