How To Setup Twitch Subscriber Roles In Discord!

If someone is going to subscribe to your twitch  channel it means they like and want to support   your content and in turn that means you need  to show them that they’re important and you   appreciate what they’re doing one of the best  and easiest ways to do this is by setting up a  

Twitch subscriber role in your discord today i’m  going to be showing you guys how to link your   discord through with your twitch to make it more  discoverable how to make sure the subscriber role   is working automatically so you don’t have to do  anything at all how to set up the subscriber role  

And generally i want to cover a lot of points  that i think when i first started the tutorials   that i watched didn’t cover with this and i’ve had  to kind of stumble across along the way let’s go   hey guys my name is Eljay with streamscheme.com  i’m also a variety streamer over at  

Twitch.tv/eljayem_ links to both those in the  descriptions and today i’m gonna be showing you   guys how to add a bit more incentive for people  to subscribe to your twitch stream now we are   gonna be doing this by setting up subscriber  roles on discord but before you go anywhere  

Because you’re not an affiliate you really should  watch this video anyway because at the end of the   day you’re gonna need to know how to do this for  when you reach affiliate and it’ll give you a lot  

Of really solid tips when it comes to setting up  your community’s discord your roles and everything   along those lines as always i have time codes  in the description and in the top comments so   use those to jump to wherever you need to  go but let’s just get into it one of the  

Reasons a discord is so crucial for every single  streamer and every single twitch stream that is   is because a follow doesn’t mean anything after  you get your first 50 followers followers stop   mattering because at the end of the day a  follow doesn’t equal a viewer who’s going  

To return a follower just shows someone  might want to have their name on screen   or express interest however joining a discord  shows heavy intent that is someone who wants   to be a part of the community they want to  make friends they want to engage with people  

So if you don’t have a discord server for your  stream you’re making a serious mistake and you’re   going to really hamper how much you can grow and  in turn once you have that discord set up if you  

Reach affiliate and people start subscribing all  you have to do is follow through with these video   steps and suddenly half the people in your discord  get a special subscriber role and they get special   subscriber channels where they can do things with  you so before i get into the first step i do want  

To check it out there what is the funniest or  best discord channel you’ve ever seen in my   discord we have a channel called pet photos where  people just post photos of their adorable pets  

It is the best thing in my life don’t tell my wife  and at the end of the day if you also need help   setting up a discord server let me know exactly  what you’re curious about and i’ll make a video on  

That as well just want to help you guys out okay  so let’s get into the first step and get over to   the computer so the first step you’re going to  need to do whether you’re a subscriber hoping to  

Join a stream is discord or if you’re a streamer  is connect your twitch to your discord this is   crucial so open up discord hit the cog wheel to  go to your user settings and click connections   when you’re in here you can click twitch and  follow the steps to connect your twitch account  

Once you’re done you’ll see something like mine  here see i haven’t already linked so these are   all the channels who i’ve been gifted a twitch  sub or i potentially follow so i can click join   in this connection step i want to quickly add  something though you should review what is  

Displaying on your profile in this area the amount  of people who i have had to give a quick heads up   to because they have their entire full name and  personal information linked to their discord   and it’s being displayed on their profile from  facebook or spotify or something is a bit worrying  

And almost every single one of them has freaked  out when they’ve realized that’s been the case   if you add a connection make sure you’re not  displaying it on the profile unless you’re   absolutely comfortable too now that your personal  discord is linked through the connections tab that  

I showed you with your twitch account now we need  to set up your server to be linked to your twitch   account as well before i do that though i’m gonna  throw it out there if this video helps you out at  

All maybe instead of checking out my other content  i release videos weekly on all things twitch all   things streaming and we’re gonna think about doing  a few more discord videos so maybe subscribe and   check out my other content okay so we’re gonna  show you how to link that server to your twitch  

Account and then edit roles and create roles for  subscribers let’s get back over to the computer   so head over to the server that you want  linked to your twitch click the drop down   arrow and click integrations on the menu  so you’ll want to integrate your twitch  

And if you have linked everything properly  you’ll see something along the lines of this   what you’ll want to do is you want to click sync  and after doing that you’ll be showing a lot of   new options such as synced roles here which is  a role that has now been automatically created  

And we’ll show you how to edit that in a  second you’ll see how many of your subs have   synced their discord as well and then you’ll have  expired sub behavior as well as the grace period   the expired sub behavior explains what’s going to  happen when someone’s twitch subscription runs out  

Say you have it set to two weeks and you have  it set to remove subrole it means that after   two weeks if they haven’t resubscribed they will  lose their sub role in discord i have mine set  

To 24 hours because we get a lot of gift subs on  my channel and it just means that when those gift   subs run out within 24 hours they’re removed from  that automatically i just have mine so that they  

Lose their role however you can also set this up  to kick them if you just want to subscribe only   discord but if you’re small that’s really going  to hamper your growth but at the same time it   could be an incentive for people to continue their  subscriptions that’s entirely up to you to decide  

