Discord¶
What's Now Playing's support of Discord is very preliminary at the moment. It supports two modes of operation, both of which may be done simultaneously:
Bot Mode: Using a token, update the presence of a bot account that includes a link to your stream if Twitch is also configured.
Client Mode: If the Discord app is running and a Client ID is provided, update the Discord user's status to the playing song.
Configuration¶
Generic Settings¶
- In order to even start with Discord mode, it must be enabled
- The template selected here is what will be used to fill in the status text.
Client Mode¶
- If the Discord app is not running, start it first.
- Go to your Discord Developers page
- Create an application
- After naming, take the Client ID and put into What's Now Playing's Discord page.
- Restart What's Now Playing. Subsequent launches will connect to Discord as long as the Discord app is already running.
Bot Mode¶
- Go to your Discord Developers page
- Create an application
- Build-a-bot
- Make a note of the token from the bot page
- Invite your bot to your Discord channel
- Put that token into the Discord settings
- Restart What's Now Playing. Subsequent launches will connect to Discord as long as the Discord app is already running.
