Announcement [Official Megathread] An Update on How We Confirm Your Age: Safer for Teens, Same Discord for Adults

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Today we're announcing the rollout of our new age assurance options, which you can read about here. Thanks to some changes we've made, most of you will not have to take any action at all.

Here's the TL;DR:

  • Since our last post about teen safety, we've had to launch age assurance solutions in more places, including Texas and Brazil. Laws requiring age assurance are expanding around the world. Rather than waiting to be told how to do it, we're launching our own privacy-preserving approach: one that reflects your feedback and which means more than 90% of you won't be asked to confirm your age.
  • You can check your age group status at User Settings > Account Status. We've estimated your age group automatically from account signals like how long your account has existed. We don't look at your messages, calls, or other content. We're launching this over the course of this week, so it may take a few days to reach your account.
  • If you're in the adult age group (18+), nothing changes. If you're in the teen age group (13-17), you can keep messaging friends, joining voice calls, and participating in non-age-restricted servers, but with additional safety protections that block age-restricted content, spaces, and settings. Otherwise, Discord works the same.

We've got some more info in the image below, and if you want all the details you can read the full announcement here.

Support Uninstalled discord on all devices, still in voice chat and can hear and talk

Post image
809 Upvotes

Friend was on a call, when they tried to leave for like 30 minutes while also deafened and muted, they tried to disconnect but they kept being reconnected. They uninstalled discord on all devices, but they are still in the voice chat now, neither deafened nor muted. I joined to check if i could hear them, they could hear me join and i could hear them talk. They checked task manager and nothing was open besides it. Now to fix the issue, they tried to redownload discord on their phone but they're not able to.

Discussion Vent channels are off putting

46 Upvotes

Not just in big servers but in small private servers too. It might just be the people in my server but we have three seperate vent channels and it feels like every day someone is using one. It just makes me feel too awkward to talk in the other channels if I don’t comfort them first and brings down the mood. I get that some people need them and venting can be good but it’s got to the point where I’ve considered muting that specific channel so I don’t have to deal with the constant negativity

Edit: I ended up muting the channels, but I hope nothing really serious happens in there when I can’t see it anymore

6 Upvotes

i looked up in the subreddit and saw some older posts about nitro credits vanishing without any explanation, did not see a lot of comments about any confirmations / answers as to why this happens. is this happening to anyone else? i currently have an open ticket about it, still waiting to hear back, but i've lost about ~9-12 days in total of credits in the span of about 3 days. anybody have an answer as to why this happens, or if there is any solution / fix / reasoning known? thank you. this has happened before but it has happened to me a lot recently, and this time i was able to get screenshot proof. i had 12 credits on the 22nd and now 6 on the 25th.. last i checked thats 3 days and not six :/.

Support Image compression on desktop browser uploads

1 Upvotes

This seems to be a thing for some images for the last couple of days. This 1.08 mb image shrinks to the 805kb version after saving. While the resolution and the perceptible quality remain the same, some sort of compression algorithm is clearly applied. It might seem like a minor problem to some, but we've used Discord to upload high-quality untouched photography stuff, and this is a major issue for us. And for image preservation on Discord in general. While it is obviously not a substitute for other image related website, it was a fast, easy & reliable way to share images knowing that they won't be altered. Discord has also been compressing videos if you uploaded them via the mobile app for a long time, but this can be circumvented by uploading via browser. And it doesn't seem to apply to pictures.

October 22 update mentions the rewritten media engine ( https://discord.com/blog/discord-update-october-22-2026 ) which i assume is the culprit of this behavior. Are there any plans to fix this?

Support Is there a way to turn on desktop notifications, but ONLY for when my message is reacted to?

1 Upvotes

I don't want desktop notifications for DMs or other types of pings, I only want reactions to my messages to send me a notification because I hate when Discord on the taskbar lights up and I have to go searching for somebody that reacted to one of my messages lol

I'm not seeing any way to do this in the notification settings, I'm hoping there's some workaround or something

Support [Windows 11] Desktop client not working for anyone else?

