WHAT YOU NEED

  • The Desktop version of Discord. (This will not work on their terrible browser version.)
  • BetterDiscord (I will show you how to install it.)
  • A brain.

DISCLAIMER
While it is true BetterDiscord is against the Discord terms of service, no one has been banned for using it properly. In this tutorial, I will only show off official BetterDiscord plugins (And one non-bannable unoffical one by Strencher, a trusted plugin dev.). Here is a quote from the devs: https://bd.zerebos.com/#tos

Anyways, let's get on with the tutorial.

Installing BetterDiscord

  1. Go to https://github.com/BetterDiscord/Installer/releases/tag/v1.0.0-hotfix and install the one that suits your operating system. I am using Windows, so I will select Windows. This is a hotfix version due to the normal installer breaking.

    1.1. Windows might say the app is dangerous, but it isn't lol you can see the source code for yourself. Just follow these instructions:

  2. Click the text that says "I accept the license agreement.". The checkbox does not work.
  3. Select "Install BetterDiscord"
  4. Select the Discord version you want. I recommend using stable since it gets the least updates, making it more, well, stable. What version of Discord you use will not change anything in the tutorial.
  5. Install BetterDiscord. If you get a prompt like this then BetterDIscord has been installed successfully.

    We are done downloading BetterDiscord. Now to get the perks that you get from Nitro for free. Most of the things here rely on BD.

  1. Download a plugin (obviously)
  2. Open your plugin folder with the button in the plugins tab in settings.
  3. Move the downloaded plugin into the folder.
  4. Click the switch to enable the plugin
