Matchmaking & Lobbies
/host
Create a matchmaking lobby for other players to join.
Who can run it
Server administrators only, until you say otherwise.
Discord hides this command from everyone else, so members will not see it in the command
picker at all. To open it up, go to Server Settings →
Integrations → Team Up and add a role or member override for /host.
Command permission overrides are desktop-only — they cannot be configured from the
Discord mobile app.
