The closest that can be achieved is by running Discord in a browser, which will confine Discord inside a secure sandbox and will prevent it from exploring the rest of your system. If you goal is only to stop Discord from finding out which games you play, as pointed out, Discord itself does not provide any option for that. I'd like to put more emphasis on what most people should consider: However, if you use the browser version, Discord will be confined to your browser's sandbox and won't be able to scan your computer for running apps, and most¹ other features should work answer is generally correct, although as is now, the most convenient solution is hidden among many suggestions which are possible for power users, but overkill for most Discord users (deploying a VM, installing a VPN, reverse-enginerring Discord, etc). Unfortunately, it seems Discord aren’t listening as there is no mention of them even contemplating this anytime soon.Unfortulately, Discord does not provide any built-in option to do that. It makes running a server more difficult than it should be and gives users an excuse to lurk and monitor conversations without being seen. I think Discord should remove the invisible setting as soon as they can. You’re just going to have to guess how many people you have online at any one time! On most channels, those set to invisible shouldn’t mind sending a DM to an admin or server owner but not everyone will do that. Invisible users can still DM or send messages but it will immediately tell at least the recipient that they are online. If you want to know who is online, you’re going to need to shout out and request a DM back to count numbers but that could take a while if you run a larger server. As far as I know, there is no bot or hack that will show invisible users either. This is less than ideal if you’re working on channels or want to see what the peak or low numbers are to make administrative changes.
#Discord hide online status Offline#
Not even server owners or admins can see offline users. You will see your own status reflected as Offline with the gray dot to remind you you’re set to invisible.Ĭan server owners or admins see offline users? Once you set yourself to Invisible status, you disappear from the online list for everyone in the channel. You should see this reflected in your avatar once you make the change. If you’re Online, you’re green, Idle is yellow, Do Not Disturb is red and Invisible is a hollow gray dot. From there set a status you want to show.Ī change in status is signified with a change in the color of the dot in your avatar.Select the user icon at the bottom of the screen.To manually set your status in Discord, do this on Mobile: Left click your avatar in the bottom of the channel list.Log into a channel as you normally would.To manually set your status in Discord, do this on desktop: You can manually assign yourself to Idle but otherwise the system will do it for you when it sees you’re not doing anything for a given period of time. With the exception of Idle, you manually assign your status on Discord. If you’re busy doing something else, use DND. If you don’t want to be seen online, log out of Discord. Invisible status doesn’t make sense to me. You don’t want to be disturbed for a while until you’re done. You could be raiding, crafting, in a private chat or doing something else. You’re online but in the middle of something. Another logical status that tells people you’re around but might not answer immediately.ĭo Not Disturb is another logical status. You’re still logged in but may have left your desk to get lunch, be running errands, doing your homework, chores or whatever. You’re on the server, logged in and ready to chat. We all know what we think of people who do that in real life! You can hide in the darkness listening while they have no idea. As well as Online, Idle and Do Not Disturb, you have Invisible which is like having a bug in your living room where all your friends are hanging out and chatting. Not cool as far as I’m concerned.īeing invisible on Discord is one of the statuses you can choose when logged into a channel. I see no positive purpose for an invisible mode except for people to lurk and listen to conversations without anyone knowing they are there. If you don’t want to be seen on Discord, log out. If you want to be left alone, use Do Not Disturb. Personally, I think invisible status should be removed or should be able to be disabled by admins on certain channels. This is one of the most requested features on the suggestion forums but so far the company has not given in to those wishes. No you cannot tell if someone is invisible on Discord.
