Discord is definitely one of the best voice communication apps available today. Thanks to super-optimized sound compression, it can provide uninterrupted, high-quality voice chat even when streaming resource-intensive video games.

Discord works through virtual servers, which direct communication directly between chat participants. Although it may seem complex, it’s actually quite easy to set up your own Discord server. This article will teach you how to set up a Discord server on any device.

How to create a Discord server in a web browser

To use Discord on a Windows or Mac computer, you can use its web app through a browser or download and install the desktop app. Once you set up Discord, the process of creating your first server will be the same, regardless of which version of the app you’re using.

To create a Discord server using the web app, follow these steps:

1. Visit https://discord.com/.

   

2. Click on “Open Discord in your browser” in the main part of the screen. If that button is not available, you can click “Access” in the upper right corner of the screen.

   

3. Enter your username and click the button with the arrow pointing right.

   

4. Now, you’ll probably have to solve an “I’m not a robot” reCAPTCHA challenge. Once you pass the test successfully, you will enter the Discord app.

   

5. Select your date of birth and click “Next.”

   

6. The next screen allows you to create your server from scratch or use one of the common templates, such as Games, Friends, etc. For this tutorial, choose “Create mine.”

   

7. Now, you can define whether this server will be for your personal use or for a club or community. For now, select “For me and my friends.”

   

8. The next screen allows you to customize your server. You can upload an image to use on your server and define the server name. Once you’re done, click “Create.”

   

9. The next page allows you to define the theme for your server. Of course, there is a “Hop” button if you don’t want to do this now.

   

10. Once this is done, you will see the message “Your server is ready!”. notification. Click on the “Take me to my server!”Button to continue.

    

11. Finally, Discord allows you to claim the server you just created. To do this, you will need to create a Discord account by entering your email address and a password.

4. Once the app setup file has completed downloading, go to the Downloads folder and double-click the file to start setup.

   

5. Now, the setup will download the latest updates and open the app once it’s done.

   

6. You should see the “Welcome back!” screen now. If you don’t have a Discord account yet, click “Record” under “Access” button.

   

7. Now, enter your email, username, password and date of birth. Once you’re done, click “Continue.”

   

8. After this, the home page of the app will appear, allowing you to start using Discord.
