server tutorial it was pretty crappy quality it was when I just got into YouTube so I was pretty bad at everything and it blew up like crazy it got a ton of use and everything so at the beginning of 2019 I said oh let's do another one maybe people will want to see an updated one and it still wasn't super high quality but it blew up as well so now I have gotten like my production quality way higher I know a ton more about discord so I'm gonna do my best to tell you guys exactly how to set up the perfect discord server for you and your friends for you and your classmates of school for you and your gaming buddies or your YouTube channel whatever you want it to be and we're gonna start now all right so we're gonna be model in this server that we're gonna make off of my server my servers it's a long time coming it's been about two years we got about two to three thousand members in it right now or something like that so we're gonna kind of model it out off of my server so what you're gonna do is come over here to the left side of your screen click add a server you're going to create a server and you're gonna name it whatever you want to do we're gonna name this YouTube test server like a type right YouTube test server if you want to set a icon you can go ahead and do so now or you can always go back to it later and do it again later but you'll click create and boom you've already got your server it's gonna automatically pop up if you want to invite some of your friends to your server or not if you do you can go ahead and do so if not just to X and it'll automatically put you in this voice chat you can just leave that voice chat real quick alright once you make your server you are going to be greeted with welcome at to your server gestures so now you can come over here you're gonna see you have a general text channel in a general voice Channel so first things first we're going to start making some channels by clicking this plus button right here we're gonna make a new text channel and we're gonna kind of mix there's some general channels we're going to make a welcome channel we are also going to make a announcement channel for you to share any announcements you might have - if I can spell announcements right oh my god there we go I don't even know if I speak yeah okay I spell that right um let's create a rule channel for you to put all your rules on next we're going to create a couple different moderator and admin chat so let's make a moderators moderators room let's make a admin room for all of your server administrators I'm gonna kind of model this off of what my server is like I said so we're gonna base it off of a YouTube community server so you might want to add in a videos channel for you to share your videos to you can add a livestream channel it's to share all of your live streams - you may want to add a like a memes channel for people to share memes - that's always a really cool thing to have in a server I have one in mind so we added a memes Channel I think that's a good amount of decent text channels right now just the basics and everything you guys can always go and add whatever you want to add custom to your server whenever you want but we're gonna come down here to voice channels and we're gonna add a couple new voice channels so make sure you select a voice Channel and we're gonna name this game let's just make a couple game chat rooms for people to come join and if they want to play a game with their friends in your server they have a place that they can all talk so let's make game chat one let's make a couple of different ones in case there's a bunch of people wanting to play some games at once make a game chat - and let's make a game chat three let's also make a music channel because we are gonna be setting up a music bot on this video so you guys would get to see that in a little bit so let's go ahead and set up the music channel alright now before we get into going and setting up the roles and the bots what we're gonna do now is we're gonna create some categories to kind of clean all this up because you guys can see it's all just kind of jumbled into one area it looks a little messy so we're going to make some categories by right-clicking anywhere over here on the blank area and click create category let's make this first category of welcome so let's just name it welcome oops I hit the Run button what's hit welcome and now we have a category for welcome we're going to drop our drag and drop our welcome channel under the Welcome category we're gonna drag and drop the rulz channel under our welcome category that's all we're gonna drag under the welcome category and now let's set up a category I like to call this one basically it for me I'm just gonna make a gesture this is where I'm gonna share all of my videos my wife streams my announcements I'm gonna put all of those under this category so we're gonna name this one just my alias and you guys can name it your alias if you want to do this as well we're going to drag the videos channel underneath there we're gonna drag the livestreams channel under there and we're gonna drag the announcements channel under there so you guys can start to see it's starting to come together now and I like to set mine up from top to bottom like where I want people to start at the top and where I want them to end so we're gonna drag the Welcome category all the way up to the top and we're gonna drag the gesture category up to right there so whenever they join the server the first thing they'll see is the Welcome category and then they can go all the way down the list alright so now we got that set up what spice the channels up a little bit with some glitz and glamour basically what I like to do on my chant my serve if you guys see I have emojis on all of my channels it kind of just adds a little flair to it makes it a little more visually appealing to people that join so we're gonna do the same here so what we're gonna do to do this and this will help you guys if y'all want to edit any of your channels in the future I changed the names of them or anything we're gonna click this a little Settings button right here and we're going to be able to change the name now to be able to pull up the emoji keyboard on PC if you actually click on Windows plus period it'll bring up the emoji keyboard for you guys so you can type in any of the emojis that you