How to Make Channels Disappear

Hide channels from members until they claim the right role.

How it works

By default, roles with "View Channel" globally will see all channels. You create a special role, strip "View Channel" from it in the category, and only give it back to members who have that role. The channel then "disappears" for everyone else.

Step by step

1. 1

   Invite SlashBot to your server

2. 2

   Create a new role

   Give it no permissions and a name that fits the category (e.g. 'Gaming Access').
3. 3

   Open the category settings

   Go to the settings of the category you want to hide.
4. 4

   Remove View Channel from all global roles

   For each role that globally has View Channel, add a permission overwrite and deny View Channel in this category.
5. 5

   Add View Channel for your new role

   Add a permission overwrite for your new role that explicitly allows View Channel.
6. 6

   Set up a ButtonRole or DropdownRole

   Use SlashBot to let members self-assign the role and gain access.
