BetterDiscord

What is BetterDiscord?

Let’s start from the basics.

BetterDiscord is a modified version of Discord. There are a lot of features that we wish were available on Discord. BetterDiscord comes with all such features like the option to customize the look and design including layout using themes, extend the functionalities by adding plugins, and more.

In short, BetterDiscord comes with more features and customization options when compared with the original Discord. At the same time, it also supports all Discord Bots out there as well.

BetterDiscord is available for both Windows as well as macOS. It is not available for Android, iOS, and Web. At the time of writing this article, BetterDiscord has about 5 million installations globally (As per the official website.)

Features of BetterDiscord

In this section, let’s take a look at some amazing features available on BetterDiscord. You can find a ton of them. I will list some highlighted features of BetterDiscord below.

Use Discord Themes

One of the main reasons why a lot of people prefer using BetterDiscord is the support for themes. You can change the entire look of Discord’s UI using different themes available on the Themes Library. Applying a theme is fairly simple as well.

BetterDiscord Themes

All you have to do is just download the package and copy-paste it into a specific theme directory. Once done, refreshing Discord will activate the theme, and the layout, color combination, fonts, etc changes in a matter of a fraction of a second.

Discord Plugins

We have the option to add bots in the original Discord but it does not support the use of plugins. But BetterDiscord comes with support for custom plugins that you can use to extend the functionality of the popular VoIP-based chatting application for gamers.

BetterDiscord Plugins

You can find lots of different Discord Plugins like SpotifyControls, VolumeBooster, SendLargeMessages, etc in the plugin repository. I really liked the option to add plugins as it let us add some cool features to our server which would otherwise be impossible using original Discord.

Support for Twitch Emotes

Yes, you heard it right. How about using various Twitch emotes on Discord. Well, BetterDiscord lets you do exactly the same. You can use your favorite BTTV and FFZ emote in Discord and it will work with all other BD(BetterDiscord) users out there.

Security

If you are concerned about security, be assured that all the plugins and themes you download from the library are manually verified for malicious codes.

CSS Editor

Ever thought of customizing the look of Discord just like editing a website’s CSS? Well, the CSS editor on BetterDiscord lets you do the same. Using the editor, you can edit different aspects of Discord software’s layout in real-time.

Other Misc Features

Apart from these main features, BetterDiscord comes with a lot of minute features that a lot of people will find useful. Furthermore, the availability of plugins makes it even better by adding functionalities that you might have never thought of in the first place.

Is BetterDiscord Safe?

This is by far one of the most asked questions regarding BetterDiscord. Well, if you ask me, I haven’t felt any problem in using BetterDiscord and its services. Nearly 5 million people are using BetterDiscord on a daily basis. That makes it look promising.

At the same time, there are a lot of people who have complained that their account got banned after using BetterDiscord and its services. These people used many plugins extensively and got banned is what they say. I am not quite sure about that.
