Modulate Expands Voice Chat Safety with Discord Social SDK Support

June 5, 2025

SOMERVILLE, MA — June 5, 2025 — Modulate, the leader in proactive voice moderation technology, today announced that its flagship product, ToxMod, is fully compatible with Discord Social SDK.

This integration enables developers to embed Discord-quality voice directly into their games, protected by real-time, privacy-safe moderation through ToxMod — ensuring seamless in-game comms and safer communities, without extra overhead.

How It Works

Studios using Discord Social SDK can easily integrate Modulate’s ToxMod with one simple line of code, allowing studios to send player audio to ToxMod for analysis with no extra lift. With ToxMod analyzing voice audio, studios can proactively detect code of conduct violations in voice chat, including: 

  • Hate speech, slurs, and harassment

  • Bullying and verbal abuse

  • Doxxing attempts and threats

  • Emotional escalation and distress

ToxMod evaluates these voice signals using a proprietary behavioral intelligence pipeline that considers tone, intent, and context — not just keywords. The system flags problematic conversations, prioritizes the most harmful, and provides moderators with context-rich alerts they can act on immediately. 

Built for Studios. Loved by Players.

The Discord Social SDK makes it easier than ever for studios to add voice to their games. With ToxMod compatible, studios can also ensure that voice remains a safe, welcoming space — even in fast-paced, competitive environments.

Key benefits for game developers:

  • Fast, frictionless deployment with Discord’s out-of-the-box SDK

  • No infrastructure changes — audio routing happens behind the scenes

  • Real-time detection without adding latency to player experiences

  • Customizable moderation that fits your studio’s values

Protecting Players, at Scale

ToxMod already protects tens of millions of players in titles like Call of Duty, Rec Room, and Rockstar Games. With this new Discord Social SDK compatibility, the reach of ToxMod expands further — empowering more studios, especially indie and mid-size teams, to deploy best-in-class voice safety tools with minimal lift.

“We’ve always believed voice chat should be immersive, expressive — and safe,” said Mike Pappas, CEO & Co-founder of Modulate. “With Discord Social SDK and ToxMod working together, studios can give players the voice experience they deserve.”
