What are categories in discord?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The gamers’ favorite application, Discord, provides users with new and handy features every now and then. This application is amazing for gamers online, to say the least, as you can communicate with your in-game team members with ease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that said, what if you have multiple channels for different groups of friends and teammates? In order to organize the groups securely, Discord has launched yet another feature for all, aka the category section. It provides permission for having and organizing multiple channels at the same time and allows the gamers to work specifically on each channel. For starters, the channel can be organized in the category settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like the channels do have permission, the same goes for the category. You will have to manage the settings permission to organize the channels under the category section neatly. This way, it will improvise the structure of your server account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
