Docs Command Reference
Matchmaking & Lobbies
/host
Create a matchmaking lobby for other players to join.
Who can run it
Members with Manage Server (administrators hold it
too), until you say otherwise. Discord hides this command from everyone else, so members
will not see it in the command picker at all — a moderator who cannot find it is usually
missing Manage Server, not Administrator. 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.
