Discord Launches Embedded App SDK for Third-Party Developers to Create Apps and Games for Chat PlatformDevelopers will now have the opportunity to integrate their apps and games directly into Discord's Activities section, expanding the entertainment options available to users.

Discord is expanding its chat platform to include third-party services, giving developers the opportunity to create apps and games that can be accessed directly through the platform. This will be made possible through the introduction of an Embedded App SDK, which will be rolled out next week.

The launch of the Embedded App SDK is set for March 18, as confirmed by a blog post on the platform. With this new SDK, developers will be able to build apps and games that can be integrated into the chat platform through an iframe. These apps and games will be featured in Discord's Activities section, offering users both interactive games and text-based apps.

While a few mini-games and apps are already available through Discord's Activities feature, such as poker, chess, mini golf, and YouTube, the platform will soon be open to apps from all developers. This move will broaden the range of entertainment options available to users on the chat platform.
