Beginner-Friendly Discord Server Tutorial!

I previously made a Discord server tutorial that just handed you a server template and let you figure out Discord role, channel, and category permissions on your own. However, those Discord permissions are actually really hard to understand as a beginner. In this video I aim to educate you on how to set up a Discord server. Hopefully the foundations presented in this video will help you grow your small server into a massive server that can hopefully get the golden prize of becoming Discord partner.

Subscribe so I know that this massive 1hr video wasn't a waste. Jk I know it'll be useful to at least 1 person and that makes me happy :)

[Fybinex]

1 Hour long? This needs to be good!
Now i finally can have a good server, thank you ntts!

[MGmer]

I forgot to say this earlier, but I watched this whole tutorial and used it to setup my own server. For anyone seeing this, it's a great watch, 100% recommend! Good stuff NTTS.

I have been trying to learn how to make a community server on discord, I have no idea what I am doing, BUT thanks to your video I have learned a lot today. Thank you for taking the time to make this! It has been very helpful. You are great at tutorials, very clear and easy to listen to. THANK YOUUUU!

[YTGhostVista]

if yall watching this in 2024, don't worry about getting partner, its gone

[bettercalldelta]

I knew almost everything from this video but didn't realize that it's way cleaner to only assign additional permissions to the staff roles, it's actually also better because you can change @everyone perms and that will apply to staff too

[LadyKayyy]

Wow! The best tutorial I think I've ever seen on YouTube! Thank you for your attention to detail and the time you put into this 🥳

[VeshBeats]

I'll be an ingrate if i don't appreciate this flawless information, I literally just setup my own discord exactly how I have always wanted it to look like. Thanks Once again man

[botangabriel]

The roles can be explained as a progression from

Everyone > to single user


Whatever everyone receive as perms, it transfers to everyone, with further roles separating the users into more privileged ones with more power

This is to enable server admins the ability to just play with how much power someone has

Ultimately, the highest role per say is you as a user

This though indeed becomes more convoluted when specific channels can override user powers, like everyone can see any channel, though private-d channels still end up out of sight, contrary to the above scheme, basically channels have the opposite progression, with them able to trump powers of users

(I should test whether admin powers like edit channels can be ultimately overriden by channels)

[tyverus]

Very helpful. Clear, concise. I actually rebuilt my Discord server (that nobody uses) along with this. Thanks for the vid!

[cobygetsmotion]

this is the best 1 hour video i watched. it was worth watching now i got almost 500 members

[toasty]

Amazing! I just needed a small community server and this is just what I need!

[bradharris]

What @christian below said. Super helpful. I'm not looking to create a super duper server but I did want it set up correctly. Thanks for taking the time to go through it all. Roles and permissions sections was extremely helpful!

[pejmi]

This guys video last year was the start of my discord journey as a discord owner

[Thelordoflizards]

"similar to tiger, but really bad"
Quote of the year XD

[BlueStinger]

Even though I have a server created already, I watched this video from Beginning and too the weird ending XD. It did give me some ideas for my server, so I went and updated that, I love the video

[chakibboumi]

This video has been great, a true tutorial loved every second of it thanks a lot and remember
no text to speach !

[Zaymetric]

Thanks for explaining the role hierarchy system, I found it a bit complex but now I understand it :D

[alikitheofanous]
