user presence change through api*

[AngeloCore]

Allows us to change the user's presence through an authentication scope (and api*) if the user has enabled our app, just like the Spotify connection, you don't need to download any app, works on mobile, desktop and web.

Currently we can only change a user's presence if the user downloads our desktop app or has a Samsung phone, which is not as good as presence scope and api*.

* = you could user api/ws/rpc, idk?

this already exists, using the private activities.write scope

[AngeloCore]

dang, could you give me some docs on how to change the user's presence using that scope?

[advaith1]

the scope is private and there are no docs for it afaik

Just to note, the Spotify connection doesn't use an API or private scope for changing your presence. Your Discord clients connects to Spotify's gateway with your Spotify access token and then changes your presence to the music you're listening to when it receives the event through Spotify's gateway.

The Samsung Game Launcher uses the API to update presences
