If you’re a Discord user, you know the drill: to change your nick on a server, you need to type “nickname change” in the chat box. But what if you don’t want your new nickname to show up in chat? Well, there’s a way to hide your nick from other users on a Discord server without having to change it yourself! Here’s how:
- Open up the “Settings” menu on your Discord client and select “Server Settings.”
- In this section, under “Nicknames,” select “Hidden Nickname.”
- Click OK to save your changes.
With Discord’s nickname option, you can have a different name for yourself in each Discord server you’ve joined. This means you can be called “Mahesh” in one server and “Harry” in another. Here’s how to do that in Discord on desktop and mobile.
Change Your Nickname on a Discord Server on Desktop
To start the nickname rename process on your desktop, open the Discord app or the Discord web version. Then sign in to your account if you have not already.
From Discord’s left sidebar, select the server in which you want to assign yourself a new nickname.
At the top, next to the server name, click the down-arrow icon.
From the menu that opens after clicking the down-arrow icon, choose “Edit Server Profile.”
On the “Server Profile” screen, click the “Nickname” field and enter a new nickname for yourself. Then save your changes by clicking “Save Changes” at the bottom.
And that’s it. You have successfully changed your nickname on your selected server, and members on that server will now see your new name.
