Unable to Access Microsoft Student Community Channels After Joining Discord

Open #ambassadors-faq in the Microsoft Student Developer Community Discord, then use #registration-help to request a review of your channel access; if neither channel is visible, email [Email] so the program team can verify your onboarding, roles, and server permissions.^1^

What to do

1. In Discord, search the server’s channel list for:
   • #ambassadors-faq — onboarding and next-step information.
   • #registration-help — assistance with registration or missing access.
2. If #registration-help is available, report that:
   • Your GitHub account is connected.
   • Discord displays the Student Ambassadors Program and General Student Offers roles.
   • The expected channels remain unavailable.
   • Include the names of the missing channels, if known.
3. If #registration-help is also hidden, email [Email] and ask the Student Ambassadors program team to check your Discord onboarding and role-based channel permissions. Include:
   • Your Discord username.
   • The email address used for program registration.
   • The roles currently shown on your Discord profile.
   • A screenshot of the server channel list, with personal information removed.

Only the program team or Discord server administrators can inspect and correct server-side role and channel assignments. Receiving the two roles does not, by itself, establish which private channels your account should be able to see.

If you received a separate Ambassador invitation

General registration provides access to the student Discord community, while additional Ambassador benefits follow an invitation and completed onboarding.^2^ If Microsoft sent you an official program invitation:

1. Open the invitation email.
2. Accept it while signed in with the same account used during registration.
3. Complete the onboarding steps in that message.

This invitation step is relevant only if you received one; it is not a documented repair for hidden Discord channels. If no invitation was received, continue through #registration-help or [Email] rather than creating another registration.

Do not post your email address, screenshots containing account details, or other personal information publicly on Microsoft Q&A.
