There's a reason Discord is the default chat app when you want to play games with friends. It's easy to set up, latency is low, audio quality is often excellent, and oh yea, it's free. Say what you will about its occasionally irritating updates, ad-shaped "quests", and its overuse as a replacement for traditional forums (and we will), but Discord is the undisputed king of voice and video sharing.
Discord is so good that, slowly but surely, both Microsoft and Sony have embraced the app on their consoles despite launching their own, much worse options for voice chat. We all could have guessed that Nintendo, the undisputed king of disappointing online features, wasn't going to welcome Discord onto its closed platform with the Switch 2.
