# Creating a Discord bot

* 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 Discord server, go to Server Settings->Members and make sure that the bot has a role that has administrator role assigned with access to all permissions (such as Manage Roles, Kick Users, Send Messages, etc.)
* 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