I personally think it’s a little bit extreme  to kick someone when all you’re trying to   do is build a community another thing you want  to click while you’re here is the allow synced   subscribers to use your twitch custom emoticons  in discord button because why not let people use  

Your remotes wherever they go or whatever they  do they’re subscribed to you so they can use   them and it’s good advertising so let’s get into  editing your subscriber roles i’ve been watching   a lot of tutorials about this to make sure that  everything i’m gonna say is correct and make sure  

It’s covered properly and i noticed that a lot  of tutorials said you need to create a role but   here’s the thing you don’t actually need to create  a role here it would have already created the role  

When you first synced everything up if you do  want to make a whole new name and stuff you can   just edit the world it’s already been created or  you can make a new one and then change it here but  

I kind of think that’s just extra steps that you  don’t really need to cover it’s too confusing so   let’s just stick with using twitch subscribers  for now so you’ve got everything linked up you   should have the twitch subscriber role  automatically added to your discord  

And we’re gonna get into the editing definitions  for that role so head back to the role section   click on twitch subscriber this is the base  role here you’ll see mine we have tier one   through three don’t worry about that you  can change the name here or the color  

My subscribers are pink and i have display  roll members separately from online members   meaning they appear on the side of discord under  a heading that says twitch subscriber next you   have allow anyone to at mention this role i would  recommend turning this off or else people can add  

Twitch subscriber and spam all of your subs now  onto general permissions you’ll see that i have   almost everything turned off here see twitch subs  aren’t admins or moderators i don’t want to be   able to manage roles the server changing nicknames  no kicking or banning all the way down until the  

Option where they turn on is read text channels  and see voice channels because obviously we don’t   have this turned on then they can’t even use the  discord so you’ve set up the permissions now the   second to last step is setting up the categories  and channels for your subscribers to use  

But before we get into that the very last step on  this is the most important of everything so please   do not go anywhere we’ll cover this step and the  very last one is actually really really important  

Okay so you’ll want to click the drop down on your  server click create category and give it a name   such as subscriber channels click private you’ll  get an option to choose who can use this category  

So you’ll select your mods your twitch subscribers  etc whatever roles you want to be able to use this   now once the channel or category has been  created right click on it click edit category   click permissions click roll and you get a lot of  options the slash means it inherits the settings  

You chose when you made this role but a lot of new  settings are here so we need to go through this   i’d recommend turning on and turning off the  following turn on send messages turn off text to  

Speech because it can be spammy turn off manage  since subs aren’t mods they don’t need to edit   it’s up to you about embed links and attach files  but i have it on because my mods will delete  

Anything bad in my channels i have read message  history on which means when they first join they   can read back through the conversations or they  can see announcements when it comes to mention   ads i have these off because again only mods and  myself should be able to ping all the hundreds of  

People in my discord use external emojis is up to  you but i have nothing wrong with it so i have yes   and ad reactions is a big yes because people  love reacting to content if you’re planning on  

Adding voice channels which i think is a good idea  turn on connect and speak but video i’d say it’s   also up to you but i have it off don’t let the  mute definitely move members because again this  

Is more for moderators and the final one is voice  activity i have this off but sometimes if you have   people with really bad mics and lots of noise you  can enforce push to talk to make it a bit easier  

On life so hit save on these permissions head back  and click the plus next to the category to create   a channel you’ll get three options text voice and  announcements just hit text for now click private   click twitch subscriber roles or whatever your  name for your twitch subscribers are don’t forget  

To name the new channel as well right click edit  channel permissions and click sync now this will   sync the channel to the permissions you set up  for the category this is the same for your voice  

Channel as well the only time you want to create  a new channel in this category that you don’t have   the same synced permissions is for example you’re  creating an announcement channel or a channel   you don’t want the subs to see in that case you  won’t sync it you’ll just create your whole new  

Permissions just for that one so i have one where  they can’t send messages but they can also just   read it and add reactions this is my announcement  or my kind of like news channel for the subs so  

You’re almost done but the final step is the most  important and it is a brand new feature discord   only just brought out lj why is it so important to  do this last step well if you don’t do this last  

Step you could be trying to settle this up and you  have no way to know whether or not it worked so   what you’re going to do is you’re going to go back  to your role settings click on twitch subscriber  

And click view server as this role it will show  you everything the role can do and see i know that   sounds simple but it is crucial because if you  don’t do this you could set everything up and then  

Wonder why people aren’t using a certain channel  or a certain voice thing but at the end of the day   they can’t even see it but you can because you’re  an admin speaking of troubleshooting if you have  

Any issues or any concerns or you need help with  anything chuck it in the comments down below i   answer every single person or if you want you can  even reach out to us on twitter or you can check  

Me out when i’m live and i’m happy to help where i  can with all that out of the way you now have sub   channels set up on your discord i hope it helped  i hope the screen recordings were clear enough  

For you guys i create videos weekly so think  about subscribing and i will see you next week
