Enable bot to change user status.

[repiatx]

Hello folks.

I just wanted a develop bot which can change user status. And i wanted this feature so badly. I even mailed and got declined. :) I kinda understand discord for this but. It is essential for discord to be get into also Business sector.

let me explaein "What this feature holds";

Changin user status when he/she gets in meeting in every platform ( bot will check and set status )
Changin user status when he/she writing code
Changin user status when he/she writes to off channel ( like 20m off )
and many more

Please consider this option Discord!

Best regards.

Isn't this technically already possible using Rich Presence/RPC/SDK options that Discord has? 🤔
Just, not via Bot accounts but instead using local external software on the User's own device.

This is possible but not very documented. Also without Discords permissions you can only use the app on the account that registered the app.

this is not true, only certainl rpc scopes require whitelist.
Anyone can set rich presence and there are numerous libraries providing this for you.

If im correct i need to install another tool in user computer for that ? If this is the case then it would be problem. Because most of the users doesnt want to install another tool. Instead of this why discord just get perimssion and let the bot handle that?

There is another solution like getting users token but it's not recommended since it's illegal. That is why im requesting this feature.

@Lachee You're right, I forgot that not all scopes require whitelist. Sorry.

you are scared if discord can be used by business then you guys need to pay ? Stop downvoting this.

In discord a user controls their own status. it is not really designed to be a work platform, I wouldn't want some bot to update my presence especially not my global status.

what you need is something more like RPC. You can do this via RPC from the meeting app.

You are right Discord is not work platform. But you are missing something. Bot cannot change your presence unless you give it permission. If you dont gave it permission then it can not change your status.
