    Anatomy of a Discord Server

    The next couple of images will show you the different parts of your Discord account. On the left, the circle icons are all the servers you are a member of. The top one in this example is The Tony Michaels Podcast. On the bottom is the button to adjust your account settings.

    On the left, you will find 'Categories' and 'Channels.' Channels are usually grouped into Categories by topic or type, depending on how the server is created. In the image, this server's channels are grouped into topic categories. On the bottom are music and video channels where members of the server can use the voice/video chat features to chat, listen to music, or watch videos together. On the right are other members of the same server who are online and have their settings set to show their activity status. We'll get back to activity status later on in the guide.
