Discord is both, text chat and voice chat. You don't need a headset, just a phone though you can use one should you wish.

I only used Discord this morning so by no way am I an expert yet! In essence, it just allowed the 5 of us who rode together to speak to each other - effectively a teleconference call. I wore earphones with a microphone plugged into my mobile - this allowed me to speak and hear.
There are joining instructions on the Zwift meet up invite (on the Zwift companion app). I downloaded the Discord app this morning, registered for free, and then followed the instructions on the invite. All straightforward!

I should have Zwift set up by mid week but have no idea how I'll be at riding one armed yet so will just be nosey in the meantime.

Ow! Is that the Achterbahn route?
I did Innsbruck KOM this week in the forward direction and it was ok, the reverse direction looked really tough

Did the TdF Etape stage 1 today.
Bonkers. 4900 of us roared off the grid, I rode it at tempo for around 1600th.
I am going to race it tomorrow at 9am; it’s not a typical Zwift race as it’s effectively non drafting for 2/3 of the time - you are just in a continuous stream of riders. There is no draft to gain or lose you are moving around an almost infinite group with no gaps.
So it’s a TT effort for 30-40 mins until a few gaps do appear. There is no need, or value in going max effort for 3 mins early as no groups form.
Thus I fancy giving it a tickle who knows I may get top 900 😀💪
