How to Grant Temporary Access to Your Discord Server

Sometimes when playing online pickup games like PUBG, you may want to ask your team members to join your server so you can communicate with them about the gameplay stuff. However, the question is, how do you invite players to your Discord server temporarily? For this purpose, Discord provides a free trial membership. This is an important function to use in Discord when gaming with strangers as it allows visitors to join your server for a specific time or gameplay session, but it prevents them from staying thereafter.

This tutorial will explain the process to allow temporary access to your Discord server.
