 If you are about to join somebody's Discord server, then you need to watch this first because there is one common mistake that so many people make when they are signing up to other people's servers to join their communities. And so that's what I'm gonna tell you about in this video. I'm then gonna tell you how you can join my Discord server and I don't need to make this mistake as so many other people, including me, have made before. So, what am I talking about? Well, if I come over to a typical invite screen that you might get if somebody's given you an invite, by the way, I'll leave a link to my server, obviously, in the description, but here it is, just in case, takeonetech.io slash discord. While you're there, you could also just check out the website, takeonetech.io, and you can see it just up at the top as well so you can just get it to it straight from here. So if you click on the Discord link or follow the direct link in the description of this video, it will take you to this screen. So this is kind of like the standard Discord server invite screen. So if you want to join a particular community or they are trying to ask you to join, then they'll send you to a screen that looks like this. It's got the name of the community in question. So here, takeonetech. And then it's got this thing here, prompting you to enter a username. What should everyone call you, it asks. So you would think, well, there we go, I'm gonna create a username for this particular community that I'm about to join and click continue. What that's actually doing, though, is it is creating a new Discord account. So if you've never used Discord ever before for anybody else's community, well, I'm very pleased that you are considering mine as your first. And in which case, this process is totally fine. But if you are already a member of a community, then what you want to do is come down to here. And I know that this might seem obvious to some longtime users of Discord, but there is this button here that says, or this link here that says already have an account. And if you click on that, it is gonna prompt you to actually log in with your existing password. So that now has loaded up this page where you can enter in just your Discord username and password. Or if you've got the Discord app on your phone, you can log in using the QR code method like that. So that is just what I wanted to tell you because it is very easy to get mistaken and think that you would just be creating a password, or sorry, a username for the particular server. But there is a way that you can create a separate username in the server that you've joined. Once you have joined it, then you'll be into the server. So here we are in my server. And then what you can do is come up to the top and where it says, if you click on the little drop down here, this little drop down arrow next to the server name, you do have something down here which is edit server profile. So just come and have a look down here. Some servers enable this, some of them disable it. It depends on the server. But if you click on this one, then basically it's gonna start with your Discord username and then you can just change it to be whatever you want. So you can create a separate sort of nickname just for that server. And you can also do some other things in here like change your bio and different things like that and add a banner and various other different things. If indeed they have enabled these on that server. So that is how you would be able to actually change your display name. So if you don't want to use the same display name in different servers, you may have a business server that you remember of and some other different clubs, communities, whatever it happens to be, or maybe even my server, hopefully. Let me just stick that up one more time. Then you can always change your name that way. So I just wanted to make this quick video though about that because as I say, it can lead to, if you aren't aware of it, I've seen a number of people where they've created multiple different profiles in the same server and they don't really even realize why it is. And that is because they've, can't get back into their account, can't get back onto the server. So they think, oh, I'll just click the invite link again and get in again that way. And so they create a new login. So it's often the case that there are sort of multiple different people or one person with multiple different user accounts. And so that is just the little bit of public information that I wanted to bring to you today. I hope you've found that useful. I'll leave a link to some other Discord related videos over on the right hand side. So I'll see you in some of those.
