Note: You can only add a bot account to a server that you have Manage Server permissions on.
The link to add your bot account to a server is provided in the console window when you run the bot and it is not on any servers.
To get this link manually, go to the Discord developers page and click on your application. At the top, you will find the bot account's Client ID.
https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?&client_id=<CLIENT ID>&scope=bot&permissions=0
Replace <CLIENT ID> in the link above with the Client ID from your application page, and then go to the URL on a browser. There, you'll be able to add it to servers.
To get IDs, turn on Developer Mode in the Discord client (User Settings -> Appearance) and then right-click your name/icon anywhere in the client and select Copy ID.
For role IDs, you instead need to start the bot and use the command !listids. Role IDs aren't obtainable using Developer Mode.
The bot uses youtube-dl. View list of supported sites.

The bot is licensed under the MIT License.
