By default, discord.py has all intents enabled, except for the `Members` and `Presences` intents, which are needed for events such as `on_member` and to get members' statuses. + +To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the [Discord developer portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications), then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the `Privileged Gateway Intents` section, then enable the intents that you need. + +Next, in your bot you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the `intents` keyword argument, like this: + +```py +from discord import Intents +from discord.ext import commands + +intents = Intents.default() +intents.members = True + +bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents) +``` + +For more info about using intents, see the [discord.py docs on intents](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intents.html), and for general information about them, see the [Discord developer documentation on intents](https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway#gateway-intents). |