want to you can search it you can scroll through and fun which ones you want it's super cool that is windows plus period and that'll open it up as long as you're on a Windows PC so basically we're just gonna kind of go through and add some basic emojis that kind of have resemble what the channel is about so this one is a general chat so let's just I mean we can really make it anything we want I think we're going to use this little speech but we're right here since it's just general chatting and then I always like to put a space after it just so it kind of gives it a little bit of space so we're gonna Save Changes so after you X out boom you now have a nice a little emoji right there in front of your text channel so now I walked you guys how to do that I'm gonna go through and set up all the other ones real quick and I want to see you guys and once I have all that done a few moments later alright so I got all the channels set up with different emojis so it just kind of adds a little bit of flair to it it's something I like to do you guys don't have to do it you can skip over it but I think it makes your server look very much more appealing I also did add another category a moderation category for the admin room in the moderators room so I would I thought I would mention that to you guys so y'all do know that so now we're gonna get into the nitty-gritty and we're gonna be setting up some roles the part that most people have the hardest time with if you guys look at my server I have a ton of roles we're not gonna be setting up anywhere near this many roles but I we have a lot of inside jokes and a lot of memes and stuff on my server and we have a lot of different roles like the Platypus ticklers and an AIDS role and just random roles that are just funny to us so we're gonna just set up some basic roles here on this tutorial so what were you gonna do is you're gonna go to the top up here and you're gonna go to server settings and you're going to click on roles and this is where you're gonna be able to add all of your roles in it so right here you're gonna see a plus button we're gonna click plus and we're going to first add a just basic member role so add the member role and right here you can adjust the color of the member role so let's give it a custom color let's do like a nice little aqua blue maybe and now here are all your role settings these are very they're pretty self-explanatory but people have a lot of trouble with them so let's go through all of them for every single role you are going to want to make sure that you select this display role member separately from online members if you don't then that person is not going to have this special color and they're not going to show under that special role on the right side of the screen so always make sure you check that for every single role that you do allow anyone to add mention this role that basically means do you want people to be able to say at member and tag everyone in the member role I usually don't do that for any of my roles so we're gonna skip over right here is administrator right so we're not going to give them any administrator right so we don't want them to view the audit log we don't want them to do really anything this is just a basic role that just says hey thank you for joining the server here's a special role you can have it's just saying you're a member of the server so we're actually going to keep all of these permissions under this remember role as default because it's just a basic role we don't want them to really change anything the only one you might want to change is the ability for them to go live I'm pretty sure you guys don't want random people going a lot live-streaming on your server so if you don't want that make sure you scroll to the bottom and uncheck the go-live permission and then click Save Changes and now we're going to add a moderator role so let's type in moderator this one's gonna be a little different we're gonna be adding some special permissions for this I always like to make my moderator role is purple so now that you added this role it put it under the member role make sure you drag it above the member role you want them to be above the member role that way it's going to display them higher up on the server this is basically a list of where it's gonna display people on your server list on the right side of your screen so we've got the moderator role we're going to display row member separately like we said we do on every one of them for moderators we're not gonna give them administrator rights we're gonna save that for our actual administrators of the server we do want our moderators to view the audit log to see what happens in the server who's doing what who's getting kicked in there who's doing all these kicks and everything we do want them to manage the server they can change the server's name manage roles yes we want them to be on the manage roles manage channels yes we definitely want them to be able to kick in band members that's like the main thing you want your moderators to do is keep your server clean kick out people that are self promote and kick out people that are being spammy and just being disrespectful we do want them to manage nicknames because sometimes people will join your server and make like a completely inappropriate nickname for themselves or something so you want to be able to have your moderators to change go in and change that by themselves manage emojis yes I usually do that for my moderators so they can add emojis to my server without me having to worry about it we're not gonna worry about web ebooks manage messages yes we are going to let them delete messages by other members or pin any message all these are fine we're gonna come down here mute members and deafened members if someone's in a voice chat basically they'll be able to mute them or deaf in them somewhere if they're being like extremely loud the moderator can go in and mute their Mike by themselves and you'll have to worry about them being a nuisance T anymore move members yes we'll be let the move members between different voice channels and priority speaker we're not going to worry about that so we're gonna save changes to our moderator role and we are now going to make a atom enroll I almost typed in a head and roll my bad let's make this a little nice seafoam green and let's drag it up to