How to fix if the Discord Rhythm Bot is not working?.

But it's not something that just anyone can use at this point. At the end of 2021, Discord revealed that it's toying with new options for partying up and playing games together on a server, and that feature appears to include a YouTube Together watch party bot. As per the Verge, it's possible that YouTube is making these moves because it may have a Discord-connected offering of its own in the works. So the most common use for something like Rhythm is friends streaming music together while they game. Discord servers, which are what each privately curated social space on the platform is called, can be monetized, but most of them aren't. Though in truth, it's not clear exactly what Rhythm (or Groovy, or any other music bot) does that's such a problem.

But it also leaves the creators of music bots and other quality-of-life features exposed to potential repercussions themselves. That means Discord has an easier time dodging any responsibility for how people use the platform. The bot isn't officially endorsed or supported by Discord the platform is just flexible enough to allow the thing to exist.

Piping music into voice chat is as simple as pointing the bot to a list of links or even just one link to a pre-made YouTube playlist. Plugins like Rhythm integrate with the platform seamlessly. It's just the nature of how Discord works. But the Rhythm creator also sees the death of their bot, along with Groovy, as sort of canaries in the coal mine for other cease and desist requests aimed at music bot creators. Yoav hinted that work is underway on something else 'in the music space' that will tie to Discord in some way, but the specifics beyond that aren't clear at this point.
