Here are twelve Discord tips and tricks you probably didn't know about.
(Have a drink every time I say account settings)
You can actually mention the voice channels. To do this, you must have enabled developer mode.
To enable it, go to your account settings, scroll down until you see Advanced and enable developer mode, now you can copy IDs.
Right click on the voice channel you want to mention and copy its ID, then type the less than (<) key, hashtag / hashtag / number key (whatever the hell you call it) (# ), paste your ID, greater than the key (>)
If someone were to click on it, they will automatically join this voice channel.
There is actually a way to change your Discord tag without having Nitro.
Go to your account settings, change your username, and replace your username with your current tag.
Discord will randomize your tag number because Discord does not allow users to have the same tag as their username.
This feature is somewhat new. If you were to go into your account settings (I've probably said it like three times in a row now),
accessibility, and move that bar around a bit, I'd say eighty percent, you can actually bring back the old one. Blurple.
This feature is actually used for color saturation, so please note that this will affect other things on Discord as well, such as link names, statuses, the yellow bar when you are mentioned and everything in between, but this is is barely noticeable.
Discord has many keybinds that can make your experience easier. Here are a few.
By the way, this is a standard English Windows keyboard.The
E control opens the emoji picker.The F control toggles the search to the current channel you are in. The Ctrl ALT right arrow key toggles the last server you were on as well as the last direct message you were on.
Ctrl K toggle QuickSwitcher
Control K to toggle QuickSwitcher
If you want a full list of key combinations on Discord, press CTRL / or CMD / if you're on a Mac on your keyboard.
Please note that it may differ if your keyboard is not a standard English keyboard.
Want to send a message that looks empty when in reality it isn't?
Type two asterisks, space and two more asterisks.
Now go for it. Confuse your friends. Make them believe your Discord is broken.
Remember when I mentioned keybinds in Discord? Well, you can actually make your own.
Go to your account settings and scroll down until you see the keybinds. Click on Keybinds. Click Add Keybind
Then select the keybind action (which I will toggle to mute), then run the command to save your keybind
Close account settings and now run your newly created keybind
Please note that if the custom keybind that you you choose conflicts with a built-in keybind, Discord will automatically disable the built-in one to allow you to use the custom keybind.
Do you just hate it when you start your computer and Discord is like "Hello"?
Easy. Go to your account settings, scroll down until you see Windows Settings, click on it, and uncheck the first box, also known as Open Discord.
Discord will now stop opening the moment your computer turns on.
Do you also hate it when you type a smiley emoticon, and Discord converts it to an emoji? Easy way to fix it.
Go to your account settings, Text & Pictures, then uncheck the fifth box, also known as Automatically convert emoticons to emojis.
Discord will now stop converting those precious little emoticons like these to emojis.
There is always a way to verify endorsements on desktop and mobile.
On Windows or Mac (or Linux if that's what you're using), you can check your mentions by going to your inbox, which is that box icon near the top right of your screen.
On mobile, tap the search button and the bottom of your screen and tap mentions, now you can see where you've been mentioned, whether it's through a mention of everyone or through a role.
Did your favorite YouTuber just upload, and you want to add reactions,
but you don't want to waste your time clicking through each one individually for about thirty seconds just to maximize?
Easy. Open the emojis tab, hold down the Shift key on your keyboard, and start clicking on the emojis you want to use.
There is another way to add reactions to your own posts.
Type the emoji you want to add to your message, add a + before it, and then tap Send.
This exact emoji will react to your most recent post in the channel.
When you set your status to Online you will not only need to hear that notification sound,
but sometimes when you are working on something else, outside of Discord, or even on another server, you will receive a desktop notification from the last server. you were in,
and if that server is active, the bottom right of your desktop will go crazy.
There is an easy way to do this, Guess where you need to go to do this one? I'll give you ten seconds.
Times, you are wrong! These are your account settings.
Go to Account Settings, scroll down, click Notifications, and uncheck the top box.
Now all you'll hear is this beautiful Discord notification.
Just kidding on that one, it can get super boring.
Bonus! You can burn your eyes right out of their sockets using Discord.
All you have to do is go to your account settings, Appearance and toggle the light theme.
This stunt was performed by a professional, who has already had experience in such stunts (sort of).
Don't try what you just saw at home (unless you want to go blind).
