Getting music into your Discord server takes about a minute. This guide covers inviting Fibra, the permissions it needs, your first song, and where to go next.

Step 1: Invite Fibra to your server

  1. 1
    Open the invite link
    Click Add to Discord on the Fibra homepage or use this invite link.
  2. 2
    Pick your server
    Choose the server from the dropdown. You'll only see servers where you have the Manage Server permission.
  3. 3
    Keep the suggested permissions
    Leave the permissions ticked and click Authorize. Fibra needs them to join voice, send messages and show its player.
  4. 4
    Check it joined
    Fibra appears in your member list. Type / in any channel and you'll see its commands.

Step 2: Play your first song

  1. 1
    Join a voice channel
    Fibra plays in the voice channel you're in, so hop into one first.
  2. 2
    Use /play
    Type /play and then a song name, a search, or a link from YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud or another supported source. For example: /play never gonna give you up.
  3. 3
    Control playback
    Use /pause, /resume, /skip and /volume, or the buttons on Fibra's now-playing message.

Step 3: Build a queue

Every /play adds to the queue. /queue shows what's coming up, /playtop puts a song next, /shuffle mixes things up and /loop repeats a song or the whole queue. Paste a playlist link and Fibra queues the whole thing.

Step 4: Open the dashboard

The dashboard is where you set up everything that isn't music playback: welcome messages, tickets, role panels, giveaways and social alerts. Log in with Discord, choose your server, and pick a module. You need the Manage Server permission to change settings.

If something doesn't work

  • Fibra doesn't join the voice channel: make sure it has Connect and Speak permissions in that channel.
  • Commands don't show up: check you're typing / and that an admin hasn't restricted the bot to certain channels.
  • A command says you need DJ: the server has DJ mode on. Ask an admin for the DJ role.
  • Still stuck? Join the Fibra support server and the team will help.

Frequently asked questions

Why can't I see my server when inviting Fibra?+

You need the Manage Server permission on a server to add bots to it. Ask a server admin to invite Fibra, or to give you that permission.

Fibra joined but there's no sound. What do I check?+

Make sure Fibra has Connect and Speak permissions in the voice channel, isn't server-muted, and that the /volume isn't set very low.

Can Fibra play in more than one voice channel?+

One Fibra bot plays in one voice channel per server. Premium plans include extra Fibra bots so you can run music in several channels at once.
