Discord is the free chatting platform for gamers – a very popular platform and is used by more than thousands of gamers worldwide. The application is fairly easy to use while managing the Discord servers do not require much assistance also.
The application itself has quite a significant amount of features, but more features can never hurt the gamers to make their usage even better than what it is already. Every user uses Discord in the way they want to – multiple customizations according to their preferences. Apart from the other features, Discord also paves the way for the users to add the bots.
Now, the first question is what is a bot? Bots are some simple computer programs meant for interaction with humans, or other bots to perform the functions automatically. On the websites with the customer chat support, it is usually a bot you have been talking to (at least for the initial part of the conversation).
Bots can be either irritating or helpful, and this depends on various factors like their purpose, the design, and how they are deployed. On the Discord server, these bots are created for different features, which may be productive or not-too-productive for you. Like, some bots can play music for you, some bots offer you memes, while the other fetch your game statistics.
There are more than thousands of bots available for your Discord server, thus finding the right one is important. These bots are free, but there are both silly and useful bots available.

Manage the Server
Once you are logged into your site, first check the permissions on the server which you want to add the bot to. You need to have those permissions using the “Manage Server” option.

The installation process differs for every website and bot. Most of the websites will comprise of a button which would say Install, Invite or Add Bot to the Server. Once you click on this button, you will be redirected to the Discord dashboard. If you are not logged into your Discord account already, then you will be asked to log in first.
Manage the Server

Downloading from Discord Bots requires a similar procedure, but installing them from GitHub will be different. Let us see how to add bots from GitHub to the Discord server.
For this purpose, you require a Client Id of the bot that you want to add. This can be done in two steps:
Open the following link on your browser.
https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=%3cBot_Client_ID%3e&scope=bot&permissions=0
If you directly run the above link, you will find an error. So, find the Client Id of your bot on Github, and replace it in the link above.
Once you are done with authorization, you will have your bot added to the server.
Adding a bot to discord is very simple, and in just a few minutes, you can have your fully functional bot ready for you to play with. Since you have now learned how to add bots, go and make your Discord more interesting place to be in with the different bots.
