How to Leave A Discord Server
Richard Bennett
Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions
Discord is all fun and games if you are a part of a lively server that has a cool community. You can obsess about some game, comic, or song with hundreds of other people without the fear of being called geeky.
However, sometimes you might disagree with other members, which can lead you to hunt for some other server. Other times, the server might be inactive, or you may not mix well with the crowd. Or maybe, you landed there by mistake. So, how do you leave a Discord server?
Whatever your reason, here is a detailed guide on how to leave a server on Discord!
A few things to note before you leave a server –
- After you exit from a server, you will no longer be able to send any texts on it.
- You will not receive any notifications from the server.
- Your username will no longer appear in the member list of the server.
- Whatever role you had in the server will be disabled.
- If you own a server, you will have to transfer the ownership to another member before you quit.
- The person you hand over your server to can do whatever they want with it.
- You can join the server you left again if you change your mind.
Part 1: How to Leave a Discord Server on Computer?
Several peoples and hardcore gamers use Discord over a PC. And you can wave goodbye to the channel in a matter of few seconds. The procedure is the same for Mac and Windows.
- Open Discord on your computer (the desktop app or on the browser).
- Tap on the server name that appears towards the top left.
- Right at the bottom of the list, click on the option leave server
After confirming you won’t be a part of that server anymore. You cannot send any texts or get any notifications. The server name will disappear from the server list in your profile.
Part 2: How to Leave a Discord Server on the Mobile App?
The procedure of leaving the server is more or less the same on the mobile app. The user interface of Discord does not differ much across the devices. To quit a server, follow these steps -
- Click open the Discord app on your mobile.
- Click on the right pane and click on the 3 dots that appear. Click on the name of the server that you want to leave.
- From the menu that opens, scroll towards the bottom and click on the leave server option.
After confirmation, you will not be a part of the server anymore. The process is the same for ios and Android devices.
If you have decided to take a break from gaming and Discord, you can consider uninstalling the app temporarily. You can also turn off the notifications in the app settings on your device.
Bonus: How to Transfer Discord Server Ownership?
How to leave your own Discord server? If your server has many members in it, it is wiser to transfer the ownership rather than shutting the server completely or abandoning it to fate. Especially if the users are active, then you can handover the ownership to a trustworthy person.
Here is how you can do it -
For desktop
The process is quite simple and only takes a few minutes.
- Open the Discord app or log in using the browser.
- Click on the server that you want to leave.
- With right-click, open up the floating menu.
- From that list, select server settings and then choose members.
- Select the user that You Want To handover your server to. Tap those 3 dots and tap on ‘transfer ownership.’
- Confirm your choice and then click on transfer ownership.
- The chosen member will become the new owner of the server.
On mobile
The transfer procedure is quite similar to the desktop version. However, it has a few extra steps.
- Open your Discord App on your phone.
- Select the server that you want to give away.
- Tap those 3 dots to open up the menu. Under user management, tap on ‘members.’
- Select the member that will be the new owner of your server. Tap the 3 dots that appear next to the name of that user.
- A confirmation box will appear.
- Check off the box to confirm your choice.
Your server is now successfully transferred to the selected member. And the new owner can decide what to do with the server.
FAQs About Leaving A Discord Server
- How can I leave a Discord server without anyone knowing?
Frankly speaking, there is no magic to help conceal your disappearance from a server. There is no way to hide your departure. However, you can take a few measures to make it less noticeable.
- Lay low for a few hours or days. This won’t work if you are the loudest member on the server. But still, it’s worth a shot.
- Try changing your avatar, profile picture, and nickname. This can throw people off the track or confuse them for a while.
- Control yourself and try not to tell anyone that you are leaving.
- And now it’s time for the discreet farewell!
You might still get some texts on personal asking about your exit. This is not a surefire way of making your exit a secret. However, hundreds of members along with bots will make your disappearance less apparent. Another solution would be to create a new user ID and leave the old one inactive.
- Does leaving a Discord server delete your messages?
