## 4. Voice & Video Calls ## 4. Bridging Discord Servers to Matrix
Want to bridge your Discord server to Matrix to enable real-time message syncing both to and from Matrix? You're in luck! A Discord bridge has already been established for The Nest. Here are a few things to note:
> [!WARNING] **Account Puppeting**
> **YOU CANNOT BRDIGE DMs.** It is against ToS to automate (puppet) your own account. Breaking this rule can and has lead to **bans** of both the puppetted account **and everyone in the DM.** The Nest will not support double-puppeting.
>
> If you wish to bridge a group chat, convert it to a Server first.
>
> *We hate this. We do not like Discord.*
1. In order to establish a bridge, you must have the **"Manage server"** role in the server in question.
2. You must be okay with accepting a bot with **adminitrative priviliges** into your server.
- This is 100% okay by ToS. There are other ways to bridge that are not. The bot is safe.
3. It will backfill everything that you have visibility into, including media. If you are uncomfortable with this, let us know before we bridge.
- Note: role-restricted channels will need their permissions updated post-import.
4. It may not be immediately obvious is a message is from Matrix or Discord.
5. Due to limitations in some more modern matrix protocols, bridged rooms are **not encrypted**. You may enable encryption afterward, but it will stop the bridge from syncing.
Okay with the above? Reach out to an admin to get started!
> [!TIP] **Going Cold Turkey**
> Want to just do a one-time import and ditch Discord altogether? We support it! Let us know when you reach out!
