Discord member experience

Is your audience new to Discord? In this guide, we walk you through the member experience—step by step. Feel free to personalize it and share it with your members.

Discord is a free chatroom platform where you can connect with other likeminded folks, in real-time, through text, audio, or video. If you purchased a membership that includes access to a private Discord server, you’ll first need to create a free Discord account before you can join the server or private server channels.

How to participate in a Discord server

  1. Read the rules and welcome page.
  2. Look at the various chats to jump into and read / respond.
  3. Turn on notifications so you know if someone has mentioned you.
  4. If you’ve used Slack, Discord operates in a very similar way!
  5. Any other questions? Check out Discord’s guide..

For private servers, you will be removed from the server completely if your subscription expires. For public servers, you may have limited access to certain non-member channels.

Log in to the Discord server

Moving forward, you will use your Discord credentials to log in to Discord to access the server.
