Channel Stats

Auto-updating channel names showing live stats — member count, bots, roles, channels, boosts, even FiveM player count.

What you can show

PlaceholderRenders
{members}Total member count
{humans}Human members (non-bot)
{bots}Bot count
{roles}Role count
{channels}Channel count
{boosts}Number of nitro boosts
{boost_tier}Server boost tier (0, 1, 2, 3)
{fivem_players}Live FiveM player count (requires FiveM Integration)
{fivem_max}FiveM server max slots

Setup

  1. Create a channel in Discord (any type — text, voice, category). Voice channels are most common because they're highly visible.
  2. Set the channel permissions so @everyone can't connect / send. They're for display only.
  3. On the Channel Stats dashboard, click Add, pick the channel, set the name template (e.g. 👥 Members: {members}).
  4. Save.

The channel name updates within ~6 minutes (Discord rate-limits channel renames at 2 per 10 minutes per channel).

Tips

  • Use voice channels. They're highly visible in the channel list and members can't accidentally type in them.
  • Lead with an emoji so the channel is recognisable at a glance.
  • Keep the template short. Discord channel names cap at 100 chars but anything over ~30 looks ugly in narrow sidebars.
  • {humans} is more honest than {members} — most servers don't want their bot count inflating the member figure.

Limits

  • 10 stat channels per guild
  • 6-minute minimum refresh interval (Discord-imposed)
  • 100-char max channel name

Permissions

  • community.view — see settings
  • community.edit — add / edit / delete stat channels

Behaviour

  • Stat channels refresh in the background; expect updates roughly every 6 minutes.
  • If Discord rate-limits a rename, Phantom quietly retries — no error shown to members.

Phantom is a product of Hydra Labs. The bot is run as a managed service; you do not need to host it yourself.
