How to Setup a Discord Announcement Channel you can "Follow"

[Music] all right welcome back ladies and gentlemen to the chupacabra tutorials channel i'm your host larry and today we're back for another server management tutorial talking about a newer type of channel the announcement channel now previously you could create your own little announcement channel manually with the advent of a couple of settings which were all you had to do is make sure that everybody had the ability to view the channel but they did not have the ability to send messages in the channel so now to accentuate that discord has created a new type of channel called the announcement channel which allows you to send out push notifications and then you can also publish different like updates that will then go out to other servers that follow the channel so it's possible for people who like your content to follow that channel for updates and then share it with their friends so we're going to set one of those up today we're going to call this the new videos channel or video updates let's just call it newest videos and then we will create this channel and then it's right here in our channel list and let's double check what the permissions are here so we want to definitely make sure everyone can view this channel and up they've already set it up for us that that makes it so that people cannot send messages in this channel and just because people tend to uh use adding reactions or adding emojis to the bottom of your posts they like to use that to spell out nasty swears and derogatory terms i've had to recently start disabling people's ability to add reactions so that seems like it's good to go i really these two are the most important right now is do not let people send messages and so now when people go to this channel they'll get a button at the bottom i go up here to this channel you can see an example when you set up an announcement channel you can have this button at the bottom that says follow to get this channel's updates on your server so you'll click this and then it will send the updates from this channel to a channel on your server that you set up but since i want people to also you know view these ones that's what i'm going to start putting into this channel so it's actually just a really simple process a couple of button clicks and all of a sudden you have everything set up and ready to go on your server and then you can start posting updates like i've got a new youtube video so i'll say at here howdy everyone i have a new video out about what locked roles mean in discord generally it's not something you can control and this is what exactly they are and then i'll post this and then bing bang boom so that's locked roles and i get the option here to share with my followers but since i just made this server nobody's following this yet but in the future if and when they do it would then be sent out to everyone in order to see the latest update although i might in the future want to change it so that i don't always ping people in other people's servers because that might uh annoy them and tick them off quite a bit so that's it for this ladies and gentlemen this has just been how you create a announcement channel in discord to push and publish your updates to other people out across discord i hope you find this helpful i've been your host larry don't forget to like and subscribe and i'll catch you next time bye everybody and have a good one [Music] you
