FiveMesh Portal gives your community a public home and a place for players to upload images and videos. Players sign in with Discord, manage their own upload history and copy public CDN links to use in-game. You configure Portal in the FiveMesh dashboard. Players use the public Portal address you share with them.

​
Prerequisites

  • A registered server selected in the dashboard.
  • An active plan or trial within the resource owner’s server allowance.
  • Portal access enabled for the resource owner’s account.
  • Permission to manage Portal in your workspace.
  • A Discord account that can add FiveMesh to your community’s Discord server.
  • An active, configured FiveMesh CDN to enable player uploads.
Portal is enabled per customer account. If Portal is missing from the sidebar, check your selected server and workspace, then contact support about access. Organization members also need access to the owner’s server and Portal service.
You can complete Portal setup before setting up CDN. The community page remains available, but player uploads need an active CDN.

Open Portal > Settings to edit the community name, description and address, or set the logo and banner image URLs. Use HTTPS image URLs that players can open publicly, then save your changes.
