## Create an Account

Esports Hub uses Discord for authentication. There is no separate sign-up form. Your Discord account is your Esports Hub account.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Join the Discord server">
    You must be a member of the Esports Hub Discord server before you can access the web portal. If you haven't joined yet, use the invite link shared on the site or from a friend.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Visit esportshub.io">
    Navigate to the site. You will be redirected to the login page automatically if you are not signed in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize with Discord">
    Click the sign-in button to authenticate through Discord. You will be asked to authorize the Esports Hub application to access your basic Discord profile.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  Your Discord display name, avatar, and server membership are used to personalize your Esports Hub experience. No sensitive Discord data is stored.
</Info>

## Discord Login

When you visit the site, you will be redirected to a Discord authorization screen. This is the standard OAuth2 flow where Esports Hub requests permission to read your profile and verify your server membership.

Once authorized, you are signed in automatically on future visits. Sessions persist across browser sessions so you rarely need to re-authenticate.

<Warning>
  If you leave the Esports Hub Discord server, your web portal access will be revoked until you rejoin.
</Warning>

## First Steps

After signing in, you land on the AI Chat page. Here are a few things to try first:

* **Ask the AI assistant** to get help with Discord roles, team management, or platform questions.
* **Visit the Rewards page** to check out the daily tasks and start earning points.
* **Explore Discord Roles** to create custom roles for your Discord profile with unique colors and icons.
* **Check your settings** to customize your theme, font, and preferences.

## Navigating the App

The sidebar on the left is your main navigation. It contains two sections:

* **Tools** contains links to all platform features including Discord Roles, Resume Builder, Discord Bots, Mentoring, Store, Contracts, Websites, and Rewards.
* **Chats** shows your AI conversation history. Click any past conversation to continue it.

On desktop, the sidebar can be collapsed to a narrow icon strip for more screen space. On mobile, tap the menu icon in the top bar to open the sidebar.

<Tip>
  Press **Ctrl+K** (or **Cmd+K** on Mac) to quickly search your chat conversations.
