GitHub I'm going to put the link in the

description below but pretty much all

you have to do is scroll down all the

way over here where it says step-by-step

guide we want to click on this link so

it's now trying to get access to your

Discord and you just have to select

which server you want to put it on so

once you authorize access for the bot to

your Discord you'll see it pop up on the

right here you can see inside face swap

bot alright so now we have all of our

tools I'm going to show you guys now a

step-by-step guide of what you have to

do and you'll be able to follow this for

yourself so I do need to test subject so

I'm actually going to use Matt wolf he's

the guy that actually taught me how to

do this I'll put a link in the

description below for his video as well

if you want to check out his channel so

the first thing you're going to need is

a photo of yourself you want to make

sure you find something that's high

quality you want to make sure that your

face is not skewed or covered don't have

glasses on just a very clear think of a

passport photo now I've just gone

through to Matt Wolf's LinkedIn page

he's got a photo there and it's just as

easy as right clicking saving the image

so we have our photo the first thing we

want to do is we want to save the face

onto the actual bottom I'm going to show

you guys how to do that so you want to

go down to where it says save ID and

then you press enter now it's giving you

guys the option to drag and drop or

click and upload a file so I'm going to

go and I'm going to grab that photo of

Matt wolf

there we go make sure we uh name the

actual photo as well just say I'll just

call it Matt alright so now we have

actually given the bot the photo of

ourselves and we're going to come back

to that and I'll explain where that

comes into play so for the next step

what I want you guys to do is actually

upload the same photo

just directly onto Discord and there's a

reason for this all right so the photo

is uploaded let's click onto it and we

go open in browser so that's going to

take us here what you want to do is we

want to grab this link okay so now you

have the link we want to go imagine okay

and we want to paste the link there okay

now don't click enter yet so what you

want to add next to it is banking

Financial professional employee sitting

in a modern corporate head office

wearing a nice suit now I'm just using

that as an example you may not be a

banking Financial professional you could

be a solicitor obviously you just have

to enter that information and you'll be

able to get a specific prompt tailored

to your actual profession alright so

let's hit enter and let's see the result

that we get alright so it's now giving

me four different examples of a Banking

and Financial professional obviously

sitting in a modern office and you can

see here it's used Matt Wolf's photo to

try to find someone that looks very

similar to him I'm gonna go with this

third one okay so let's UPS scale that

okay now we're not done yet the reason

why I like this one is that it was able

to mimic matte Wolf's hair his beard

kind of his nose and facial features as

well now let's be honest that's not his

face this is the part where the face

swap bot is going to come into play all

right so you want to go over here and

you want to click these three dots and

you want to click apps and you want to

click in swapper alright so what it's

done it's gone off the original image

it's done a face swap based on the image

that we provided before not only does it

have matte Wolf's hair his beard you

know the size of his head it's also

added his facial features as well so

that was the first example let's now do

Mount wolf maybe as a lawyer here's the

prompt make sure you always grab the URL

a professional lawyer sitting in a

courtroom wearing a nice expensive suit

I'm gonna go with the second one here

let's upscale that and remember we just

have to go over here to the right click

apps let's click in swapper let's see

how well it does and there you have it

now we have Matt Wolf a professional

lawyer sitting in a courthouse so those

are two examples that you guys can use

for your own professional photos now

depending on what profession you

actually are will determine what prompt

you're going to enter whether that be a

doctor whether that be a customer

service rep whether that be I don't know

a firefighter whatever it is you're

gonna enter the information into mid

Journey first then you're going to be

using the bot to swap the face now

before I go I just thought I'd show you

guys some of the ones of me that I've

just worked on here's one here I'm

sitting in like a chair doesn't look too

bad I like the suit here's another one

of me like okay like the why so serious

but like it's just funny some of the

results here's another one of me which
