How Use Discord - Mobile App Beginner's Guide

everyone in today's app of the day video I want to show you this messaging platform called discord it's really big among gamers and in the world of YouTube among YouTube creators but anybody could use it as a messaging platform I'm gonna show you exactly how to use it on the mobile device and how to get around the app and what's great about it is not only can you do text-based messages you could also do audio voice messages and you could also do video chat and screen shares too and it's very popular on the desktop and on the browser at discord comm and I have a separate video dedicated to show you exactly how to use it there this is all about the mobile app so I'll put a link in the description to the other video if you're gonna use it on the desktop before the mobile app they all sync so if you do it on the mobile everything that happens on that account is gonna show up on the desktop and at this core calm on the browser so let's jump into the phone so I could show you the discord mobile app the discord app is available for iOS and Android and I already created my account on the desktop version so I'll show you here on the app exactly what it looks like and then we'll go ahead and create our own server too so I'll jump in and this is basically the home page of the app you have a little menu on the bottom so I'm on the very corner option right here and if you're on this page if you're on a chat page you just go ahead and slide over to the left so let me break down the organization of this it's very very simple if you understand how its organized you see the icons on the left side you most likely don't have anything so I'll show you how to put those there but those are basically served so the pink one on top is my own server I'll show you how to create your own and then there's the Minecraft and fortnight's servers that are public that I'm following now servers there could be an entire game for example or really anybody's digital world that companies or a person that's the top-level organization and it's called a server so those are those icons so first let's go ahead and add a server or join one so if you press the plus sign here you could create your own server or join a server if you press join a server you need to know the invite link so someone else should have invited you to the server you want to join and then you could create your own server so let's go ahead and do that first you basically will name your server here so I'll name this one app of the day you could upload your own profile picture by just pressing + right there and then you could go ahead and press create server and then you will get a link to share which expires in one day so if you don't want it to expire click the Settings icon and change it to never or pick a different time you could also set the maximum amount of uses meaning how many people do you want to invite to the server you could do any number of these or you could leave it on infinity which is there is no limit and I'm gonna go ahead and close and I'll click away here now let me slide back again to the left side here so that's basically just the two main pages that we're gonna worry about here the home page again here now you could see the Apple today has that little icon on the top I didn't put a profile picture so I just created that for me and then the half entity one is the one I created on the desktop that's another server so you've got multiple servers this way and that little white icon shows you which one you're on now on the desktop on discord com if you use the browser or the PC or Mac version there's also a search icon here that you could look up public servers here and follow them that way and that's how I have those two little ones appearing here I did it on the desktop or you could press + and type in join a server and you could go ahead and type in the server code if you already know that link which again you could find on disk or com if you log in that way now let's look inside of a server inside of each server you could organize things by channels so the thing with the hash tag and the little microphone and the little speaker icon those are channels so I have two different general channels there are the two type of channels you could create the text one the one with the hashtag in front of it and the speaker one is the voice one so if I click that it's gonna say voice channels are where people could talk together so I'll say join voice give it access to my microphone I'll go ahead and invite my other person here and if you click that person again you could mute someone you could disconnect you have all these options inside of each person under the voice chat but let's go ahead and create one will create a text channel I'll press the plus sign here again you could pick the channel type in this case I want a Tex channel I'll press create and as you can see there's a second channel now call Tex channel if I click it it takes me there to come back I just have to slide back again to the left same thing for creating voice you could just press the voice icon and this time choose voice and create a channel that way and you could always hold on any one channel and you could go ahead and edit the channel here or clone the channel the invite option is right on top let's do that next if you want to now invite people to a specific channel you just hold on that channel and then you could go ahead and press invite and you get this invite link again which expires in a day and you could go ahead and share it or change the setting of this link to invite people to the server and all your server options right with the name of the server there's those three dots if you press those you could basically do all these things here including inviting people creating channels here creating categories and so on so creating categories basically creates a folder for you to organize your thoughts so if this was the rules category I could create that and you could see made another folder here under the voice channels and I could press the plus sign to create a channel within that folder so that's basically the overall organization you have server on the far left which is your top level the folders or categories which are these inside of there and then inside of those folders you could put channels here and inside of the channels or where people are gonna have the conversation now let's slide over to the how to channel that I created and here is where the messaging could take place so I could just type in the message welcome press the send icon and now it's over here and there's the welcome message so anybody that I invite here could jump in and have a conversation with me you could also upload images here with the left icon you have emojis and you could also use the add sign here to basically have a communication with someone else so if you want it to be for everybody or if you wanted to just talk to a specific person you could just put the add sign and then type your message and then it would basically tag them that you're trying to communicate with them specifically but it is channel wide so people could see it there and then you also have one more slide if you slide one more time you basically get to this members area where you could see everybody that's online and they roll right on top of their name you could also mute them here and you have all the options instead of individual members in this channel so it's really three main pages here this is was the home page this was the messaging page inside of each channel and then this is where all the members are inside of that channel let me jump into one of these public ones here I'll jump into the world of warcraft' one and you could see when you have a lot of different channels a lot of different categories things are organized a little bit differently so if I jump into one of these for example this general one you could see there's a lot of messages taking place here and even on the desktop before joining you could jump in and basically explore these messages and learn a little bit more and if you slide one more time you could see all the different members and they all have different colors and different permissions I'll briefly show you the permission setting here on the discord icon on the very bottom on the home page basically here if you press the three dots on the server that you're on the one you control if you press it and you go to the settings option here and if you scroll down here there's that user management section and here you could click roles and you could basically create new roles here by pressing add role when you add a role let's say you wanted to make someone an admin of this server you could just type in the roles name you could click color and choose a color so they show up differently on the list of people on that server and then if you want to display the members role separately from online members to kind of break up the section here you could go ahead and check this on and then if you want to edit the general permissions they have you could go to this general permissions tab and go through it again a lot to explore here and a little more advanced than a beginners guide but you could definitely explore this page for an admin and once you have this selected you could go back to your home and now that you've created that role if you go all the way to the right here and select someone on your members area you could basically go ahead and manage them and edit the role you see that option edit a role and you could assign a new role like the admin role to them and then go ahead and press save but that's how you would change a role and a permission setting for individual users on your individual channels and on the very bottom menu which we haven't looked at you also have this little person icon this is where you could add your friends here so again if you add friends they will all appear here under this page you have the search icon where you could search among your channel that you're following and your own servers here so that's the search option very useful and the app mention is if somebody again uses the add sign when they're communicating with you they'll show up over here and then you have your profile icon on the far right here you could set your status so by default you're online but if you want to be idle or do not disturb you could change that setting over here on this page but generally you want to jump in here you want to create your own server or join one so you could have multiple different servers to choose from on the left side once you're inside of a server you could jump into really any conversation here and read about it and the ones where you can have conversations in you could go ahead and have text or chat conversation inside of those and if there is any voice chat conversations you could jump inside of those I have a voice conversation this way as well and as far as I could tell the video sharing option is only available on the desktop so when you jump into a voice Channel typically you could mute on the very bottom there's the mute option there's a different option that means you won't hear anything and there's a speaker option where you could turn on and off to make sure you hear something and you could go ahead and disconnect but there's no video option at the time I'm recording this inside of the mobile version but it is available on disk or comm and on the PC and Mac I'm gonna give this app a solid five out of five it was so easy to use it was so easy to get around I also love the desktop version and they all synced so seamlessly it's a very solid app for communication so if you're looking for creating your own digital world here for people to be able to organize into channels and everything I showed you I want to give this a try thanks so much for watching and I hope to see you next time
