Link Discord and WoW to Keep the Guild Chatting Wherever You Are (opens in new tab)

Discord and Blizzard have introduced Linked Guild Chat, connecting World of Warcraft guild chat with Discord channels. Once Battle.net and Discord accounts are linked and a guild officer connects the appropriate channels, messages sync in both directions. The integration is intended to keep guilds coordinated across raids, dungeon runs, and situations where members are away from the game.

Linked Guild Chat

  • Messages sent from Discord appear in WoW guild chat, and vice versa.
  • WoW displays a Discord icon beside messages originating from Discord.
  • Guild members can stay connected whether they are playing WoW, using Discord, or away from their computers.
  • Additional settings include character-name display options and chat filters.

Linking Battle.net and Discord Accounts

  • In Discord, open User Settings.
  • Select Connected Apps, then choose the Battle.net logo.
  • Review the requested permissions and complete the authorization prompts.
  • Accounts can also be linked from within WoW using Blizzard’s setup instructions.
  • Existing connections may need to be updated before the feature works.

Connecting Guild and Discord Channels

A WoW guild leader or officer must connect the channels from the game:

  • Open the Guild & Communities interface with the J hotkey.
  • Go to the Roster tab and select Guild Settings.
  • Choose Discord Settings from the Guild Control dropdown.
  • Select a Discord server and then choose an available channel.
  • Click Link and approve the connection.

The Discord user performing the setup needs Manage Channels, View Channel, and Send Messages permissions on the relevant server.

Practical Benefits for Guilds

  • Members can organize dungeon groups and raid schedules from either platform.
  • Guilds can coordinate supplies, such as flasks, without repeatedly checking multiple chats.
  • Centralized communication should reduce missed messages and make raid preparation less chaotic.

Guilds should link their Battle.net and Discord accounts, then have an appropriately permitted leader or officer connect the desired channel and configure the available chat settings.
