 1. Create a Discord Application [here](https://discordapp.com/developers/applications).
 2. Retrieve Client ID.
 3. Create a bot from the Bot tab and retrieve the Bot token.
-4. From the Bot tab, enable all checkboxes related to Privileged Gateway Intents (you can skip this step if you're not using `matrix_appservice_discord_auth_usePrivilegedIntents: true` below)

-7. Retrieve Discord invite link from the `{{ matrix_appservice_discord_config_path }}/invite_link` file on the server (this defaults to `/matrix/appservice-discord/config/invite_link`). You need to peek at the file on the server via SSH, etc., because it's not available via HTTP(S).
-8. Invite the Bot to Discord servers you wish to bridge. Administrator permission is recommended.
-9. Room addresses follow this syntax: `#_discord_guildid_channelid`. You can easily find the guild and channel ids by logging into Discord in a browser and opening the desired channel. The URL will have this format: `discordapp.com/channels/guild_id/channel_id`. Once you have figured out the appropriate room addrss, you can join by doing `/join #_discord_guildid_channelid` in your Matrix client.
