Discord in Bukit Vista applies as a virtual office since we are a remote first company. This communication tools will be very useful for quick discussions that are more efficient than other written communication tools. It allows faster decision making (for quick discussions), feeling the online presence of other teammates. Here’s a Beginner’s Guide to Discord for more details that are not mentioned below.
Channel Types
Two kinds of Channel types
How to differentiate channels:
- Text Channel (TC) uses the “#”
- Voice Channel (VC) uses the “🔈”
Rooms/Categories
We have several voice and text channels divided based on the needs of each respective teams and discussion topics.
Navigating Discord
- You may feel free to add another voice channel if needed (when the main VCs in your team rooms are full), then you can delete it again once you’re done using it.
- If you have any trouble creating one, please reach the Discord admins
- You can move the text & voice channels, and members to everywhere by dragging them to the desired area where you need them to be.
Disclaimer: Please don’t drag the other members for fun. it’s okay to drag them without their consent, but please make sure that they are online and available at that time.
Setting Status
Please set status according to your current availability.
- Online – your online and available
- Idle – same with Slack’s “Away”
- Do not Disturb – when you’re free but is unavailable
- Invisible – i wouldn’t recommend to use this one during working hours, but feel free to be invisible after working hours
- Set a custom status – For lunch, day off but still online, outside, etc
