The only thing they will ever fine-tune and make better at some point is this weird interconnection with the Xbox app, cause it kinda has no purpose and is the main reason why it feels a bit weird to use. I don't even know why this is a thing, I guess it's because of weird law reason of telling you "if you click connect now, it's Discord who's responsible" other than that, I don't know. If I connect Spotify to my console, PS and Xbox, it goes directly to the system via the same network, easy and instantly without any Xbox app confirming. So I can definitely see them trimming it away in the future so it really feels seamless.
I can't see them ever making a separate app and I'm kinda shocked how many people now say they would want that, cause it's just unnecessary.
As if anyone here would ever want to start an extra app on the console, scroll through all your channels and then audio channels with a controller before starting your game, and then when you want to do something, change group etc. change back to the app and do that manually on the console. Like.... come on.
If you want to play something via Spotify do you start the extra console app, go through your playlist there and start something, maybe even use the search bar with your controller? Of course not. You start your phone app, super fast slide and switch through the stuff you want and press play on Console X, done.
If they can eliminate this weird Xbox App process and you can even faster join a channel with just clicking on it on your phone and it automatically opens on the console on which you're already sitting and playing with your headset anyway, that's all you really need for convenience, you will feel silly for ever wanting an extra console app once they streamline this.
Like this is the whole misunderstanding in one posting. It's not, it simply isn't. Yes the account connection, the first step is a bit buggy currently, but once you have it connected, you never have to do that again and from here on, it's just choosing a Discord voice channel, click on Xbox (like you would choose Xbox/PS/TV for playing songs via Spotify after deciding the song/playlist) and then before seamlessly opening the chat on your console, it sends you to the Xbox app where there is just one more click which is basically accepting the terms of service and the chat starts and you can close everything.
It's just one more redirection than you usually have and it's like 5 seconds or so, it's nothing even close to what Nintendo did.
oh my bad! so ya only have to do this ONCE on your phone? so every time after that you never use your phone? i will try this out later on my xbox and hopefully like ya said if i turn off my xbox and turn it on i dont need the app to get in again.
