The browser version of Discord can’t be accessed on a mobile device. You’ll have to download the app to use Discord on your phone.
The far left side of the screen is where Direct Messages will show up and where any servers you’ve joined will show up. The left side of the screen will be either your Friends List or a list of channels in a server, depending on whether you’re on the Direct Message screen or a Discord server, respectively. Underneath these lists will be your username and profile image, your “online” status, whether your microphone is muted, whether your headphones are “deafened”, and your settings. The center of the screen is the chat messages. If you’re on the Direct Message screen without a chat open, it will either be the Activity page or your Friends list. The right side of the screen, if you’re on a server or group DM, will be the list of members on the server and their roles. If you’re on Direct Messages, this won’t appear. If you search something in the search bar up at the top right, the search results will appear on the right-hand side and hide the member list.

Friends can invite you to a server directly through Discord. If you have a link to a Discord server, click on the link and you’ll join the server.
Right-click on a Discord user’s name, or use the search function to search for a list of users in channels that you’ve joined. Click on Add Friend. You can also add someone directly through their Discord tag; go to your Friends list, click Add Friend, and enter their Discord tag (which would appear as Username#1234, with the numbers being randomized). Wait for the person to accept or deny your friend request. If they accept it, they’ll appear in your friends list.
To call a single person via Direct Message, you’ll need to be on their Friends list. Click on the button that looks like a phone (or the camera, if you’d like to video call), or right-click their name and click Call. To call multiple people in a group DM, access the group DM and click on the phone (if you want to voice call) or the camera (if you want to video call). To voice-chat with users on a server, click on the voice channel that you want to join and you’ll connect to the server.
If you’ve been blocked by a user, any attempts to DM them will be met with an automated response saying that your message was not delivered.
