Minimising the window would achieve that, it's not necessary for closing it to also do so.

Closing the window frees up some video RAM, as you are no longer processing and displaying video streams from the voice/video chat. Minimizing the window keeps that RAM in active use.

Then that's also an issue that Discord should work on.

The majority of that issue IIRC lies upon the Microsoft Window Manager, and if true, not much Discord can do about that.

Sure, but if Discord is processing and displaying something, Discord can change that behaviour when it's minimised.

huh? He just explained how that's not how it works. Are you suggesting Discord to mail angry comments to windows' window manager team?

Discord is choosing to display things and can tell if you have minimised it, they don't need Windows to make any changes.
