BAY AREA KEI DISCORD SERVER

The Bay Area Kei Discord server is the main hub of activity for attendees to socialize before the event and between panels. Join to chat with other J-fashion enthusiasts about the event, your coordinates, panels and activities, and tea party snacks! We will also be hosting all tea parties on Discord using the video chat function. 

What is Discord? Discord is a group chatting platform that allows you to connect with the community. To use it, you must sign up for an account, and you can use it in-browser or choose to download it on your phone or computer. For our virtual tea parties, we recommend using the downloaded client on your computer. For more information on Discord, please see their video explanation here.

DISCORD TECH FAQ

DISCORD USER SETTINGS 

How do I privately message an admin?

Click on your Room Mod's name, or another admin, and start typing your message. Hit enter to send. (If you can't see a user list, click on the Member List icon in the top right of the window to open it up.)

 

How do I change my nickname?

​

VOICE SETTINGS

Please use headphones or earbuds if possible!

See Voice and Video interface example here

​

How to open up voice settings 

Click on the gear symbol in the lower left hand corner (near the message box), and select "Voice and Video" under app settings.

 

Setting up Push to Talk

Open up your voice settings, and under input mode select Push to Talk. Here you can choose a PTT button to use whenever you would like to speak.

 

Changing mic sensitivity

If you do not want to use push to talk, please make sure your mic sensitivity is too low! This can pick up breathing or other distracting background noise. Slide the input sensitivity bar to increase or decrease the sensitivity. The green area is what we can hear. The orange is muted. You can use "Let's Check" for a playback of your mic input to test your sensitivity (If you can hear yourself breathing, adjust your microphone or change the sensitivity.)

 

I can't hear anything.

You can select or change your input and output device in the drop down boxes directly under Voice Settings. If you still can't hear anything, you may need to change your computer settings and allow Discord to access your headset/mic.

​

VIDEO SETTINGS

Note: The Discord client works better than the web app for some users. If you are having issues, you can try downloading the desktop client.
