for those of you helping to test out discord:

You can join the eGO discord here: https://discord.gg/0tqDVZLnzZRoJh4u

First and foremost, you can see the help center here:
https://support.discordapp.com

Additionally, help make discord better by posting suggestions here: https://feedback.discordapp.com/forums/326712-discord-dream-land

Server issues? Check status here: https://status.discordapp.com/
============================================
Push to Talk
There are limitations to Push to Talk on the web app, you must have the window focused in order to use Push To Talk on the web browser - download the desktop application to resolve this.

Inside user settings you'll need to change your default voice input to push to talk, you can do that in the bottom left by selecting the "Gear cog" next to your name

Once this screen is open, navigate to voice, you can then adjust your input mode and delay (having too low of a delay can cause your sentences to be cut off)

============================================
Notifications
There's two sets of notification options, one for the server and one for your entire profile.

To open the settings for the server, select the "Hamburger" menu in the top left and select "notification settings"

You'll then have a series of options.

You an disable notifications all together here by selecting "nothing" under server notifications" you can also set it to only notify for @mentioned.

an @ mention means when someone calls your name such as @Legend it will notify you (and highlight the text). This is good if you want your friends to be able to ping you to come play a game, without having to use a PM
You can also control each channels' options from this menu

You have further customization options within the user settings notifications to adjust which sounds you will hear *note* this effects ALL servers you are connected to

============================================
Account Setup

Keep in mind that usernames are NOT unique

In order to make sure discord works properly across multiple devices, make sure to setup an account. Signing up for an account is NOT required. You can register an account here: https://discordapp.com/register and then sign in on the discord application. You can do this under the "gear cog" in the lower left hand corner and then filling out username information.


============================================
Managing Channels

Discord has two styles of channels, text channels and voice channels. These are differentiated between channels starting with a carrot (>) and #(text channels)

Thank you for this awesome guide!

However, I only use Discord for chat communications.

All voice comms, I use the normal eGO teamspeak.
