Discord is one of the most used chat and voice platforms in the world, With Zoom and Skype, Discord makes it possible for people everywhere to connect in real time, via video, voice, shared screen, etc.
Discord, unlike other platforms, It has a vast arsenal of bots that allow it to perform a lot of quite interesting functions, thus making it a much more interactive chat. On Discord you can play games, listen to music, look videos, do group talks, forums, etc. All accompanied by the number of people you want.
One of the most done activities by Discord, is to watch videos, series, films, etc. Together with other people, make a video call while watching the video, all in real time. For this case, let's explain how to watch a YouTube video, without needing to share a screen, simply using a simple bot, el ‘None Bot’.
What is None Bot on Discord?
There are all kinds of bots, that fulfill all kinds of functions, for this case we want to tell you about the ‘None Bot’ of Discord. This is a bot that enables you to watch YouTube videos without needing to share screens.
What None Bot does is simply create a kind of Youtube extension within Discord itself, thus allowing the channel administrator to search for all types of videos, as if i was on youtube, and in this way, allow other users to view the same video within the channel, but without the chance that they can run it as administrator if they don't want it.
How to configure None Bot to watch Youtube videos with my friends
Like most bots, el None Bot, has to be installed and configured to be used in Discord, since none of these bots come by default with the system.
The first thing we will have to do to be able to use this bot, it will be create a server, which will be dedicated solely to the invitation of the same Bot. After creating the server, let's say we call it ‘Youtube server‘, we will proceed to invite the bot.
Once we have invited the bot, through the respective link, we will proceed to authorize it, verify that we are human and voila, we can have our video channel through YouTube.
After you have created this server so that you and your group of friends can watch YouTube videos together, we will proceed to create a voice channel, what can we call ‘Youtube server voice‘, just to give an example. Once the 2 channels, now we can watch YouTube videos and talk at the same time, no problem.
Don't invite any bots while on a Discord channel
If you don't want to create a server from scratch, since it is very likely that you have already done it for a long time, you will simply have to perform the classic procedure of add a bot to your channel.
You must verify that this bot fulfills the functions you want and look for the option to 'add bot to the server', this option will display a new tab, in which we will have to we select the channel to which we want to add the bot and then fill in all the pertinent data, authorize the bot and voila.
How to activate the link to Discord chat
This step is as simple as copying and pasting the same link in the confirmation tab of the Bot. We will simply have to paste this link in the box where we add the bot to be able to invite it to our channel and that's it.
Press in general and create a YouTube video list
This bot offers us a way quite simple and practical to be able to watch our videos without having to share a screen, since we will only have to search for the videos as if it were the same YouTube search engine.
But at the same time of that, this bot will allow us to create a playlist, so that in this way we can queue all the videos and songs that we want to play in it. Quite ideal so that everyone who participates in the chat has the possibility of making the requests they want, in an orderly way.
Which friends can watch the videos I add to the Discord list?
Who or who can see our videos on this channel will vary depending on the type of channel you have, since evidently, if you have a public channel, just anyone who has a link to enter it, will be able to see the videos you play. in the same, even without needing a link, since simply with the name of the channel, any user can enter it.
Now, if what you have is a private channelOnly users who have the invitation link and, at the same time, the password (and apply) the channel will be able to see the videos of the same.
Once inside the canal, whatever the modality, Any user will be able to see the videos that are reproduced there, and in this way, to be able to spend a pleasant enough time with friends anywhere in the world.
