How? My PC doesn't have a camera. Also couldn't you just hold up a video of an older person
Pretty much any adult has a smartphone capable of running discord and with a camera. You only have to verify once on any device.
Based on my experience with similar things in the past, it activates the camera for a few seconds and you have to pan to give it a 3d image of your face.
Edit: Not sure why I'm getting downvoted for explaining how the system works. I'm not even taking any sides here.
