Starting Your First Discord Server (opens in new tab)

Discord servers provide a single, organized space for friends to chat, play games, and discuss shared interests instead of splitting conversations across multiple group DMs. The post explains how to create a server, invite friends, and use text and voice channels. Its central recommendation is to create a server when a group needs a persistent, flexible home for communication. ## What a Discord Server Is - A server is an organized online space where friends can gather. - It can support gaming, casual conversation, hobbies, and shared media discussions. - Unlike temporary group DMs, a server keeps everyone and their conversations together. ## Creating a Server - Download Discord from [discord.com/download](https://discord.com/download), use the web app at [discord.com/login](https://discord.com/login), or create an account at [discord.com/register](https://discord.com/register). - Click the circular **+** button on the left side of the app. - Choose a server template, such as **Gaming**, which automatically creates relevant channels. - Give the server a name and optionally choose an icon. - The server name and icon can be changed later. ## Inviting Friends - New servers display an **Invite Your Friends** button. - Invitations can be sent directly to Discord friends or shared as an invite link. - If the button is no longer visible, click the server name and select **Invite People**. - Once shared, the server becomes a central gathering place for the group. ## Text Channels - Text channels work like persistent group chats. - Members can send messages, photos, files, and links. - Typing `@` followed by a username notifies a specific person. - By default, everyone in the server can view and post in a newly created text channel. - Separate channels prevent unrelated conversations from becoming mixed together. ## Voice Channels - Voice channels let members join an ongoing audio conversation without triggering a loud incoming-call ringtone. - Users can enter or leave freely, similar to walking into or out of a room. - Voice channels support unlimited participants for voice-only calls and up to 25 people in video calls. - Members can use cameras, stream games, and share their screens. - Each voice channel also includes a small text space for posting messages, memes, or links relevant to that conversation. A Discord server is a practical upgrade from scattered group chats: create one, customize its channels, and invite friends so conversations and activities can stay organized in one persistent space.
