**Using intents in discord.py**

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default, discord.py has all intents enabled, except for the `Members` and `Presences` intents, which are needed for events such as `on_member` and to get members' statuses.
Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default discord.py has all intents enabled except for `Members`, `Message Content`, and `Presences`. These are needed for features such as `on_member` events, to get access to message content, and to get members' statuses.

To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the [Discord developer portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications), then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the `Privileged Gateway Intents` section, then enable the intents that you need.
