## Usage
|
|
|
|
This section addresses various features of Discord.
|
|
|
|
### Disable Automatic Update Checks
|
|
|
|
By default, Discord performs an automatic check to see if it is up to date.
|
|
On [Linux](/wiki/linux.md)-based systems it can be disabled by adding `"SKIP_HOST_UPDATE": true` to
|
|
the `~/.config/discord/settings.json` file.
|
|
|
|
### Setting Up a Music Bot
|
|
|
|
For Discord there are various bots capable of playing music.
|
|
The following is a list of bots featured in this wiki that can do this.
|
|
|
|
- [Sinusbot](/wiki/sinusbot.md) is a self-hosted bot for Discord that can play music and sounds.
|
|
It's closed-source and free of charge.
|
|
It also features [TeamSpeak](/wiki/teamspeak.md) support.
|
|
|
|
### Themes and Plugins
|
|
|
|
By default Discord has no option to use themes or plugins.
|
|
To use themes or plugins [alternative frontends or client modifications](#alternatives) have to be
|
|
used.

### Streaming Audio not Possible
|
|
|
|
Using the default client when sharing the screen the audio might not be streamed aswell.

this section is based on a
|
|
[Reddit comment by Malo1301](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1kbplea/no_audio_when_sharing_screen_on_discord_for_linux/).
|
|
This can happen with both [Wayland](/wiki/linux/wayland.md) and
|
|
[X11](/wiki/linux/x_window_system.md).
|
|
The simplest way to fix is to use [Vesktop](https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop).
