hey everyone, in this video i’d like tointroduce you to discord, a free all-in-one voice and text chat, designed for gamers.let’s get right into it. i want to take a bit of time and show everyonewhat is quickly becoming one of my favorite new apps. if you haven’t heard of discordyet, it’s basically skype, teamspeak, and slack combined - but it’s designed withgamers in mind. this video will have a quick overview and initial setup of the app, howto setup your own server and manage permissions, and finally how to join channels and managesome of your user settings. to start with, let’s head over to discordapp.com- one of the first things you’ll notice is the open discord button, this will actuallyopen the app in your browser, but let’s
not worry about that just yet. we can scrolldown and see a list of all the features the app promotes, including ddos protection, forall you streamers out there, minimal cpu usage, which i can say after using this for a whilethat this app is extremely quick and light on resources, and the ability to manage permissions,perfect for any guilds or groups of gamers. i recommend checking out the rest of the website,because there are a lot of awesome things you can do with this app, such as using slashcommands to post game results and dps meters, but let’s actually hop into how to set upthe app. all you need to do is click “open discordâ€,register in about 10 seconds, and that’s it. you’ll be prompted with a walkthroughof the features, which i definitely recommend
taking the time to check out, but for nowi’m going to skip it. the app runs in your browser, but it also has an independent appthat you can download. while the browser app is quick and works very well, it’s a bitlimited, so i’m going to set up the full app. currently it’s available for mac osx,pc, apple ios, and android - with linux coming soon. and just by the way, the mobile appis pretty awesome - so if you have a smart phone, check it out. once you’ve downloaded the full app, launchit and log in. let’s go ahead and set up a server - you might be already prompted withan option to create a server or join one, but since i already logged in, i’m goingto simply click the plus in the top left,
and hit “create a server†- i’m goingto name mine “nerd or die - test†and pop in an icon i’d like to use for the server,then select my region of us east. after i hit create… that’s it, we’re ready torock. if you’d like, you can click the instantinvite button, tweet or copy the link, and share it with anyone you’d like to haveaccess to your server. let’s check out some of the server settings before we continue.click the menu icon next to your server name and hit server settings. here we can see ourgeneral server settings/ the overview gives us a quick glance at our server info, plusthe ability to select an afk channel. instant invites shows us the codes for any of ourinvite links plus the ability to revoke access
to them. members will allow us to see anyoneinvited to the server, which will allow us to kick or ban users, or apply roles, suchas guild leader, etc. - you can also prune, or remove any inactive members. the next section roles, is probably the mostimportant. this section allows you to set the default roles for all of your channelson the server. you can actually customize individual channel roles as well, but forthe server setting area, we’re managing the defaults for all channels. so, for example,if we want to disable text to speech by default for all user roles, we can simply uncheckthe option here, and all new channels we create will not allow users to use text to speech,unless we individually activate it for that
channel’s roles. more on that soon. beforewe leave though, i’m going to make a new role called officers, and then go back tothe members tab and assign the officer role to one of my members. the last settings we can look at is the bans,this shows any banned members, which we can manage here, and the widget section, whichallows us to put a widget on any website that can show active users in individual channels,and even enable the instant invite option, that allows users to connect by clicking alink in the widget. now that we have the server settings covered,let’s look at individual channels. we can see that there are text channels and voicechannels. by default, we have a general channel
made, which i prefer to leave open for anyusers i invite. we can add a new text or voice channel channel by clicking the plus and givingthe channel name. like before we can use the instant invite button to share a link withanyone we’d like to invite. but let’s look at the channel settings. the overview tab shows the name and topicof the channel, instant invites works just like before, and then the permissions sectionis where we can customize user roles and permissions per channel. so, for this new text channel, which i’mgoing to call officer chat, let’s say i want this to only be available to certainmembers. the @everyone role will show permissions
for all users. for each permission, the graydash means it inherits your server settings general roles, the read x means it deniesthis permission for the selected role, and the green check means it allows this permission. so, first, i’m going to deny the abilityto read messages for everyone in this channe, next i’m going to add the officers roleto this channel. from here, i can then individually assign permissions for officers in this channel.i’ll allow them to read messages. now, only officers can read messages in this channel. the voice channels work in exactly the sameway. you can easily add a new channel if you’d like, disable or enable permissions for the@everyone role, and assign individual roles
with their own permissions. basically, duringthe time it took for me to say that, i set up a voice chat channel for my guild officers. now that i’ve covered setting up a server,let’s look into what we can do as users… and by the way, we’re only going to scratchthe surface. if you haven’t yet, you can join a server by clickling an instant invitelink and launching the application, or you can click the plus and enter the link here,and hit join. i want to note, that swapping to multiple servers is extremely easy, andyou can do so in one click, here on the left. anyways, i’m connected to my nerd or die- test server, and i want to start with user settings. click the gear icon by your name,and here we’ll see our general information.
we can change our username, email, password,and avatar here or log out of the app. next, we can set up how text and images willappear in the app, and also if we want to hear playback of text to speech. in voice,you can specify an input and output device, as well as manage their volumes. you can alsoset up push to talk, with your prefered keybind, or leave it on voice activity, both of whichwork great. the advanced tab here has some voice processing options, and attenuation,which basically lowers the volume of other applications when someone is speaking. thenotifications tab allows us to set up which sounds play and when, as well as desktop notificationsthat appear for certain events. the keybinds section allows us to set up specific keybindsfor events like toggle mute, toggle deafen.
privacy allows us to disable the status messageof what game you’re playing, which can be see by users connected to your the channels.and finally appearence allows us to switch between light and dark themes. i’d liketo quickly mention that the app is planning on releasing more themes and sticker packsthat will serve as cosmetic purposes only. purchasing the cosmetic items will be howyou can support the app in the future. once your settings are how you’d like them,we can hop into any text channel by simply clicking the one we’d like to enter, andthen chat away. you’ll see all chat messages here in the middle. you can use /tts for textto speech, post links, or even insert attachments. as i mentioned before there is a lot you canactually do in the chat channels, so make
sure to check out the discord website fora full range of features. to join a voice channel, simply click theone you’d like to enter, and that’s about it. we can see the status of our connectionabove our user name, and then we can also click the disconnect button here, when we’reready to leave. on the right, you’ll see all online usersthat are connected to the server, and have the ability to control their individual volume,direct message them, mute them, deafen, or even kick/ban from the server. one thing thati thought was really impressive, was that you can be in a voice channel on one server,while joining a text channel on other… i actually didn’t realize this until i madethe video, but for a person like me that hops
around a lot, i thought it was a really awesomefeature. well, that about wraps up everything for myover and setup guide for discord. as i mentioned before, i really love this app so far, andi highly recommend it. i can’t wait to dive into it more and find out some cool stuffthat i can do with this app. let me know what you think of the app in thecomments below, and of course if you have any questions, please ask there or on twitter! thanks again to all of my viewers, you guysrock. if you liked this video, please give it a like, and make sure to subscribe formore from nerd or die. thanks for watching.
