How to make a call on the server
By default, one server has both text and video chats, with the second one also allowing you to use the camera in conversations. When starting a video chat on the server, any user with permission will be able to access the chat.
It’s up to the server administrator to decide which roles can video call on Discord, or start a conversation.
