Game Tracking
Understand how Game Intel monitors gaming activity in your Discord server.
How Activity Tracking Works
Game Intel passively monitors member presence and activity through Discord's rich presence feature. When a member plays a game with Discord integration, SYNTHET automatically records the activity.
Session Management
A gaming session is tracked from when a member starts playing until they stop, including offline periods up to 5 minutes.
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Session ID | Unique identifier for each gaming session |
| Start Time | When the game was launched |
| End Time | When the game was closed or paused |
| Duration | Total playtime in minutes |
| Co-players | Other server members playing the same game |

Common Issues
Game not showing up
The game may not support Discord rich presence. Try launching the game through Discord or enabling in-game overlay.
Session too short
Sessions shorter than the configured minimum duration won't be recorded. Adjust settings if needed.
Wrong game name
Some games report different names than their official title. You can create aliases in settings.