the top and we're gonna Save Changes real quick so we want to display role members separately from online members and we also want to give them administrator rights so once you get them administrator rights that means they can do every single thing on the server that you can do besides delete the server so they can go in and make him access your bots they can add bot commands for you change bot commands on the different bots website so we're gonna be using and that can literally do pretty much anything they want to do on the server so you don't if you give them this administrator right it gives them automatically every single permission on the server so you don't have to go through and check all of these permissions and everything you just want to check administrator right and click Save Changes and last roll we're gonna add for now we're gonna add a bot role so let's just put bot and let's make it a yellow color the bot role is basically just gonna say hey this is a bot it's gonna show the bot up in the text chats and everything as a colored as the yellow colored role that way people know okay if it's yellow it's definitely a bot so we're gonna save those changes and we're not gonna give him any special permissions or anything it's just a bot they don't need any so now we're back on the main screen of our server if you want to go in and add anyone to any roles or anything you can come over here to the right side of your screen where it's going to display all your members you can right-click on them you can go to roles and you can add the admin role you're gonna see it's not going to change me to an admin and it's gonna change my color to green as far as the member role you guys may be wondering what the heck I don't want to have to go in add this every single time for some of the joins give them the member role we're actually gonna go get a bot right now that it's going to do that automatically for you okay hello guys this is editor Jake I realized when I was editing this video I didn't even show you guys how to set up permissions for different roles I know I don't have my camera on right now because I unhooked it to record something else so I don't feel like cooking it all the way back up honestly so I'm gonna show you guys really quick how to change permissions on the server or I'm sorry on these channels definitely for the admin room in the moderators room you don't want anyone to come and join those and read what you guys are talking about so to edit the permission so only your admins can see this and only your moderators can see this you're gonna want to click on the edit channel button and right here you're gonna go to permissions for everyone this is going to be everyone besides the roles that you set up in here you're going to want to disable basically everything disable them to read message they don't want to be able to send messages just disable everything for at everyone right here once you get all the way down you're gonna save changes but now you're going to add a new role you're gonna add moderator and you're going to check everything that you want them to be able to read messages send messages everything you want them to be able to do everything in here so just go through and check all these click Save Changes you also want to set up your admin because you do want your admins to be able to participate in your moderator channels so check everything for them as well click Save Changes and now you will notice that this room above the little hashtag sign it now has a lock button meaning that only your admins and your moderators can see it because they are the only ones that you gave permissions to be able to see it and you want to go and do the same thing for your moderator room except you don't want to umm okay I actually did the wrong one right there I accidentally added moderators to the admin room so to remove that you're just gonna quit moderators scroll down remove moderator okay and now only your admins have access to this room and for your moderator room you want to do exactly what we just did disable everything for at everyone going through an X all those out and then add your moderator add in your admin and make sure you check everything and then you'll be good to go and you own that one you should see the locks right there on those channels as long as you see the locks then you set it up perfect and you are good to go so it's gonna conclude this episode of editor Jake sorry to throw this in here like this with no face cam but this was definitely something I needed to cover for you guys and I didn't want to leave it out the video so back to the video so the first spot we're gonna be using is me 6 so we're gonna come over to Google we're gonna type in me 6 oops me 6 okay I can't freakin tie me six XYZ is the website I'll have that website linked in the description below for you guys we are going to add it to discord we're going to select our discord server this is our YouTube test server so we're gonna click setup me 6 right here now if you're not logged in already you might have to log in but if you are already logged in you'll be able to do just what I did now this is going to pop up on your screen right here you want to give the bots every single permission because you want it to be able to control things on your server for you automatically make sure it is selected on the right server that you want to join we're doing YouTube test server and you're going to authorize it click that I'm not a robot because you're in a robot boom it's gonna pop up your all of your different plugins that you can use for your bot basically what you can make your bot do by the way use code gesture for 0% off your g4 purchases maybe one day it'll be 10 percent or something but uh so now you're going to see if you come back over to your discord server you're gonna see boom me 6 is here and if you will get the general channel it's gonna say owe me 6 just joined so um these are welcoming messages we're actually going to change where these messages go to we're gonna come up here to our server settings and on the overview we're going to change the system messages channel we're gonna change it to welcome Channel that's basically gonna say every time they join the server it's gonna give a little welcome message to them saying hey bah-bah-bah just joined the server and everything so now that