      Mate, do you know how to solve web login issue in discord? I'm being referred to some weird form, when i try to login, eventually getting a message "this email is already registered". I've tried to login via mobile with the same user/pass and it was okay. :(((

    Thanks for your help. Elder Millennial here and I'm very tech savvy. Been able to get away with avoiding Discord until just now, as I like to keep my electronic footprint small (not liking that my information is constantly being passed around from corp to corp), but had no choice but to join a server today. But Discord's interface is just exhausting to look at. Frankly, I'd rather be expending mental energy programming shaders than trying to figure out the trivialities of which buttons do what on Discord's very disorganized-looking UI.

  • @jacquesdemolay5171

    Before watching this video I found Discord to be totally confounding. After watching this...even more so. A relatively new platform should not be this complicated and difficult to understand. Honestly, I can't imagine what it's like inside the brains of the people who created Discord. Life in 2020 shouldn't be this difficult.

      Jacques de Molay Start by chatting and getting used to the layout etc. This video will be very confusing if you don't even know how does the app look. My tip is simple. Join a discord server and start to get used to chatting, and all the chat options, like emotes etc. A good set up server will allow you to learn more than a thousand videos. Look around, discover but don't create your own server yet. Get used to all the things like spoiler text, or quoting a message etc, learning how bots work in general and roles management should only be after you get used to the app.

      People should only hear you when you are in a voice channel or are in a direct call with someone. On the bottom left corner where your username is displayed, there will be buttons that appear when your voice is connected to any call. I do believe there are glitches that rarely happen where your voice is connected even out of a call, but it is rare and can easily be fixed by closing the app or muting the microphone.

    May I link this video in my next live steam to have as a tutorial for people to use?

    I once joined Discord. I was invited by a channel owner to talk about some aspect of science but had no idea what Discord was. I imagined it was some sort of dead simple texting type thing that was separate from TH-cam live chat. When it came on the screen I found the whole thing a visual mess. I was totally confused. I didn’t know how to create a server was or even what a server was. I was horrified when I found I couldn’t delete or cancel it. I was completely out of my depth. I suffer from depression & anxiety and I’m a complete introvert. I clicked about at random and found I’d opened all sorts of things I had no interest in. Everyone texting seemed to be using a different language, a kind of distorted, clipped type of English with loads of strange acronyms. I actually had a panic attack. I couldn’t get out of it and had to ask the channel owner who first asked me to join to help me cancel my membership, which he did. I was in such a state that he said he said I’d frightened him. I think he thought I might jump off a bridge or something. I saw this video and watched out of curiosity. I guess it is very helpful but I won’t be rejoining. Even though I get along with most of the stuff in this modern, mess of a world, I guess Discord is too modern and messy for me. Am I the only one who had such an extreme reaction to It.
