How to Create a Discord Server for Streaming

A simple guide to set up your own server for live streaming.

Step 1: Download and Sign Up for Discord

If you don't have Discord yet, download it from discord.com or use the web version. Sign up with your email and create an account.

Step 2: Create Your Server

  • Open Discord and click the plus (+) icon on the left sidebar.
  • Select Create My Own.
  • Give your server a catchy name (e.g., "My Streaming Hub").
  • Upload a server icon if you want.
  • Click Create.

Step 3: Set Up Streaming Channels

It's a good idea to organize your server with specific channels for streaming:

  • Create a Voice Channel named something like "Live Stream Room".
  • Make sure Video and Screen Share options are enabled for this channel.
  • You can also create text channels like "Announcements" or "Chat During Stream".

Step 4: Adjust Permissions

Click on your server name at the top, then go to Server Settings > Roles. Create roles like Streamer or Moderator to control who can do what.

Step 5: Go Live!

  • Join your streaming voice channel.
  • Click the Screen or Video button at the bottom of Discord.
  • Select the screen, window, or application you want to share.
  • Hit Go Live and start streaming to your community!

Bonus Tips

  • Use Discord's Streamer Mode to hide personal info while live.
  • Integrate with platforms like Twitch or YouTube in the Connections settings.
  • Invite friends or fans to your server with invite links.

Enjoy streaming and building your community!