No, none of the texts that you sent on the server get deleted. Every text remains, even after you leave. The only way you can delete your texts if you delete them all one by one, or someone with sufficient permissions deletes them. If you get banned, then the member who banned you decides whether to keep your messages on the server or remove them. In this case, your texts can be removed if the member deletes them.

Tight-Knit Teams, Top Chat Platforms: Which Rules the Game - Slack or Discord?
Slack Vs. Discord: Which Is Better for Your Team
Richard Bennett
Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions
Discord is popular among gamers as they use it to connect with team members, stream their play, and interact within the community.
Though, that is not to say that Discord is useless for non-gaming purposes.
Slack offers a pretty similar scope of use to Discord as a group chat application. However, it only caters to working individuals looking to liaison for projects and communicate effortlessly for work-related tasks.
Although they may be similar in a lot of ways, which is better for your needs? Let’s compare them in detail and find out!
Part 1: Discord Vs. Slack Pricing
Pricing is where Slack takes a hit. If you’re low on budget, Discord is definitely a better option. Slack users must pay for a subscription, with the plans starting from $6.67 per month for simple features, such as removing the limit of 10,000 searchable messages and 10 integrations.
For extended features, such as guest access, 99.99% uptime, and 24/7 customer care, customers will have to shell out $12.5 per month.
In contrast, Discord offers free access to users with pretty much no limitations. Users can keep their team’s message history in the free version and generally access most of the features.
However, if you want extra perks, such as higher screen sharing quality, extras space, or animated emojis , you can subscribe to the Discord Nitro plan. Slack vs. Discord has a clear winner if you’re only considering the price point: Discord!
Discord has a Nitro plan that provides unfiltered service, whereas it is still completely usable without it.
Slack has various limits to features on three different levels
Part 2: Discord Vs. Slack Interface
Both apps share many similarities in their template and interface. Users will find their contacts on the left and conversations on the right on both apps.
However, Slack’s interface is much more user-friendly and concise, with all the DMs, apps, and channels visible on the right.
In contrast, users might be initially thrown off by Discord due to its more complicated nature. If they want to access channels and direct messages, they will have to find them through different menus.
But compared to Slack, users will find it easier to customize their Discord profile . They can add different theme colors and a light mode.
Slack’s customization options also offer variety, but applying the changes can be quite cumbersome because of the complicated format. Discord is more intuitive when compared to Slack in terms of use.
Also, what you see as servers in Discord are essentially teams in Slack, and switching teams in Slack is more complicated than changing Discord servers.
Lastly, when using Discord, you can join and leave servers at will, while you will have to go through an onboarding process for each team in Slack.
Slack vs. Discord is so hotly contested because of their similarities, and the interface is the biggest one of them all!
Part 3: Discord Vs. Slack Conversations
Slack gives users the liberty to communicate in various ways, including direct messages, public conversations, and private channels.
In contrast, Discord channels only allow for communication using text and voice. Channel members can be assigned specific roles, and users can also communicate via private channels.
Moreover, Slack does not have an official limit for team members, while Discord does have a server limit of 500,000 members.
If the number of online members exceeds 250,000, users need to contact Discord support for extra server space.
Image: Discord (left) and Slack (right) also have a very similar way to send direct messages to various accounts
Part 4: Slack Vs. Discord Video Call
Discord is known for its voice calls , allowing users to access special voice channels to just join and start speaking.
This feature is desirable to gamers who want to interact with friends in between games. Users can speak to 5,000 people simultaneously and see up to 9 friends at a time.
In contrast, Slack offers quite basic video calling features, missing out on crucial features like noise suspension and echo cancellation, which Discord offers.
Also, Discord offers a push-to-talk feature where users can turn their mics on during gaming sessions.
On Discord (left), the video call hub will drop down from the top, whereas, on Slack (left), the hub appears in the middle of the screen
Both of these apps do not feature built-in voice messaging. Slack does offer the luxury of recording voice messages, but that requires third-party integration. Discord completely misses out on this feature.
If we were to rate the two apps for video calling features, Discord seems to come out on top, offering many advanced features for its users.
Part 5: Discord Vs. Slack File Sharing
Users can share files on both Discord and Slack, with the size limit of files being the main difference.
