Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions
Discord is a great place to hang out with like-minded people and just relax. But sometimes you want to do more than just chat using text messaging, which is where video calling comes in handy.
Discord has video call options built into the desktop app, the web browser and the mobile app, so you don’t need to switch between different software when you want to chat on video with your friends or colleagues. Read on to find out how to make a video call on Discord.
- Part 1: Best Settings for Discord Video Call
- Part 2: How to Make a Private Video Call on Discord?
- Part 3: How to Make a Server Video Call on Discord?
- Part 4: FAQs about Discord Video Call
Part 1: Best Settings for Discord Video Call
Before you start calling everyone, you’ll want to check your settings to make sure you have the best experience. It’s important to make sure you’ve got your best equipment setup to work for the highest quality audio and video possible.
So, start by heading to the User Settings page. You’ll find this at the bottom left of the screen – look for the cog icon next to your name. You won’t see this on mobile, this is only on the desktop app and the web browser version of Discord.
Once you’ve opened settings, you’ll want to click on the Voice & Video tab. Here you can check your microphone settings and adjust the volume, and choose your camera. If you’re using an external camera instead of the built-in option, check that the right one is selected in the dropdown.
You can also use this opportunity to run a test video – so that you know you’re well-lit, properly framed and otherwise good to go. You can adjust the lighting in your room or move the camera if you don’t feel it’s quite right.
One quick note for the web browser version of Discord – you’ll be asked to grant permission to your microphone and camera. Make sure you allow the site to use your equipment otherwise it won’t work on the video call.
Once you are happy, just click the close button at the top right of the settings options.
Part 2: How to Make a Private Video Call on Discord?
Once you’ve got your settings ready, you’re set to make your private Discord video call. If you’re doing it on the web browser or desktop app, you’ll need to first navigate to the inbox you share with the person you want to call. Do this by clicking on the Home button at the top left – you’ll then get a list of all your contacts.
If you’re only calling one person then it’s easy – just click on their name.
If you want to call a private group, you need to click the + button and then create a group DM. Add the names of the users you want to call.
Once you’re in the direct message window of the person or group you want to call, you need to look at the buttons at the top right of the screen. The second icon that looks like a video camera is the one you’re looking for. Click that and you’ll start a video call.
You’ll see yourself on screen at this point, but you’ll need to wait until the other person or group members have joined the call for the chat to properly begin.
The process of making video call on Discord mobile is essentially identical. You just need to open the direct message group and click on the video call icon, which is still at the top right of your screen.
You’ll need to give permissions for the Discord mobile app to use your microphone and camera if you haven’t already.
Once you’ve finished your video call on either desktop or mobile, just hit the red button to end it and switch your camera off again.
Part 3: How to Make a Server Video Call on Discord?
If you want to make a group video call on a public server, you again need to first navigate to the server. Once you’re there, you’ll need to join the voice channel that you should see on the left side of the screen.
Once you’re in the voice channel, click Lounge, Community Hangout or Stream Room, and then switch on your camera by clicking the ‘Video’ button. You’ll find this at the bottom-left of the screen. Again, if you’re on the web browser, you’ll be asked by your browser for permission to use your camera at this stage.
And that’s it – the video call is now live and anyone who joins the voice channel will be able to see you, chat to you and switch on their camera to join the video conference as well.
On mobile, it’s slightly different. You’ll still want to head to the server you want to join and then click on the voice channel to join it. But as soon as you click on the voice channel, you’ll get a pop-up with an icon at the bottom right where you can instantly switch on your camera.
If you prefer, you can still just join as voice, and then at any stage click on your name where you’ll be able to then switch on your camera to turn a voice chat into a video call.
Whenever you want to end the video call, just click on your name again to switch off your camera, or disconnect completely from the voice channel.
FAQs About Discord Video Chat Call
1. How Many People Can Join in the Discord Group Video Call?
Normally, the limit for the number of users on a group video call in Discord is 10. However, during the Coronavirus pandemic, the team behind Discord know that it’s a valuable tool to help people stay connected. So the limit has been increased to 25 users. This may be reduced in the future once the world returns to some sense of normality.
2. How to Join a Video Call on Discord?
Joining an existing video call on Discord is a really easy process.
If it’s a private video call, you’ll get a pop-up in the chat window letting you know that a video call has been started. You have the option of declining the video call, joining it with video, or just joining with voice without your camera switched on.
If instead, it’s a public server where a video call is happening, you just need to join the voice channel by clicking on it on the left side of the screen, and then clicking on the video button next to your name, just as if you were starting the call in the first place.

How to Delete Discord Account [Step-by-Step]
Richard Bennett
Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions
Discord is a voice and text chat service to bring like-minded people together, especially e-sports professionals.
