How do I run my editing and content team on Discord?
Updated · Creators
Add a private TEAM category to your server with a #video-pipeline forum (one post per video, tags for each stage: Idea, Script, Recording, Editing, Thumbnail, Scheduled), a #team-chat and a review voice room. Give editors and designers a role that sees only TEAM, and keep large files on your storage tool with links in the post.
| Tag | Who moves it | Done when |
|---|---|---|
| Idea | Anyone | Creator approves |
| Script | Creator / writer | Script linked in post |
| Recording | Creator | Raw files uploaded |
| Editing | Editor | Cut linked for review |
| Thumbnail | Designer | Final thumbnail chosen |
| Scheduled | Creator | Publish date set |
Roles
- Creator
- Manager
- Editor
- Designer
- Moderator (community only, no TEAM access)
File handoff
Discord has upload size limits that depend on your plan; video projects belong on your cloud storage. Post links in the pipeline post so history stays in one place.
Quick answers
- Should my team have a separate server?
- A private category is enough for small teams. Use a separate server if you have many contractors who shouldn't be in your community.
- Can I give an editor access without moderation powers?
- Yes: an Editor role with View Channel on TEAM only.
- How do reviews work?
- Post the cut link in the video's pipeline post and leave timestamped feedback as replies.