With Discord, users can share files up to 8MB, but upgrading to the Nitro plan increases this limit to 15MB. In contrast, Slack allows users to share files up to 1GB.
However, Slack users cannot save these shared files forever, while Discord allows their users to save unlimited messages and file history.
This feature is handy if users need to access the files they shared in the past. They can also subscribe to the Nitro plan for longer backlogs and get a 50MB limit per file instead of the 8MB in the free version.
With Slack, users can even share Google Drive, along with code and text snippets, which is a valuable feature for business and work-related file-sharing.
In contrast, users can only share files from their own device on Discord. However, it is necessary to confirm before sharing files in both apps, which can be cumbersome for large file transfers.
The file-sharing prompt on Discord (left) and Slack (right) is also somewhat similar, with both providing instant sharing by holding down the Shift button
Part 6: Discord Vs. Slack Screen Sharing
Slack restricts video calls to two people, except for users who have subscribed to an extension plan. For paid users, the limit extends to 15 people.
It allows anyone to share their screen on a video call, regardless of their payment plan, and users can access both video and voice calls with the same button.
Discord also allows users to share their screens with other members, giving them the luxury to share their entire screen, a particular window, or gameplay with up to 9 people at a time, without making any changes to the settings.
Image: The screen sharing tools on Discord (Left) are more descriptive and provide more options than those for Slack (Left)
Part 7: Discord Vs. Slack Summary
When it comes to video calling and file-sharing, both apps can boast their qualities, catering to different target audiences and serving various purposes.
Discord prioritizes voice chat, where gamers can communicate with their friends while playing games. Slack is more business-centric as it emphasizes text chat, file transfers, and project collaboration, with a slightly more formal structure.
If you’re looking for a more social-media-oriented network, where you can communicate with your peers easily in an informal manner, Discord is the right app for you. It is a dream for gamers, and now even for people collaborating at work!
However, if you’re looking for an app that caters more to work-related purposes, with a large number of integrations, and a text-oriented layout, Slack will serve you well. It’s an adequate team chat app for businesses and organizations.
At the end of the day, Slack vs. Discord is a fight whose victor is down to the user. What app you choose depends on your purpose and the goal you want to achieve.
And although Discord is well-placed to be the future of communications, as it stands, some gamers use Slack, and some businessmen use Discord. So, there’s no saying that one app serves only one specific purpose.

Part 4: Slack Vs. Discord Video Call
Discord is known for its voice calls , allowing users to access special voice channels to just join and start speaking.
This feature is desirable to gamers who want to interact with friends in between games. Users can speak to 5,000 people simultaneously and see up to 9 friends at a time.
In contrast, Slack offers quite basic video calling features, missing out on crucial features like noise suspension and echo cancellation, which Discord offers.
Also, Discord offers a push-to-talk feature where users can turn their mics on during gaming sessions.
On Discord (left), the video call hub will drop down from the top, whereas, on Slack (left), the hub appears in the middle of the screen
Both of these apps do not feature built-in voice messaging. Slack does offer the luxury of recording voice messages, but that requires third-party integration. Discord completely misses out on this feature.
If we were to rate the two apps for video calling features, Discord seems to come out on top, offering many advanced features for its users.
Part 5: Discord Vs. Slack File Sharing
Users can share files on both Discord and Slack, with the size limit of files being the main difference.
With Discord, users can share files up to 8MB, but upgrading to the Nitro plan increases this limit to 15MB. In contrast, Slack allows users to share files up to 1GB.
However, Slack users cannot save these shared files forever, while Discord allows their users to save unlimited messages and file history.
This feature is handy if users need to access the files they shared in the past. They can also subscribe to the Nitro plan for longer backlogs and get a 50MB limit per file instead of the 8MB in the free version.
With Slack, users can even share Google Drive, along with code and text snippets, which is a valuable feature for business and work-related file-sharing.
In contrast, users can only share files from their own device on Discord. However, it is necessary to confirm before sharing files in both apps, which can be cumbersome for large file transfers.
