There’s a time and a place, however, for notifications to appear. If you’re in a busy meeting, or you want to play a game in peace, you’re not going to want to see notifications pop up. If that’s the case, you’ll need to know how to turn off Discord notifications. Thankfully, you can disable Discord notifications pretty easily—here’s how.
Disable Discord Notifications for Individual Users
Want to mute a chatty friend on Discord? If you’ve not had a quiet word already, you can quickly disable notifications for individual users. This will stop you from receiving pop-up alerts when you receive a new direct message. If the user tags you in a channel message, you won’t receive a notification, and the message itself will remain hidden from view.

Mute Discord Channel Notifications
Some Discord server channels will have more activity than others. If you’re trying to manage your screen time, you may want to mute the channels that you’re not actively participating in. There are two ways to mute a channel on Discord. You can mute it to stop all notifications or, if you prefer, you can limit the type of channel notifications you receive.

Mute Discord Server Notifications
You can also stop all Discord notifications for a particular server by muting the server. You won’t see any pop-up alerts, and the red alert icon (next to the server image) won’t appear. If you’d prefer, you can also limit the type of server notifications you receive, based on their recipient, message location, and user role.

Enjoying Your Discord Server
We’ve shown you a few simple ways to turn off Discord notifications using the steps above. You may also be able to stop or limit notifications using your device’s own settings menu, depending on the device. For example, you may be able to stop app notifications on Windows for the Discord app. Discord is a great way to establish communities around your hobbies and interests. Once you’ve created your own server, you can add bots, play music, or (if you’re not enjoying it), you can delete a Discord server entirely. If you’re a business user, however, you may find that Slack is better. Comment Name * Email *
