Games on Discord | Activate Activities on YOUR SERVER | Complete Guide

what's up my name's taken over here for troubleshoot and welcome back to another video in this quick video i'll be showing you an awesome new feature coming to discord very soon that you can try out now if you wish activities essentially discord are currently running an experiment with activities you can play games with your friends here's the official discord video you'll find this article linked in the description down below there are a few activities currently available you can play chess pokem and a couple of these other games with your friends some of these you can play with yourself other ones are two three four only up to i think six or maybe even eight players including even an uno copy so that's a ton of fun essentially you play games in voice channels as you would any other live stream watching a live stream though you can interact with this as it's a javascript game running on your pc or html5 anyways regardless it's a really cool experiment that currently the only official way of doing it is by joining their activities discord which you'll find a link to here the discord games lab but in a moment i'll show you how to get this for your server as well so joining the discord games lab you'll see it looks like this essentially i'll need to click here verify my phone number etc and i'll eventually be able to join some voice channels down here where we can play some games with our friends as well as read faq on all these different games announcements etc this is a place to get all the info that you need for these games or info that you may want but let's head back to my server and let's talk about how you can get these activities in your own voice chats over here currently you can see there's only a few buttons none of these are activities now there are some dodgy commands you can copy into your discord console but the absolute simplest way of doing this is by inviting a bot to your discord server simply click the link titled get dot activities dot rocks and you'll get the invite activities bot essentially just click on the server you want to invite it to assuming you have admins authorize and after you confirm you're human poof the bottle get added to your discord server so if we have a look at activities has just landed this is what the bot looks like and you can add it to your server using the shortcut here as well if it's in a different server that you know of there's two different commands slash invite and slash activity slash invite allows you to invite the bot to your server though of course it's already here but if you click this you can choose to add this to other servers as well so this may be a bit of an easier way around if you don't want to type it in though you must be in a server with this bot anyways what we came here for is the slash activity command simply typing slash activity in any channel that the bot can read you'll see here we can enter a channel and an activity so i'm currently in mc voice chat lobby i'll select this and inside of the activity section here we can select from a ton of different games some of these do require you to have a boosted server in this case it's boost level one which i think is only one or two boosts yep it unlocks it two boosts so if you pay for nitro you can get this activated on your server assuming you give yourself both of your own boosts on your own server regardless these are the free ones that we can have up here and these ones down here require boost level one if i click on one of these say this one i don't think it'll work we need the boost enabled yep there we go it doesn't have a high enough boost level so let's try a simple one activity mc voice chat and let's go for say watch together a super simple activity enter and when we click this link here it'll simply expand our channel now showing the watch together activity you'll need to accept a pop-up talking about cookies and other things like that when you first come to these different apps then once you've done it you won't need to do it again and of course your friends can join by hovering over the channel and clicking join activity not only this but channels can have multiple activities so people can do multiple different things at once etc etc watch together is obviously super simple you click on a video to watch or you search for it or paste the link up here and when you do so everyone who's currently participating in this activity will be able to watch pause fast forward rewind as you would expect well only you can the host with the remote only the host can select scrub and pause the video for the group some your friends can suggest other videos but you can easily just delete them like that and reorganize them regardless this is watched together lots of people do it currently by sharing their screens nothing is too crazy about this the real fun comes when we use activity channel and we choose say maybe land i o blazing eights which is the bruno copy bobble league that's also a lot of fun sketch heads know what i mean all these different games here we can click enter click to enter and it'll start up like this it'll take a second to load and seems to be half loading here it's loading in this little window but not when i go full screen well hey it's a beta for a reason i'll hop over to my main discord and run an example here in one of the admin chats so bot spam slash activity first i need to invite said bot and now we can use activity here vip lounge and let's go for say land i o this is one of the more fun ones to play by yourself it needs the create invite permission in the voice channel let's go ahead and do that permissions bots create invite there we go let's try again hitting up to get to my previous command copying and hitting enter then we can click it poof we've now joined our own channel and there's land i o loading but we can start playing it in just a moment not too sure what you'd compare this to but this is the game i've played a ton of the past this is also one of them you can join public lobbies for it's not just only people in your chat if you join together you'll be on the same server but if we go ahead and join a public game here let's disable the anonymous there we go join you'll see you're playing as you would any other game now i'm using the arrow keys to control this usually it's the arrow keys maybe wasp clicking around dragging the putt-putt game is also pretty fun but of course it's pretty much exactly what you would expect it's games within discord that you can play with your friends not too sure whether this lobby is empty but anyways previously it did have other people in it regardless you can join it and leave it like you would any other stream there's a leave activity button and when everyone leaves an activity it shuts down completely let's use activity this voice channel and let's go for the potpod game putt party clicking and dragging to move around right click for camera etc it's pretty much exactly what you would expect a golf game with a 15 second timer most of these games have settings in the top right that looks something like this where you can control the audio volume etc view a how-to as well as some extra information if there is anything in this case it's power-ups and a support section if you need to talk and report bugs etc so here's one of the sample maps right-click to drag the camera around left-click to pull back and of course completely miss everything but yes it's games in discord it's lots of fun especially to play with your friends if someone joins the lobby anytime during this game for example they'll get dropped in as another ball and they can start playing as you would anyway it's a really cool addition to discord that you currently need a bot to use but eventually it'll come around to a point where everyone can use it without the need for any bot or anything extra when that'll be who knows for now it could be stuck as an experiment forever who really knows there's definitely a ton of effort that's been put into this it's a lot of fun to mess around with especially all these different games and there's something for everyone even for people who want to just play by themselves so anyways that's really about it for this video once again you'll find the official discord link in the description down below and of course the bot if you'd like to try this out on your own server with your own friends and that's really about it so thank you all for watching money's been taking a behavior troubleshoot and i'll see you all next time ciao
