Want to pretend you are offline on Discord while online? If yes, this post on how to appear offline on Discord will show you how to do that, plus help you with the meaning of other Discord online status options.
Changing your online presence can really be necessary if you don’t want to let a family member or friend know you’ve been staying up late at night. Also, when playing some games, you may wish to stay private while enjoying the title.
How to Appear Offline on Discord:
Regardless of the situation, changing your online status is very simple. Just follow the below instructions.
- Log in to Discord on the web app or desktop client.
- At the bottom left-corner screen, right-click your avatar.
- From the small menu that pops up, choose “invisible.” This will instantly set your status to offline, but you’ll still have full access to Discord and its features.
When you’re ready to appear online again, just repeat step 2 and choose “Online” from the status picker menu. That said, let me briefly explain other status options.
Online:
When you are active on Discord, in other words, online, there is a green circle on the lower-right bottom of your avatar. This lets friends, family, and server members know you’re available online.
Idle:
If you’re inactive for some time, Discord will automatically set your status to idle. This will be changed to online after resuming activity. If you intend to stay away indefinitely, manually set it by right-clicking your avatar and select “Idle.” You’ll stay this way for as long as you wish.
Do Not Disturb:
Being in do not disturb mode puts a small red circle on the right lower left of your avatar. When in this mode, all desktop notifications will be muted.
