Macro Deck Discord Plugin

A plugin for Macro Deck 2 to interact with a local Discord client.

NOTE: This plugin uses the official RPC API from Discord, however it is currently in "private beta". Expect things to break at some point in the future if they modify the API after coming out of beta, whenever that may be.

If you like my work and want to support/encourage me in making more plugins, you certainly can do so on Ko-Fi.

Configuration

Visual learner? Here is my video tutorial for setting up this plugin in Macro Deck 2
Macro Deck 2 Discord Plugin | Installation & Configuration

Discord Application

NOTE: Due to the nature of OAuth2.0 requiring a client secret to stay, well secret, it is impossible for Macro Deck contributors to set up a single application as all of the source is shared which would include the secret. This means you will need to create your own application to use with this plugin. Don't worry, it's not hard to do.

To create your own Discord application:

1. Go to Discord Developer Portal
2. Click the "New Application" button in the top right corner
3. Name the application (You can just use "Macro Deck Plugin" or anything really, it's yours)
4. On the OAuth2 page, add a Redirect of "https://127.0.0.1"
   • Note the Client Id and the Client Secret on this page
   • You will enter these in the Macro Deck plugin configuration screen shortly
   • The Public Key IS NOT the same as the Client Secret. Make sure you copy the right one.
5. BE SURE TO CLICK SAVE!
   • It is very easy to miss the green button at the bottom of the screen

Macro Deck 2

1. Open Macro Deck 2 application on your computer
2. Switch to the plugin manager view and locate the discord plugin (install if necessary)
3. Click the "Configure" button
4. Enter the Client Id and Client Secret noted before
   • Debug Field a. Only check this if requested by Macro Deck Discord mod (or if you are curious) b. Could have a performance impact due to attempted sensitive information scrubbing i. IT IS STILL YOUR RESPONSIBLITY to ensure sensitive data is removed or redacted before sending log files
5. If your Discord application hasn't already popped up, switch to it
6. It should be asking if your Discord Application can connect and do certain things on your client. Here you should allow it to.
   • If it doesn't pop up, make sure you copied the correct Client Id and Client Secret. Clear out the configuration and re-enter them.

After that, you should be able to watch the discord_* variables change when you change your mute/deafen state while in a voice channel

Addendum

Not a Standalone App

This is a plugin for Macro Deck 2, it does NOT function as a standalone app
