Yeah, discord has channels. But it really is setup to handle exactly what you are interested in. I’m sure there are lots of 5min videos that’ll show exactly how to use it for your purpose. Theoretically that would help the less technical members. Good luck in your pursuits whichever way you go!To be honest, it's been so long since we walked away from Discord, I don't even remember the exact reasons.
I remember hearing about how simple and intuitive it was, and discovering that it was neither. We originally adopted it because it had a dice-roller feature, but then discovered that you could only use it in chat mode, not on a video-conference call. Kind of shot itself in the foot there.
Skype, on the other hand, really was simple. (I have a few players who are really, seriously tech-impaired.) Simple is best.
I use it everyday for work. It is far more useful than other programs including its ability to file share, chat channel etc.Teams...

Thats.... not my experience with discord... Teams runs poorly for me (not that poorly tho), often cuts in and out, and this is my personal bias, but a vendor I work with that I loathe insists on using it.I use it everyday for work. It is far more useful than other programs including its ability to file share, chat channel etc.
I never tried it for gaming. I use Discord but detest how it can strain the PC. I have gigabyte speeds and two people in the same house cannot use video at same time without turning a 10ms into a 500ms ping.
I’ve played a roll20 game but we found the voice feature to be basically nonfunctional. Continual dropouts, and absolute refusal to work for all players at once. We ended up switching it off and running the game on roll20 but the voice over a Facebook messenger call.If you use Roll20, I know there's a voice feature option, but we've never used it.
