How to enable developer mode on Discord
Discord has many features for gamers and community builders, but if you don't see what you're looking for, you'll have to add a bot. You should first enable Discord's developer mode if you're a bot developer.
Developer mode allows you to see additional information in the Discord client, such as your server's channel and message IDs. For example, if you're creating a bot to monitor and post in a specific channel, you'll need this information to guide the bot.
This is just one of many pieces of information you'll need to create your Discord bots for your server. Developer mode can be enabled in the Discord desktop client for Windows 10 and Mac, the Discord web client, or the mobile apps for Android, iPhone, and iPad.
