FAQ
What are Discord gateway intents?+
Intents are a bitfield you send when identifying to the gateway. Each bit subscribes your bot to a family of events (messages, members, voice, and so on). Without an intent, those events never arrive.
Which Discord intents are privileged?+
GUILD_MEMBERS (1 << 1), GUILD_PRESENCES (1 << 8), and MESSAGE_CONTENT (1 << 15). You must enable them under Developer Portal → Bot → Privileged Gateway Intents. Verified apps may need Discord’s approval.
Do slash-command-only bots need intents?+
Interaction-only bots that only receive HTTP interactions (no gateway) do not need gateway intents. Full gateway bots that read messages or welcome members do. Kitcord’s Interaction Only mode skips the gateway entirely.
How do I set intents in discord.py?+
intents = discord.Intents.none() then set flags such as intents.message_content = True. Or pass value=BITFIELD. The calculator copies a ready snippet.
