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.
