-
Find and invite a music bot. You can use sites like https://top.gg/tag/music to search for good music bots.
- FredBoat is a good music bot that plays music from Vimeo, Bandcamp, Soundcloud, Deezer, Dailymotion, or Twitch.
- Once you find the bot, you can invite it to a server where you have admin privileges. If you don't have admin privileges, using an app to play music might be a better option for you.
- Some servers that you join might already have music bots added; just ask an admin if one already exists that you can use.
-
Enter the command to play a song. The various bots have different commands, so what works for one may not work for another.
- For example, to start playing a song on FredBoat, type the command /play , then paste the URL of a song. The URL must be from Vimeo, Bandcamp, Soundcloud, Deezer, Dailymotion, or Twitch. However, if you don't have a URL, you can simply enter the song name and the bot will display all the songs matching that title.
- Many music bots also link to a website that details more commands that you can use.
