Thank you so much for the explanation. Sub and joined.

Hello, has any body had a problem with the sign up? I'm getting the ticket could not be created because the server has too many channels. I see only a few channels.

[@bertrandsohier6542]

To thank you for your clear and precise explanations, excellent and also for your clear articulation and pronunciation, English being my secondary language, it is so relaxing to be able to catch all what you say without replaying, add subtitle etc. Thanks a ton for this

ok ok the puuure excitement people got back in the day for AOL chat rooms. This is why I am trying to learn it because i've read so many positive things about discord communities. Thank you for this video!

[@mrmichael972]

Thanks. I'm an older adult and wondered what it is.

[@billbuyssilver76]

This was awesome ! And thank you as a grand parent this is a subject that needs our attention!

[@julieo5257]

I have a question. My child joined a server, and when I looked at the sidebar of that server, there were Voice Channels listed which were not for children. To have a voice channel visible on the sidebar of a server, does that mean the member has been IN that voice channel or do they just show up as part of the server side bar?

[@kurbybro]

Hello, I don't see a Create Ticket category with a subcategory of username at all. It states the server has too many channels when I clicked the button. Any suggestions.

[@paulafranceschi]

Well done. Valuable, sensible approach.

[@indisishir]

Wow you really know how to make information very clear and to the point. Thanks for this vid it's really helped. Also, your glasses really suit you. I've been fitted for glasses recently and now all of a sudden I'm taking notice of everyone's specs lol Thanks again! 😀💖

[@RCBOSS1969]

Thank you!

[@D-Allen]

I just don't get discord. I've been able to join one "server?", yet get stuck trying to get into another. It's asking me to reviews the "rules" which I did and I accepted, and next they say to go to "No Access" which I do not see and cannot get this figured out. The old fashioned forums are so much better and the search function in Discord is, well, there isn't one.

[@3rdupmusic41o]

thanks for the info

Great Presentation

[@albeal9213]

Well done young lady! You opened my eyes a little more. I personally have not used "Discord" but familiar with it. Although navigation is tough. Did not realize the scope of this venue. But never the less, I am a stand alone father of 11 year old female triplets, my wife passed 4 years ago from ovarian cancer. So ya, I've been put through the gambit. One of the Girls is "Prim & Proper" the other two are going to give me "stroke"! OOOFFFF......but they are my "angels". The two I mentioned have a discord account and you just gave me the ability to monitor there account. Yup tried turning off WiFi, access to internet, and other choices but, have you ever had 3 pre-teens conspire to torture you? "NO"! Welcome to my world! (BTW, I will never change anything")! Thank you big time for your vid, you inadvertanly gave me a way out. LOL avb!

[@hanss4367]

I joined your discord, but I can't get through. The interface is so weird.. they expect me to do something with Nitro.. What is Nitro???? I should take steps to create a ticket, but the ticket could not be created because your server has too many messages it said. Who is captain America? Should I trust him? Now his screen is frozen and I am stuck..

[@WolfJoe-kr8wp]

Very useful 🎉

[@hilaryb8212]

Is Discord is similar to MSN messenger? Or Webex?

Thanks for the info

[@craigbutler8092]

Excellent synopsis! This is our family go-to app now, since dad (...me...) finally gave in and stopped trying to convince the kiddos to use a business app like MS Teams. 😂 I've seen Discord now used in business amongst coordination groups like IT vendors, which makes me think Discord eventually will notice and jump into the professional ring too. One last note in an already long comment - we've noticed that sometimes video/audio and noise isolation on video calls can exceed some business remote meeting tools' quality.

[@FamilyTech]

Yes! I'm actually finding I really like the features. More than slack for sure.

[@Think-about-]

Is Discord a good place for video sharing? Would it make a good place for a coaching community where students can upload video for review? Either in the group community or DM?

[@MundiaKamau]

Warm Greetings from East Africa, Sarah, and thanks very much for this great tutorial. Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 7th June 2024.

Great video. I have to ask where you got your glasses? They are awesome.

Thanks this helps ❤

[@fashionsuppliersean]

hi nice to meet you

[@Phil-W]

Define your terms. A server is a set of users with a broad common interest (i.e. trees). A forum is a set of users within a server with a narrower common interest (i.e. sycamore tree diseases)

[@MrAlvarogottagetit]

Is this a software or a website?

[@selfcaresuite]

What camera are you using to record this video, the quality is amazing!

[@John-ct9zs]

A guy in my age range (40s) invited me to a Discord server and I had no idea what he was talking about

Is there a parental control to block gifs on pc?

it could work for that 100%! Just make sure your students dont get on any other different "servers"

@@Notabl3 thanks for the info 🙏

[@conniemedina1044]

My young teen is asking for Discord. So I'm trying to understand, as the parent, I download the Discord app 1st, then what next? How do I get the parental control to monitor his account? He has to download it as well, or I ask him to join me? I'm still confused about that part. Thank you.

I think she speaks exactly about this at the 7min mark ❤

How do people even support this app?

[@ms-hl4vg]

@FamilyTech What's the USP of discord vs other apps? Whatsapp, Teams etc?

[@ac1dflare937]

Integration and diversity of use. You can use on phone, pc and console all combined

[@Lecon60]

I just started looking at discord. I have a lot to learn.

[@LePaul-vu7mb]

Why would they have to ask for it?

[@rechellethackray]

Thank you so much for this video. You certainly cleared up a lot of questions I had. I just have one more, can people charge you a monthly fee to be a member of their discord account/server/channel lol?

[@FamilyTech]

Yes there are subscriptions that admins can set for servers.

[@rechellethackray]

@@FamilyTech Thankyou for getting back to me, greatly appreciated. Very new to this app.

[@marthaavila1283]

how can I cancel my subscription on the discord???

[@vrod2144]

Most of the people don't need it tbh. You have group chat on most of the msg apps. Facebook messenger, whatsup, viber.... Am I'm missing the point here? Discord seems to be too complicated for basic usage and normal users...

[@strengthbydesign]

How’s this for silly, I can’t find the “Family Tech Discord Server” have no idea where to search for it or look for it in Discord. I found a search field and no matter what I type into it it comes up with nothing. It just says “We searched far and wide. Unfortunately no results were found. I typed in “Family Tech Discord Server”, nothing. I know I must by in the wrong place but where is the right place to find this server?

[@FamilyTech]

You can't find servers that have under 1000 members. The link to my server is in the description of this video. Just click it and you'll be there.

[@ghazanfaramin]

Why not whatsapp

[@MF_DOOMer]

I use it for my Madden 32 Man Group. It's solid for scheduling and organizing league.

[@MrpizzaDrip]

Fun fact:the word discord actually means a disagreement between people... Ig that's why it was named like that 💀

Didn't say anything about keeping children safe in the title and I didn't search for that
