Original story (published on October 27, 2022) follows:
Discord is one of the world’s most popular messaging services that is particularly designed for gamers and caters to their requirements.
Yet, Discord is more than just a “simple” messaging app. The service allows you to establish entire channels (text and voice) with multiple sections, as well as incorporate bots of various types with different functionalities.
Discord ‘Your files are too powerful’ error
According to multiple reports, Discord app users are facing multiple issues while compressing the video files on the Android app (1,2,3,4,5,6).
When a Discord user attempts to send a video, a ‘Your files are too powerful’ prompt appears on their displays. This popup should appear only if the file size exceeds 8MB.
That’s not the case, though, since many users are having trouble uploading video files that are within this size restriction.
A further issue related to video compression is also being reported. Users claim that once a video is compressed, the audio becomes static and is no longer clear.
The Discord support is already aware of the issue and is working on a fix, but an ETA has not been revealed yet.
Can’t scroll on Discord
Another issue that has been plaguing Discord users is the inability to scroll chat on any server on iOS platform (1,2,3).
Users report that the sidebar works well and that they can access other chats as well. However, when they enter a chat on any Discord server or private, they are unable to scroll through the messages.
Others report being unable to type a message as well.
As it turns out, Discord support has acknowledged the issue and said a fix is underway. But there is no timeframe on when the problem will be resolved.
Until then, we will keep an eye on the situation and update this article as new information becomes available, so keep checking this space.
