Overlay


Spoiler :
The overlay can be used in game to access discord and to see who has joined/left your channel. This will show you how to set it up to work in game. Note: Discord has stated that the overlay may be flagged by some anti-virus software. You can find more information here:https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/217659737

These are the settings I recommend for your overlay. You may change the keybind to something more suitable to fit you.

Once you have set this up, you will need to go to games and enable the overlay in the games that you play.

Channel Settings/Permissions.
Once you have got your channel set up, you will want to edit your channel in order to only allow certain people to join, since there are no passwords.

These are the sort of settings you will want to give yourself:

Music bot / Music channel commands


Spoiler :
!Play - Play queues a song to be played next in line, this is done by typing !Play followed by a link or name of a song. For example !Play Lady Gaga Pokerface
!Search - This allows an individual to search for relevant results, eg !Search Lady Gaga
!L or !Lyrics - This posts the lyrics of the song being played - Not very accurate...
!NP - Shows what song is now playing
!Seek - Seeks to a point in a track
Note: This are not all the commands but are the relevant ones taken from the Rythm website: https://rythmbot.co/features
