How to add a music bot to Discord

Adding LAVA takes about a minute. You'll need a Discord account and the Manage Server permission on the server you want music in.

  1. 1

    Open the invite link

    Click "Add to Discord" below. Discord will open the official authorization screen for LAVA.

  2. 2

    Pick your server

    Use the "Add to Server" dropdown and choose the server you want LAVA in. You need the Manage Server permission on that server.

  3. 3

    Confirm permissions

    Review the permissions Discord shows and click Authorize. LAVA needs Connect, Speak and message permissions in the channels you'll use it in.

  4. 4

    Join a voice channel

    Hop into any voice channel on your server. LAVA will follow you in when you start playing music.

  5. 5

    Run /play

    In a text channel, type /play and paste a song name, YouTube/Spotify URL or playlist. LAVA joins your voice channel and starts playing instantly.

  6. 6

    Explore the rest

    Try /autoplay for endless related tracks, /247 to keep LAVA in voice 24/7, /filter for bassboost & nightcore, and /save to keep your queue for later.
