About this video: So you want to start a community Discord server. Awesome! I’ve got a few Discord communities at this point, and I try my best to keep up to date with all of the amazing community features Discord has released. So let’s go ahead and jump on into how you can create your very our community Discord server and set it up for success.
First things first, you will need to create your server. You can also convert existing servers into community servers, but for the purpose of this video, we’re starting with a new one. Select that you are creating the server for a club or community.
When you create your server, make sure that you add a photo and brief description of what the Discord community will be. These will be used in multiple places later. Also
Once you are your server setup, we’re going to dive right into server settings To get started, we want to go down to the community tab. This is because by turning this into a community server, we unlock a lot of different features for community servers. Click the ‘Enable Community’ option and select ‘Get Started’. Confirm the options here and click next.
You must have a rules and community updates channel if you are a Discord community server. For both of these, just select ‘Create on for me’. Clicking next will finish setting up the required permissions for your server, and have you agree to the community Discord community server guidelines. You should read these as they are super digestible, and they must be followed in your community.
From there, in the overview tab, you can change your rules channel, updates channel, and set the server’s primary language. You can also add a server description which you should do.
Next, let’s look at the Welcome Screen. This is something you should set up. It is what will show when new users join your server. Select ‘Setup Up Welcome Screen’, choose the channel new members will go to, define what they do, and pick an emoji. Then, add a little information about your server in the top, add additional channels if you want. You can come back and add more later, and preview it in the top right. If it looks good, enable it.
In the video, we go over all of the additional tabs, but we don’t have enough room to outline the rest of them in the description. I do want to look at roles though.
Roles are a HUGE part of a community server. Roles are something you must configure in order for your server to work correctly. We setup three roles plus the default @everyone role. However, you will probably have more, and you can setup as many as you want.
The Moderation section in settings is also super important for a community Discord server, and a must-do in my opinion. Here, you will setup your rules screening as well as AutoMod which allows you to not have any bots on your server but still keep safe and protected. I recommend enabling all of the auto-mod features.
Finally, we can move back into the server itself and setup the channels. Luckily, you have done a majority of the work already, so this is super simple. We setup all of the channels you need for a community Discord server in the video.
Nevertheless, that is how to start a community Discord server. If you have any questions about making your own Discord server, let us know in the comments. We will try to help you out. Otherwise, if we did help you create a Discord community server, be sure to give this video a thumbs up and subscribe if you haven’t already. It really helps us out, and it means a ton to me.

OMG this is GOLD. I followed this after looking around everywhere for a basic overview on how to do this. I love that you did all the settings first and indepth, it makes so much sense. Thank you!

[@Besteddygamerjelly]

I hate light mode it's hurts my eyes but keep it up!❤

[@TheBreakdownXYZ]

I didn’t realize how controversial this was. 😂 We’ve got a lot of Discord tutorials coming, so I’ll switch to dark mode for those. Hope you still enjoy the video though!

Thanks man great video, loved that you emphasized the backend as it helped my understanding of discord servers immensely.

[@AnnieEclectic]

This is amazing thank you so much!! I think I discovered you looking for Minecraft tutorials with my 3 year old but I absolutely love your content, so helpful, informative and not condescending! 🎉

[@NeferpitouMeow]

i have watched so many videos on setting up a discord server and this has been soo much more informative than any other videos I have watched!! Starting with enabling the community - no wonder I struggled so much!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

[@shahar.a]

thanks for the great informational video! loved it and wish to see you do more about how to handle the server once it's growing :) also, do you recommend verification role or is it unnecessary because we made the person who joins read all the rules prior?

[@ShawhinTalebi]

This is super helpful, thank you so much!

You are very welcome. Happy to help!

WHYYY LIGHT MODEEEEE but nice video it was helpful :)

I wasn’t aware just how good Discord’s AutoMod was. Thank you for making this one! I think it’ll help a lot of people long term!

