The Activity in a DM, without Green-bot, or with a muted bot

The Activity is the Green-bot player inside Discord. It works in a server, with Green-bot in it. Here are the three cases where it looks different.

Opened in a DM or a group DM

The Activity needs a server. In a direct message or a group chat, it has no server to play music in, so it stops at the Authorizing step. Under Technical details, you can read "No server in this Activity context".

1. Close the Activity.
2. Join a voice channel of a server.
3. Click Activities (the rocket button) and pick Green-bot.

See The Activity won't open for the full steps.

Opened in a server without Green-bot

If Green-bot is not in the server, the Activity does not play music. What you see depends on your permissions.

1. If you can manage the server, the screen says "Add Green-bot to this server". Press Add Green-bot, accept in Discord, then come back to the Activity.
2. If you cannot manage the server, the screen says "Green-bot isn't in this server yet". Press Copy invite link and send the link to a server admin.

See Add Green-bot to your server for the steps.

Green-bot is server-muted

The player plays, but nobody hears the bot. This is not the Activity: Green-bot is muted in the voice channel.

1. Right-click Green-bot in the voice channel.
2. Untick Server Mute. If you cannot, ask a server admin.
3. Raise User Volume if you still hear little. It only changes what you hear.
