To create a Discord bot, please follow these steps.
First, you will need to create a Discord app, a bot and add it to your Discord server. Do NOT add the bot to more than one Discord server. Ensure that bot has Administrator rights when it is created and also that it has an Administrator role in your Discord server (i.e. can manage roles, etc.). See this video for instructions (from 1:57-4:30) https://youtu.be/aO4XokwEx6Q?t=117. Adjust Bot setting to give it proper access by clicking on the Bot on the left and enabling PRESENCE INTENT and SERVER MEMBERS INTENT
Once the bot is in your server, the bot should be assigned an admin role in your Discord server with access to all permissions (such as Manage Roles, Kick Users, Send Messages, etc.) Once the bot is in your Discord server, copy the bot token and enter it in the Streams Manager. Please note that the bot does not need to show as online for it to work
Click the Test button to test the settings. Test will attempt to fetch members of your discord server and add a role to one of the users. Make sure the test is successful