The goal was to provide users with an improved communications platform that could streamline the way people speak in real-time and over the internet.
Originally designed for gamers, the app allowed users to communicate with others who share interests on a given topic.
After a while, the Discord app expanded its reach and included non-gamers as well. Today, it is one of the most popular chatting apps out there.
However, if, for any reason, you want to delete or disable your account for good, you can. In the following articles, you will learn about how to delete your account step by step.
- Part 1: Deleting A Discord Account Permanently on Desktop Computer
- Part 2: Deleting Discord Account from Mobile Devices
- Part 3: How to Disable Discord Account On Desktop Computer
- Part 4: How To Disable Discord Account On Mobile?
Part 1: How To Delete A Discord Account Permanently?
Are you done with a game, scared about your data, or just bored with the app? No problem! If you want to learn how to delete your discord account, look no further.
But before doing so, you’ll have to do two quick things:
- Reassign ‘administrative rights’ of the servers
- Completely delete them
The only reason you will have to think about these things is if you assumed responsibility for any server.
Without further ado, here are some easy to follow steps to delete a Discord account permanently:
- Open the Discord app
- Sign in to your Discord account and open the user settings option (Cog icon)
- Click the “My Account” option in the user setting menu. At the very bottom of the screen, you’ll see the “delete account” option
- Click the delete account button to make your Discord account disappear!
However, if you’ve activated 2FA, you may also be asked to put your password and 2FA code.
Also, if you want to delete your account permanently, there are some things you need to do before completing the process.
As mentioned before, if you’re the server’s owner, you’ll have to either delete your server or transfer its ownership to a trusted source.
For transferring ownership on Discord, follow these steps:
- Open the Discord app
- Click the “server name,” and a range of options will open; then click “server setting”
- At the bottom-left of the screen, click the ‘members’ option below “User Management”
- Here you’ll make the critical decision of who gets the keys to your kingdom. Once you decide who to transfer the ownership to, click the “3 vertical dots”
- As the “dialog menu” opens, click “Transfer Ownership”
Once it’s completed, you’ll become a regular server member. Your access to the server will be limited and as per the set position.
On the other hand, if you don’t want to transfer its ownership to someone else, you can also delete it.
Here’s how you can delete the server to complete the process of deleting your Discord account:
- Click the “Server Name” again
- Within the several options, click the “Server Settings.”
- At the bottom-left of your window, click the “Delete Server” option in the “User Management” section.
- Once clicked, the system will ask you to enter the account password to delete your server (or servers) from existence altogether
Like the primary Discord account deletion process, if you have enabled 2FA on this account, you’ll have to put in the code to get things completed.
After this, you’ll be asked one more time to click the “delete server” button before it is completely deleted. Keep in mind that you’ll have 14 days time to recover your Discord account. Once the two-week time passes, you won’t be able to retrieve or sign in to your account.
Once the account is deleted, the username will show up as “deleteduser 0000” or something similar to this. However, users you have texted via your account will still see your texts.
Part 2: How to Delete Discord Account From iPhone And Android?
Yes, you can delete the discord account from iPhone and Android. And if you’re wondering how to delete a Discord account, Here’s a quick way to do it:
- Open your updated discord app and tap the “hamburger” menu located at the top-left
- Tap the gear icon so you can go to the “user settings.”
- Select “My Account”
- Below the “Account Management” option, choose “Delete Account” and put your password and 2FA (if you have set it up)
Part 3: How To Disable Discord Account On Desktop Computer?
Deleting the account means you won’t be able to use it further, whereas disabling the account normally means you’re taking a little break.
So, if you don’t want to remove or delete your account entirely but only want it gone for some time, choose the disable option.
Here’s how you can disable a Discord account on a desktop computer:
- Open the app on your window PC/Mac and then log in to your Discord account
- Click the “User Settings” option and then go to the “My Account” option within the user settings
- In the lower corner of your Mac/PC screen, you’ll see the “Disable Account” button next to the “Delete Account” button
- Click the “Disable Account” option, and it will be disabled.
What’s The Difference Between Disabling And Deleting A Discord Account?
Disabling the account means you can recover it anytime you want, unlike deleting the account where you only have a 14-day restoration window. Additionally, when the account is disabled, you won’t receive notifications, but you will still get “friend requests.”
Part 4: How To Disable Discord Account On Mobile?
Disabling your Discord account for Android and iOS isn’t as simple as it is on a Desktop Windows/Mac PC.
Currently, there is no direct way to either delete or disable your Discord account through a mobile device.
