General tips for Discord (and Slack and others) *@name* sends a message to a specific user example: @arcadeshopper This is a great server! Thanks for inviting us! This will directly notify Greg and make his computer beep. It will also put a counter on the server icon, so he can see there's a message waiting.
*@here* sends a message to everyone that is *on line* and connected to a server. *@everyone* sends a message to everyone on the server - online or not. *Use this sparingly. *This should only be used for community announcements and important messages. You can also right-click on someone's name to send a DM (direct message). Your DM conversation shows up in the server list on the left side, and it will also be available in the Home button in the upper left corner: [image: image.png] To set your preferences globally, click the gear icon at the bottom, next to your name: [image: image.png] And if you hook up a microphone, you can voice chat in the voice channels. You can also video chat if you have a webcam. That's super fun. =) Tom Wilson wilso...@gmail.com (619)940-6311 K6ABZ > >>
