Discord is a popular chat app with a ton of great features. One of those features is the ability to create your own channels.
This can be handy for creating groups specifically for certain activities, like a rules channel for your game group.

Let's get started!
How to Make a Rules Channel in Discord?
- Right-click on your server and select ‘Create channel’ from the drop-down menu.
- Select the ‘text-channel’ option and name your new channel ‘rules’.
- Once the channel shows up on your left-hand menu, hover over it and click on the ‘gear icon’ (Server settings).
- Click on ‘Permissions’; next, click on ‘Advanced permissions’. You can adjust the settings as you wish; however, we recommend setting the roles to everyone, disabling the ability to send messages, and enabling users to view your message history. In the end, click ‘Save changes.’
- Next, go back and click on ‘Integrations’.
- Select ‘Create webhooks’ from the left-hand menu.
- You can leave the Discord logo or you can attach your image. In the ‘Name’ field type in your server name.
- Click on ‘Copy Webhook URL’.
- Head over to discohook.org and click on the ‘Clear All’ button.
- In the ‘Webhook URL field’ paste the URL you copied from before.
- Select ‘Add Embed’. Click on ‘Embed 1’ to expand the drop-down menu, and click on ‘Body’.
- In the title section, enter your first rule and add a description in the ‘Description box’. You can even add a clickable link in the URL section and select a color from the color section.
- Click ‘Embed’.
- Repeat the steps with all your rules and click the ‘Send’ button at the top of the website.
You will see all the rules in your rules channel.
