How to Create and Set Up a Stage Channel in Discord

Step-by-step guide to setting up a Stage Channel in Discord.

Scalability: Stage Channels can accommodate larger audiences, making them ideal for discussions that require community engagement.

Only users with administrative capabilities or specific channel management permissions can create and configure Stage Channels.

Heres how to do so.

Create Speaker Roles: Establish a role for speakers who will lead the discussions.

This role should have permission to speak in the Stage Channel while the audience listens.

Designate specific times for the speakers to address these questions.

Polls and Reactions: Utilize Discords polling feature or ask users to react to encourage interaction.

This can provide valuable feedback and keep users engaged.

Event Notifications: Use Discords event feature to promote upcoming discussions well in advance.

Here are some best practices to consider.

Preparing Speakers

Ensure your speakers are well-prepared.

Designate moderators who are responsible for keeping the discussion flowing and managing audience interactions.

They can collect questions in the text chat and facilitate the transition between topics.

This will allow those who missed it to catch up and provide a valuable resource for future reference.

Gather feedback to improve future events.

Ask specific questions about the setup, speaker performance, and overall experience.

Feedback Channels: Set up a dedicated channel where users can provide their thoughts and suggestions for future events.
