Adding Discord Bot Status with Python
We all have seen a custom status on a discord bot like 'playing a game' or 'watching a movie', that is known as 'Rich Presence'. We have to enter some lines of code to add a custom rich presence in a Discord Bot. This Post will help you to add a custom rich presence in your discord bot.
To add this, import discord and commands. The client
object for the bot has a method change_presence
. This is used to change the status of your bot!
• For Playing: Use discord.game() for adding playing status. Add the name of the game to the name argument
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
client = discord.Client()
@client.event
async def on_ready():
await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.Online, activity=discord.game('a video game'))
print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))
• For Streaming: Use discord.Streaming() for adding streaming status with a url argument
Note: Discord only supports streaming links for YouTube and Twitch. The url argument must be formatted as an actual URL.
http://www.twitch.tv
will work whilewww.twitch.tv
will not. It won’t change the bot status at all.
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
client = discord.Client
@client.event
async def on_ready():
await client.change_presence(activity=discord.Streaming(name='a movie', url='https://www.twitch.tv/your_channel_here'))
print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))
• For Watching: Use discord.Activity()
with the type argument set to discord.ActivityType.watching
for the watching status.
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
client = discord.Client
@client.event
async def on_ready():
await client.change_presence(activity=discord. Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name='A Movie'))
print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))
• For Listening: Use discord.Activity()
with the type argument set to discord.ActivityType.listening
for the listening status.
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
client = discord.Client
@client.event
async def on_ready():
await client.change_presence(activity=discord. Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.listening, name='To Music'))
print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
# Change below's prefix with your prefix
client = commands.Bot(command.prefix = 'ENTER YOUR PREFIX')
@client.event
async def on_ready():
await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.Online, activity=discord.game('a video game'))
# You can change the current status above
client.run('Your Bot Token')
