For players: link your account
- Log in to Discord first.
- In game, press Escape, choose Options and open the Social tab.
- Pick Enable Discord Functionality and follow the screens. Discord asks you to confirm the connection.
For guild leaders: link a channel
On the Discord side, the channel needs three permissions for the link: Manage Channels, View Channel and Send Messages.
In game, the guild leader or an officer with permission opens the guild window with J, goes to the Roster tab, then Guild Settings, and under Guild Control chooses Discord Settings. Pick the server and the channel and link it. Blizzard says you can also create a separate Discord chat channel from inside WoW.
How it works in chat
- Messages from Discord and from the game are marked differently, so you can sort them into chat tabs.
- Players who have not linked their account do not appear in the Discord channel.
- For messages coming from Discord, the guild picks the name shown: the default, the member's last online character, or their Discord name.
- Guild leaders can send Discord messages to normal /guild chat or to a separate /discord channel, and change this at any time.
