Except that some features are only available in the desktop app like screen sharing.

Another advantage is being able to switch directly to an app instead of remembering which browser instance has which tab.

With Discord specifically I have a weird issue on Linux where my mic works fine in the browser but doesn't work at all in the desktop version.

Screen sharing is available on discord web. I believe the only major feature that is unavailable on the web is push to talk.

First, yeah, that’s why I said “if possible”. Most people use Discord just for text and voice and that works okay inside the browser.

Second, some browsers allow you to create a window for a website that acts as an app on its own. I don’t remember which ones, I think Chrome was one.
