Why Chip Bot Shows “Chip Bot No Sources Found” ?
As chip Bot has removed YouTube from their supported platforms therefore you might sometime found error of no source of music found for a particular query. It is also due to reason that YouTube used to be one of the major source of music for the chip bot but once the YouTube started giving cease and desist letter to popular music bot, chip bot quickly removed the support of Youtube platform. Therefore, sometimes you might face this error due as chip bot is not able to find a suitable source for the same query from its other supported platform. You can instead paste the URL of the music to listen it from its supported platforms.
What to do if Chip Bot isn’t Working | Chip Bot Offline?
Sometimes the Chip Bot might have issues, such as it may not respond and it may be offline. This can be due to a complete discord bot server being overused or down for maintenance or upgrade purposes, if you face the issue check on the Chip bot support community server they keep a constant update about the server.
Also, make sure that you have provided sufficient permissions to the Chip Bot, it can be done in the setting tab.
If the Chip Bot does not respond after applying the above steps, then make sure you did not change the Chip Bot default prefix.
