Why doesn't my discord bot kick command work?

I have been trying to make my bot kick a member when I type the command ".kick @user" in Discord, I have referred to many YouTube videos, they have all pointed to the same code, however it doesn't work for me. So, how do I kick a member?

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = ".")    # To kick user  @client.command()  @commands.has_permissions(kick_members = True)  async def kick(ctx, member : discord.Member = None, *, reason = None):    await member.kick(reason = reason)
