Moving a community between platforms is a pain. We built the Discord Import tool to make it as smooth as possible.
What gets imported
The import tool brings over your server structure:
- Channels and categories with their names and ordering
- Roles with color and hierarchy (permissions are mapped to the closest GameVox equivalent)
- Custom emoji (static and animated)
- Soundboard sounds with names, volumes, and emoji associations
- Server rules, banner, icon, description, and scheduled events
What doesn’t transfer
Some things can’t cross the platform boundary:
- Message history — Discord’s API no longer permits exporting message contents through the bot integration, so channels start empty on the GameVox side
- Members — members will need to create GameVox accounts and rejoin from your new invite link
- Bot configurations (GameVox has its own bot system coming soon)
- Nitro-specific features (stickers, custom profiles)
- Voice channel state (obviously)
How to run the import
- When creating a new server, choose “Import from Discord”
- Authorize the import tool with your Discord account
- Select which server to clone
- Review the preview (channels, roles, emoji count, soundboard count)
- Confirm and watch the progress bar as the server builds
The process runs in the background. Your GameVox server stays usable while it imports. Larger servers with hundreds of emoji or soundboard clips may take longer.
After the import
Share the new GameVox invite link with your community. We recommend running both platforms in parallel for a transition period so nobody gets left behind.