The file-sharing prompt on Discord (left) and Slack (right) is also somewhat similar, with both providing instant sharing by holding down the Shift button
Part 6: Discord Vs. Slack Screen Sharing
Slack restricts video calls to two people, except for users who have subscribed to an extension plan. For paid users, the limit extends to 15 people.
It allows anyone to share their screen on a video call, regardless of their payment plan, and users can access both video and voice calls with the same button.
Discord also allows users to share their screens with other members, giving them the luxury to share their entire screen, a particular window, or gameplay with up to 9 people at a time, without making any changes to the settings.

Part 7: Discord Vs. Slack Summary
When it comes to video calling and file-sharing, both apps can boast their qualities, catering to different target audiences and serving various purposes.
Discord prioritizes voice chat, where gamers can communicate with their friends while playing games. Slack is more business-centric as it emphasizes text chat, file transfers, and project collaboration, with a slightly more formal structure.
If you’re looking for a more social-media-oriented network, where you can communicate with your peers easily in an informal manner, Discord is the right app for you. It is a dream for gamers, and now even for people collaborating at work!
However, if you’re looking for an app that caters more to work-related purposes, with a large number of integrations, and a text-oriented layout, Slack will serve you well. It’s an adequate team chat app for businesses and organizations.
At the end of the day, Slack vs. Discord is a fight whose victor is down to the user. What app you choose depends on your purpose and the goal you want to achieve.
And although Discord is well-placed to be the future of communications, as it stands, some gamers use Slack, and some businessmen use Discord. So, there’s no saying that one app serves only one specific purpose.

Discord is popular among gamers as they use it to connect with team members, stream their play, and interact within the community.
Though, that is not to say that Discord is useless for non-gaming purposes.
Slack offers a pretty similar scope of use to Discord as a group chat application. However, it only caters to working individuals looking to liaison for projects and communicate effortlessly for work-related tasks.
Although they may be similar in a lot of ways, which is better for your needs? Let’s compare them in detail and find out!
Part 1: Discord Vs. Slack Pricing
Pricing is where Slack takes a hit. If you’re low on budget, Discord is definitely a better option. Slack users must pay for a subscription, with the plans starting from $6.67 per month for simple features, such as removing the limit of 10,000 searchable messages and 10 integrations.
For extended features, such as guest access, 99.99% uptime, and 24/7 customer care, customers will have to shell out $12.5 per month.
In contrast, Discord offers free access to users with pretty much no limitations. Users can keep their team’s message history in the free version and generally access most of the features.
However, if you want extra perks, such as higher screen sharing quality, extras space, or animated emojis , you can subscribe to the Discord Nitro plan. Slack vs. Discord has a clear winner if you’re only considering the price point: Discord!
Discord has a Nitro plan that provides unfiltered service, whereas it is still completely usable without it.
Slack has various limits to features on three different levels
Part 2: Discord Vs. Slack Interface
Both apps share many similarities in their template and interface. Users will find their contacts on the left and conversations on the right on both apps.
However, Slack’s interface is much more user-friendly and concise, with all the DMs, apps, and channels visible on the right.
In contrast, users might be initially thrown off by Discord due to its more complicated nature. If they want to access channels and direct messages, they will have to find them through different menus.
But compared to Slack, users will find it easier to customize their Discord profile . They can add different theme colors and a light mode.
Slack’s customization options also offer variety, but applying the changes can be quite cumbersome because of the complicated format. Discord is more intuitive when compared to Slack in terms of use.
Also, what you see as servers in Discord are essentially teams in Slack, and switching teams in Slack is more complicated than changing Discord servers.
Lastly, when using Discord, you can join and leave servers at will, while you will have to go through an onboarding process for each team in Slack.
Slack vs. Discord is so hotly contested because of their similarities, and the interface is the biggest one of them all!
Part 3: Discord Vs. Slack Conversations
Slack gives users the liberty to communicate in various ways, including direct messages, public conversations, and private channels.
In contrast, Discord channels only allow for communication using text and voice. Channel members can be assigned specific roles, and users can also communicate via private channels.
Moreover, Slack does not have an official limit for team members, while Discord does have a server limit of 500,000 members.
If the number of online members exceeds 250,000, users need to contact Discord support for extra server space.
