What is Discord? 

Discord is a free communication app that is available in all the major app stores. You can download it as a mobile app, as a desktop app, or even just open it in your browser. In Discord you can connect with others via voice, video or text.

Servers

 -On the far left side, you will see a list of circular icons that show what servers you have joined. These are basically different spaces on Discord that connect you to different communities and friend groups. In this image, 2 servers are in this account. 

-You can add a new server by pressing the green plus icon and searching by category or name of what community you are looking for. 

-We included a direct link to our Cephable Community with this tutorial.
