# Discord

This scrobbler uses Now Playing functionality to set your Discord Rich Presence to the music you are currently monitoring with multi-scrobbler.

There are two types of Discord integrations to choose from:

## App​

The App integration uses an existing Discord application on a desktop computer to set Rich Presence.

- Uses "permitted" access to Discord, no TOS issues
- More restricted customization compared to Headless
- Only active when your existing Discord application is open
- For most scenarios it requires additional, OS-specific steps to setup correctly
  - May require an additional program on your machine to relay the Discord connection
  - This is potentially insecure, or less secure, then Headless
  - Can use discord in a container as an easy alternative
    - This is a Headless-like experience

## Headless​

The Headless integration uses Discord cloud Gateway/API, directly, to set Rich Presence.

- Does not require an existing Discord application (uses Discord cloud API)
- Using this Violates Discord TOS because it requires a user token
- More customization than App integration
- Active if any Discord application is online
