How to Add a Discord Link to Your FiveM Loading Screen

Your Discord server is the heart of your GTA RP community. It's where players read announcements, apply for whitelists, and report bugs. If you aren't funnelling players to your Discord from the moment they connect, you are losing out on massive community growth. Here is how to add a Discord link to your FiveM loading screen.

Method 1: The Visual Builder (Recommended)

The easiest and most professional way to add social links is using the ViceForge Loading Screen Builder.

• Open the builder and navigate to the Social Links or Content tab.
• Paste your Discord Invite URL (e.g., discord.gg/yourserver) into the Discord field.
• The builder automatically generates a high-quality vector icon and sets up the click events for you.

Method 2: Manual HTML Editing

If you downloaded a raw HTML template, you will need to add an anchor (<a>) tag to your index.html file.

<!-- Add this inside your main content container -->
<div class="social-links">
    <a href="https://discord.gg/yourserver" target="_blank" class="discord-btn">
        Join our Discord
    </a>
</div>

Important: Enabling the Cursor

A common mistake developers make is adding the HTML link, but players complain they can't click it. This is because FiveM hides the mouse cursor by default during loading.

To fix this, you must open your fxmanifest.lua file and ensure this line is present:

loadscreen_cursor 'yes'

Why Use a Vanity URL?

Even if you make the link clickable, some players will manually type the link into their browser on a second monitor or on their phone.
