Discord Launches Orbs Globally: New Virtual Rewards Transform Brand Interactions into More Player Benefits
SAN FRANCISCO, July 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Discord announces the global launch of Orbs, a new virtual reward players can earn by completing Quests – the platform's opt-in reward-based advertising experience. This milestone launch marks the next evolution of Discord's advertising offering, which invites players to engage with brands through actions that fit authentically within their gaming experience.
Orbs opens opportunities for more premium experiences on Discord for all users by offering access to the Shop and Discord Nitro without a monetary commitment. Users can redeem Orbs in the Shop for new, Orbs-exclusive items like Nitro credits – a limited time access version of Discord's premium subscription that offers enhanced streaming and customization features – as well as a unique profile badge, and a matching profile effect and avatar decoration. Beyond these exclusives, Orbs also provides an alternative path to obtain many popular Shop collections without spending money.
Developed based on feedback from Discord's most dedicated users, Orbs is a feature that reflects Discord's user-first approach to building products and advertising solutions. A recent survey of Discord users revealed that 82% of respondents said they would want to earn a virtual currency on Discord with 46% saying that a virtual currency would improve their experience on the platform [Source: Discord user survey, September 2024].
During its recent beta, millions of Orbs were earned and redeemed over the seven-week pilot, driving a 16x increase in first-time Shop purchasers with 79% first-time Shop buyers. For advertisers, Orbs make campaign launches even easier – advertisers no longer need to create their own reward or wonder if their reward will resonate with their target audience.
'By rewarding players with something they value, Discord is giving brands the ability to create an advertising experience that feels like gameplay,' said Peter Sellis, Senior Vice President of Product at Discord. 'Our focus is solely on creating the most authentic, player-centric advertising platform in the galaxy. With the launch of Orbs, we're helping brands drive discovery and engagement in a way that feels natural to how people already use Discord.'
Since launching its advertising program one year ago, Discord is scaling its advertising business with a deliberate, user-first approach to offer more authentic experiences for players with its reward-based ad solution, Quests, while also unlocking opportunities for advertisers to tap into the massive and uniquely engaged audience on the platform.
Quests make brands feel like they're 'part of the mission' rather than an interruption. In fact, more than 50% of users who have seen or interacted with a Quest in the past month say that Quests improve their experience on Discord with players even proactively seeking out new Quests to complete. [Source: 2025 Discord internal survey of ~1,000 Quests users].
Orbs are now available to Discord's more than 200 million monthly active users. Discord will continue to look for ways to expand how users can redeem Orbs and offer Nitro subscribers more compelling rewards and deals across the ecosystem.

Orchestry Launches Game-changing Tools for Microsoft 365 Security and Governance
VANCOUVER, BC, July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – Orchestry, a leading Microsoft 365 management platform, has announced the release of two highly anticipated features: sharing links reporting and remediation, and broken inheritance reporting and remediation. These innovative tools are designed to provide organizations with unparalleled visibility and control over permissions, addressing critical security risks and compliance challenges. Controlling permissions and ensuring secure access in Microsoft 365 environments has long been a headache for IT teams, particularly with thousands of shared files and folders creating unseen vulnerabilities. Orchestry's new sharing links reporting and remediation feature offers a cutting-edge solution, efficiently identifying outdated or risky sharing links, and dramatically reducing the need for time-intensive manual audits. 'The sharing links reporting and remediation feature is a game-changer, helping customers scan an average of 40,000 links per 1,400 workspaces. That's thousands of potentially risky or outdated links surfaced automatically—saving hours of manual audits and reducing compliance risks,' said Orchestry CEO Michal Pisarek. Key functionalities include comprehensive sharing link reporting across Teams and SharePoint, advanced filtering options for targeted audits, and bulk deletion capabilities to remove outdated links with ease. Additionally, detailed insights into link behaviors, such as creator and last accessed date, empower organizations to proactively secure their data and minimize risks. Complementing the sharing links feature, Orchestry has also introduced broken inheritance reporting and remediation to tackle another persistent issue in Microsoft 365. Broken inheritance occurs when custom permissions override established group- or site-level settings, creating unmanaged access points. Orchestry's solution offers an intuitive dashboard to detect and classify broken inheritance instances, pinpoint their origins, and restore proper permissions with a single click. With these tools, Orchestry delivers what IT teams have long sought but could not achieve with out-of-the-box Microsoft 365 tools. By automating permissions management and highlighting risks, Orchestry provides a scalable governance framework that enhances compliance, reduces manual workloads, and secures sensitive data. Orchestry's latest release also introduces new features to further enhance Microsoft 365 governance and efficiency. These include expanded sensitivity label visibility in Workspace Review, periodic Workspace Privacy validation, and Search & Copilot Visibility for sensitive workspaces. In addition, Orchestry launched the industry-first Copilot Readiness Dashboard, consolidating 13 governance signals to provide a unified assessment of an organization's preparation for integrating Microsoft Copilot technology. Beacon 2.0, a read-only, streamlined management tool, also debuted as part of this release, enabling partners and administrators to achieve comprehensive tenant-wide reporting at a fraction of the cost. 'These latest enhancements continue our mission of transforming Microsoft 365 management for our customers,' added Pisarek. 'With a laser focus on governance, security, and operational efficiency, Orchestry is setting the bar higher for M365 administrators facing increasing complexity in their environments.' These features mark a significant leap forward for Microsoft 365 security and governance, helping organizations move from reactive management to proactive risk mitigation. They're just the latest example of Orchestry's commitment to innovation in delivering robust, enterprise-grade solutions that simplify Microsoft 365 administration and governance. About Orchestry Orchestry is an all-in-one enterprise-grade Microsoft 365 management platform that provides unparalleled predictive insights and automated governance. By ensuring secure, cost-effective, and AI-ready workspaces, Orchestry empowers organizations to achieve operational agility, enhanced compliance, and strategic growth. For more information, visit