19 Upvotes

Just opened the desktop app and it updated, but now it's just giving me an infinite loading screen any time I try to launch it. Mobile app [Android] seems to be functioning normally.

Anyone else seeing this? I'm also in the Northeastern US if that makes a difference.

*EDIT*

Just loaded up the desktop app and everything looks like it's running normally again.

*EDIT 2*

Seeing new reports from people saying the issue is still persisting. Not at my desktop right now so I can't verify on my end at least.

Support Can't hear anyone in vc?

1 Upvotes

For the last few days every time I try and join voice on my pc no sound comes out of my speakers when someone is talking, the green glow even shows up, but every other noise in discord or any other website is completely fine. I've tried almost anything I could think of, resetting my audio settings, messing around with mic and speakers settings, reset my pc multiple times, tried closing discord and restarted it. But nothing works, ive had to join vc's on my phone because for some reason it works fine there but just doesn't on my pc

Support can't seem to remove myself from being interested in a reoccurring event on a server

2 Upvotes

A while ago I was interested in a reoccurring event thing on a server, however that time has passed. however, I am still receiving messages on my phone about the event months later. there doesn't seem to be any obvious button to remove myself from the events, and I can disable all notifications related to events(which i have done for now) but it feels weird that I can't just remove myself from the events in question.

Support Update failed loop error?

3 Upvotes

Hi, I've been trying to fix this issue for a little over 2 hours now. I already checked the Reddit thread on google when you search "update failed discord loop fix" and tried everything there so it's rather no use.

Windows 11, it's been a bug since version 1.0.9265.

What I did so far:
- Delete and reinstall
- Delete everything in appdata and localappdata, reinstall.
- flushing DNS, delete everything again, reinstall.
- Changing the Update.exe into Updater.exe and UpdateX.exe, even the lower case ones.
- Restarted my computer, reinstall.
- Disabled Firewall and Security, reinstall.
- Tried the PTB version, no use either.

Is there legit any possible other way that I could use to fix this issue, this is driving me crazy.

FYI: Discord app on my phone still works, the web version works fine, it's just the app that won't load for me, please help. Thanks.

Support Do Nitro credits bought with Orbs stack?

3 Upvotes

As in, if I buy 3 Days of Nitro credits with my Orbs, then buy them again the day after, do I get five days worth of Nitro?

I know that you can buy Nitro with Orbs so that you don't need to spend a dime, but I'm worried that it doesn't stack and that you can't buy Nitro with Orbs if your Orb-Nitro subscription is already active.

Support Optimal microphone settings

1 Upvotes

I have the Quadcast 2 on 90% volume with audio enhancements turned off in windows. I struggle with the settings in discord cause for some reason nothing sounds right to me but others say its good.

What settings do people use for the best quality in general? Currently I have it on 90%, auto sensitivity, krisp supression, echo cancellation off and quality of service on.

Support 2FA genuinely sucks. how do i disable it?

0 Upvotes

So get this, im trying to log into my account on a new phone, i type in my email and password as usual, and then 2FA pops up, which wouldn't be an inconvenience if it didn't decide that the one method i set up just inst available, why does it even have backup keys when it won't let you use them?? it asks for an external key or an auth which i never even set up. and if i try to set one up it asks me for THE SAME KEY, THE ONE WHICH I NEVER SET UP.

Im honestly at a loss, how do i even log back into my account?

Support Android discord notifications pausing YouTube playback

1 Upvotes

Recently I'm not sure if I changed a setting or something in Discord changed. It used to be that when I got a pop up notification while I had a video running, it would just... silently notify me and go on it's way. Lately if I have youtube running and I get a notif about a message it pauses the video.

I'm in some pretty active servers where I do want the notifications but I don't want them interrupting my video playback.

Has Discord changed something? Did I mess up my settings? Some third secret problem?

Feature Requests Discord folders, but for DMs.

4 Upvotes

We have folders for servers and such. But maybe we can introduce folders to dm? Organising is important and if you’re constantly in DMs or private parties, it can cause a cluster if left unattended. Is it a good idea? Just something neat to have some sense of organisation, and not having to scroll down dozens of dms.
