One of the biggest reasons Discord took off for my group over mumble was the ease in inviting strangers on an MMO and they didn't even need the app. Getting strangers into voice comms is kind of non-negotiable for difficult raiding when you need a sub.
That said, my group is used to streaming for each other and quite a few have nitro for sound board, profile stuff, etc, so it'd be a hard sell unless a more feature rich option comes along. I have the power to persuade them to join me on another platform, but only once and I'm not about to waste that chance until I know their needs are met. Steam got close, but it failed us when we used it for the brief days that Discord was down.
I'll just be a teen account until there's a suitable alternative, or do the stupid fake image of a guy trick the Brits taught me, lol.