we have that we're going to right click and we're gonna give me six the bot role real quick so now he is yellow he we now know he is a for-sure bot so let's go back to the me6 website what we're going to do here is we're going to set up a welcome message so it's gonna give the new users a warm welcome we're gonna click on that and we're gonna want it to send a message when the user joins the server so we want this message to be sent to the Welcome Channel and it's just what we'll just use the default it says hey user welcome to the server if you want to go in and change this message at all you can feel free to do so you can say hey hey bro and you I mean you can say whatever you want the message you know we're gonna keep ours as the default message and everything and you're gonna click Save Changes down here and that's all you need to do if you want to send a private message to new users you can set that up you can give it to automatically give a role to new users that's another one that we're going to do but you're gonna scroll down to give a road and new users check that enroll is to give you're going to give them the member role that way when they automatically join it's gonna give them the member role now you're gonna see it's gonna say woops I can't give these roles listed here because my role is lower than that role so now you're going to come over to your discord server you're going to go back into your server settings and you're gonna go to your roles and you're going to make sure you put me six on the very top that way it can control everyone underneath it save your changes escape go back to Google Chrome and now that error code is gone and you can now save your changes and anyone new that joins it's going to get automatically give them that memorable you guys will see what the next spot we're gonna add what it's gonna do with that so there's a lot of really cool different things you can do on here you can link your twitch you can link to your YouTube so it'll basically notify everyone when you go live automatically you can go in and set up your own if you enable the plug-in you can set up your own message and everything so let's search for my twitch channel here we should just be able to type in gesture and there we go there's my twitch channel and it's going to automatically pink everyone in your server and it's going to say hey everyone the streamer is live here's the link go check it out and you can customize the message again to whatever you want it to say then you can select the message that you want to send to we want it this into the live streams Channel and then we're gonna click Save and boom anytime I go live it's gonna automatically share it to the live streams channel for me so I don't even have to worry about it if you want to add any more streamers you can you do have to pay the premium fee but you probably only want to add yours now if you want it to notify for YouTube videos it's the same thing and able to plug in search for your YouTube channel and just type in whatever your youtube name is there's mine right there and again we're going to use the default message of hey at everyone so it's going to ping everyone the YouTube channel which is gesture just posted a video go check it out we want it to post in the videos Channel and we're gonna click Save and boom that simple the bot is now going to automatically ping everyone when you upload or when you go live see if you guys were to setup any of these other ones like custom commands I'll let you guys do that on your own I'm not gonna if I did all that this video would end up being over an hour long so if you guys want to go in and set up commands you can do that if you want to use any of these other cool features like the automatic moderator features you can go in and use that the music feature you guys will see is a premium feature where you have to pay to use we are going to use a different bot for music that we're gonna go set up right now we're going to search rhythm bot rhythm bot is a straight up music bot that's all it does is play music but it's a very good one we're gonna click Add to discord and again I will include this link in the description if you guys want it we want to add it to our YouTube test server give it the administrator rights cool and authorize check that you're not a robot and it's going to automatically throw rhythm you guys will see now that message is no longer in general it's now in welcome and me6 greeted them with a nice little welcoming message and we can write it automatically gave him the member role as well as you guys can see we're going to change that take away the member role and we're gonna give him the bot role so now we are going to set up a bot commands can overlay because we didn't do that earlier and basically the bot commands annal is going to be where you want people to go to put any commands for BOTS like if they want to request songs they want to go to the bot commands you know to put in their song requests and everything let's see if we can get a little robot emoji there we go we've got a little nice robot emoji too bot commands how you use rhythm bot is very simple you want to join a general chat or join any voice chat let's go to music since we already set it up you're going to type exclamation point P and then the name of your song so let's just type in an exclamation point P and the most recent song on my playlist right now is problems by Ian D or click enter and the bot is going to search YouTube for it it's going to automatically join the channel that you'd the voice channel that you're in and it's gonna start playing music for you so it's that simple if you want to pause the music you can click pause you can if you're done listening to it you can do exclamation point disconnect and the bot will leave the voice Channel and you just leave the channel and that's it so I think that's a pretty good overview of how to set up your server and everything you're gonna get automatic messages when you go live automatic messages on your videos you got your basic roles set up your members your admins your moderators and everything if you want to make a custom role for yourself like on my channel I have an owner role for myself if you want to make that you can just to give you a little spice and flare on your own but you don't have to if you guys want to join up on
