Discord App Directory five-asset carousel with best proof first
Build the App Directory carousel like a proof sequence: lead with the strongest image or video, because Discord allows only five assets and shows them in an auto-rotating top-of-page carousel.
Why this can grow a startup
Visuals on Discord's app profile are not decorative. They are the first product proof a server owner sees above the fold. Discord's profile-page guidance says teams can add up to five assets total and recommends putting the best asset first, with video first when relevant. That constraint rewards a tighter story. Instead of dumping random screenshots, teams should show the moment the app becomes useful inside Discord so the install decision gets easier before the user reads the long description.
Company example
Discord's App Directory profile-page guide says the top carousel supports up to five images or videos, rotates automatically, and recommends putting the best asset first or leading with video if you have one.
