That is why, if we want to enjoy music on our Discord server, we can do it by linking our Spotify account or by inserting a Bot. In this way, while we chat with our friends or play online, we can listen to music in a very simple way, as we are going to see below.
How to put music on Discord with Spotify
The only way we have available on Discord to play music without using a Bot is by linking it with our Spotify account, the popular streaming music platform. For this, the first thing will be open a free account on Spotifyif we still do not have it, for which we must click on this link to their official website. Later we click on the “REGISTER” button for which we can use our email or directly with our Google or Facebook. Once registered, we must access and choose any topic we want to hear.
Next, we open Discord and we are going to click on the gear icon that we find in the lower left, which will take us to the User settings. Here, we click on “Connections” and look for the spotify icon in the “Connect your accounts” tab.
This will open a browser window for us to enter our Spotify credentials and accept the terms by clicking on the button. “To accept” at the bottom of the screen.
Later a notification should appear that says “You connected your Spotify account to Discord”.
If we go to Discord we will check how the account has been linked and now we can start listening to songs in the application.
Bot to play music
In the event that we do not want to use Spotify, we can also choose different Bots through which we can play music on our server.
FreBoat
If we want to add music to our calls with Discord, we must configure a Bot called fredboat. To do this, we must click on this link to your website and click on the button Invite to Server.
On the next screen we must choose the Discord server to which we want to add it and click on the purple button. Authorize.
Next, we check the box I’m human.
Now we go back to Discord and click on the voice channel. Next, we only have to tell FredBoat which song we want the bot to play using the command:
play [URL]
For example, we can tell it to play a YouTube video by what it would be:
play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5arYRWrsYnI
Unlike searching for a specific URL, we can also search for the name of the song by typing “play name of song”. It is possible to stop playback by typing “stop”. Additionally, it is possible to use commands to allow others on our channel to vote to skip the currently playing song.
If we want to know the complete list of all the commands that are compatible with FredBoat, just click on this link to their official website.
Vexera
This Bot allows Discord users to be able to add songs on their Discord server music channel. It has functionalities such as adding songs to a playlist, adding lists from platforms such as YouTube or Spotify through simple commands. It has many features similar to music players like pause, resume, play, queue, back, delete, skip shuffle… and all from our Discord server.
To begin we must access the Vexera website. Here we must click on the link “Add to your Discord server” and later we must log in to our Discord account.
Next, a screen appears where we must select Discord server to which we want to add Vexera and click on “Continue”.
Once the server to which we want to add the Vexera Bot has been selected, it will ask us access permission. We will automatically have administrator access, or uncheck the option if we do not want the Bot to have full access to our server. Finally, we press the “Authorize” button.
Now we only have to click on the “I am human” button on the next screen.
Now we go back to Discord and click on the voice channel. Next, we only have to tell Vexera which song we want the bot to play using the command:
play [URL]
For example, we can tell it to play a YouTube video by what it would be:
play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5arYRWrsYnI
We can find the complete list of supported commands by clicking on this link to the developer’s website.
Ayana
Another essential bot to listen to music on our Discord server is Ayana. With it we can play all kinds of music and content from platforms such as YouTube (with search), SoundCloud, Twitch, etc. To start, just access Ayana’s official website and click on the button “Invite”.
Subsequently, we must select Discord server to which we want to link and click on “Continue”.
In the new screen, all the permissions that we can grant to the Bot appear and if necessary, we can uncheck those that we do not want to grant and click on the button “Authorize”.
Finally, it only remains to press the button I’m human.
With this we already have it added to Discord. Now we can tell Ayana what song we want the bot to play using the command:
play [URL]
For example, we can tell it to play a YouTube video by what it would be:
play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5arYRWrsYnI
If we want to know the entire list of Bot commands, we can know it by clicking on this link to your website.