[@PatrickFassler]

Also since everyone else has mentioned it… light mode? 😂💙

[@Besteddygamerjelly]

@@PatrickFassler ye lol

[@TheBreakdownXYZ]

😂😂😂

[@TheBreakdownXYZ]

AutoMod is awesome. It’s honestly one of the best features that Discord has added for server owners in a while if I’m honest. Lessens the dependency on 3rd party bots that could go rogue at any moment.

[@Besteddygamerjelly]

You look like a discord mod, Great video already.

[@victoribironke4527]

Your teaching was what gave you a pass for the grievous sin of using light mode

[@ggsotora]

I usually do dark mode these days, but I also have some very bright places on my PC like on my desktop. I like variation :D

[@TheBreakdownXYZ]

Haha. I’m always using Discord in the day when recording, and have it switch back and forth for honestly the same reason. I like the variation.

[@Whoisdivinxty_]

This was actually helpful, but my dude.... Let's cut to the chase, IS THAT LIGHT MODE!?!!!?!?!??!?!

This is what I imagine when I picture a discord mod

Why do I have the option to add Twitch on my Integrations page instead of KZbin? I need to add YT but it's not there

[@CobraPlayz64]

[@IAmGlxyYT]

the welcome screen option doesnt show for me how do i fix this?

[@katarinagaming9779]

This video should come with a flashbang warning. I didn't know people used light mode

[@innerinsights224]

mine just shows a circle with red line in it when i click on the finish on the last step to enable community discovery

[@luismarcoperezthemsel1677]

can you make a video of how to alocate ram in a powershell serve r is really confusing.

[@realwetter_yt]

i dont have the welcome screen setting under my comminty section in settings: can some one explain me why its differend then in the video?

If I have a server and want to make it a community but there are established roles, channels, bots then do they carry over? Thank you.

light mode is wild

[@rekagobis3337]

Hey. I'm trying to create a community server on Discord for my society but a lot of the buttons that are available on your screen are not showing up for me. For example the "Welcome Sreen" button under community or the "Rules Screening" under moderations. (I clicked Enable Community)

[@xxlunamoonxx373]

That is happening to me too!

[@MyGamesterGaming]

What kinda monster uses light mode. Ty for the tutorial

[@Sawol_ss]

So like will I lose my boosts and set up if I enable the community server on my invite only server?

[@wallaoduser]

Love your content thank you! How do i setup paid membership in my server? maybe VIP channel is for paying members, and the other channels left open for all? What's the best way to go about this?

[@elysiasnumberonefan]

to set up server subscriptins or paid memberships, you need turn n 2fa for ALL staff, not violate discords policy, and no 18+ content publicly - you can find this under "monetization" in your server settings!

[@Gus-BrawlStars]

i dont have the welcome schreen option

[@drjvoices]

BRO NO KZbinRS USE LIGHT MODE 😭😭 Keep up the good work though 💪

[@theboidiff]

When i click on welcome setup, it goes away and doesnt show. Is this a bug?

[@guy-on-a-ch]

I can’t do welcome screen on ipad do you know how to?

[@Raskal_VT]

Discord changed a lot so there are a few removed settings in the setting. Really need to update the video. Also you focus a little too much on the emojis

[@HashAliNZ]

This is great, but by default all my Permissions are turned off and I have to go through and turn them on. What a pain! It'd be good if the @everyone role was the default settings, or have a "Copy permissions from other role"

[@War_daddy_5887]

this needs a 2024 update as a lot of things have changed

[@wobbecraft]

5:19 it opens if you enable ;-)

[@NanosNanoNanos]

As a server owner fist i thought cool lemme watch this just to make sure I didn't miss anything but when I saw the light mode u clicked right off

[@videomaker648]

and why is my roles not set to default, everything is turned off when i creat a new role Please say why it does this. PLEASE @The Breakdown

I'm having issues with the 2fa, do I have to make my own code or use some outside app? I've been trying to make my own code, but every time I do it says invalid code.

[@randonmcguire9871]

Nevermind, I had an "ah ha" moment where I realized it needed my authentication code.

[@videomaker648]

But my welcome screen, i cant enable it, i cant even say things on the server because its disabled i cant even turn it on. and i cant even add another Please say why its doing this! :(
