What should a streamer or YouTuber's Discord server include?
Updated · Creators
A creator server needs a #live-now alerts channel, a #schedule with Scheduled Events, #clips and #fan-art forums, a suggestions forum, voice and stage rooms for watch parties, a supporters area for subs or members, and a private team area. Let fans opt into a Live pings role instead of pinging @everyone.
| Area | Channels | Why |
|---|---|---|
| START HERE | #welcome, #rules, #live-now, #schedule | Fans know when you're live |
| COMMUNITY | #general, #clips, #fan-art, #suggestions, #self-promo | Content fans make |
| HANG OUT | Watch party (stage), Lounge, Game night | Community between streams |
| SUPPORTERS | #supporters-chat, #behind-the-scenes | Perk for subs and members |
| TEAM | #team-chat, #video-pipeline | Mods and editors |
Podcast variation
Swap #clips for #episode-discussion (forum, one post per episode), add #guest-suggestions and a listener Q&A forum you read on air.