Nevertheless, follow the steps below to disable your Discord account on mobile:
- Open the Discord application on your smartphone
- Tap the cog icon on the lower right corner of the phone
- Tap on the “My Account” option in the “User Settings” menu
- You’ll have the choice to either “Delete Account” or “Disable Account.” However, whatever you choose, you’ll be prompted to the support page explaining ways to disable or delete your account
- To complete disabling process from a mobile device, you’ll have to send a request to the support team, as it’s the only way to disable your account via your smartphone
FAQs About Deleting Discord Account
1. How Long Does Discord Take To Delete Account?
Typically, once you have completed the entire deletion process, Discord takes approximately 14 to 30 days to process it.
2. What Happens When You Delete Discord Account?
Deleting your discord account won’t delete the information you have on the account. It will delete your profile and rename the account to “deleteduser.” However, all your data and messages will remain on the server or servers.
3. Can I Re-Use The Deleted Discord Account?
You can re-use your deleted discord account only if the account is in a “pending deletion state,” which is 14 days. If the time is passed, you won’t be able to re-use it.

But before doing so, you’ll have to do two quick things:
- Reassign ‘administrative rights’ of the servers
- Completely delete them
The only reason you will have to think about these things is if you assumed responsibility for any server.
Without further ado, here are some easy to follow steps to delete a Discord account permanently:
- Open the Discord app
- Sign in to your Discord account and open the user settings option (Cog icon)
- Click the “My Account” option in the user setting menu. At the very bottom of the screen, you’ll see the “delete account” option
- Click the delete account button to make your Discord account disappear!
However, if you’ve activated 2FA, you may also be asked to put your password and 2FA code.
Also, if you want to delete your account permanently, there are some things you need to do before completing the process.
As mentioned before, if you’re the server’s owner, you’ll have to either delete your server or transfer its ownership to a trusted source.
For transferring ownership on Discord, follow these steps:
- Open the Discord app
- Click the “server name,” and a range of options will open; then click “server setting”
- At the bottom-left of the screen, click the ‘members’ option below “User Management”
- Here you’ll make the critical decision of who gets the keys to your kingdom. Once you decide who to transfer the ownership to, click the “3 vertical dots”
- As the “dialog menu” opens, click “Transfer Ownership”
Once it’s completed, you’ll become a regular server member. Your access to the server will be limited and as per the set position.
On the other hand, if you don’t want to transfer its ownership to someone else, you can also delete it.
Here’s how you can delete the server to complete the process of deleting your Discord account:
- Click the “Server Name” again
- Within the several options, click the “Server Settings.”
- At the bottom-left of your window, click the “Delete Server” option in the “User Management” section.
- Once clicked, the system will ask you to enter the account password to delete your server (or servers) from existence altogether
Like the primary Discord account deletion process, if you have enabled 2FA on this account, you’ll have to put in the code to get things completed.
After this, you’ll be asked one more time to click the “delete server” button before it is completely deleted. Keep in mind that you’ll have 14 days time to recover your Discord account. Once the two-week time passes, you won’t be able to retrieve or sign in to your account.
Once the account is deleted, the username will show up as “deleteduser 0000” or something similar to this. However, users you have texted via your account will still see your texts.
Part 2: How to Delete Discord Account From iPhone And Android?
Yes, you can delete the discord account from iPhone and Android. And if you’re wondering how to delete a Discord account, Here’s a quick way to do it:
- Open your updated discord app and tap the “hamburger” menu located at the top-left
- Tap the gear icon so you can go to the “user settings.”
- Select “My Account”
- Below the “Account Management” option, choose “Delete Account” and put your password and 2FA (if you have set it up)
Part 3: How To Disable Discord Account On Desktop Computer?
Deleting the account means you won’t be able to use it further, whereas disabling the account normally means you’re taking a little break.
So, if you don’t want to remove or delete your account entirely but only want it gone for some time, choose the disable option.
Here’s how you can disable a Discord account on a desktop computer:
- Open the app on your window PC/Mac and then log in to your Discord account
- Click the “User Settings” option and then go to the “My Account” option within the user settings
- In the lower corner of your Mac/PC screen, you’ll see the “Disable Account” button next to the “Delete Account” button
- Click the “Disable Account” option, and it will be disabled.
What’s The Difference Between Disabling And Deleting A Discord Account?
Disabling the account means you can recover it anytime you want, unlike deleting the account where you only have a 14-day restoration window. Additionally, when the account is disabled, you won’t receive notifications, but you will still get “friend requests.”
Part 4: How To Disable Discord Account On Mobile?
Disabling your Discord account for Android and iOS isn’t as simple as it is on a Desktop Windows/Mac PC.
Currently, there is no direct way to either delete or disable your Discord account through a mobile device.
Nevertheless, follow the steps below to disable your Discord account on mobile:
