If you are a Discord user who worries about new members feeling welcome on your server, then you have come to the right place.

In this how-to, you will find information on how to write a welcome message that will make everyone feel included and welcome.

Welcome messages in Discord pop up when a new member joins a server. Moreover, users can set other options related to this feature, giving them greater control over who sees the message.

How to set up a customized welcome message on Discord

Welcome messages are not a default option in Discord.

There are a few setups users need to go through to write their welcome message.

However, the process is easy and straightforward, and all the steps can be found below.

First step: Install MEE6

1. Log in to your Discord account.
2. Go to MEE6 and install the Discord bot on your server.
3. Choose the Discord server on which you want the bot to be installed.

Second step: Customize the welcome message

1. From the left-hand menu, select' Welcome' under the 'Server management.'

2. Toggle the button next to 'Send a message when a user joins the server'.

3. From the first drop-down menu select the channel where you want the message to appear.

4. In the 'Text message' field, type in your message and click 'Save' at the bottom of the screen.

That's it!

Each time a new server member joins in, they will receive your custom message.

Bonus steps for customization

We all know that Discord is an advanced VolP app with many beneficial features under its belt.

Thus, the app has been widely used, especially in the gaming community, and slowly but surely becomes a preferred communication app among other communities.

That being said, welcome messages can be customized in many other ways besides users writing them themselves.

For premium users, Discord allows choosing a different font style and colors for their welcome card.

Users can also send private messages to every new member and customize them by writing the message themselves.

Also, users can send customized goodbye messages in Discord once someone from their member list decides to leave the server.

Many Discord users experience an error message stating "Message Failed To Load." If you've ever gotten this error message, check out what might be the reasons causing it and how to fix it.
