Are you tired of your friends knowing what game you’re playing on Discord? Maybe you want to keep your gaming habits a secret, or maybe you just don’t want to be bothered by unsolicited game invites. Whatever the reason, there are a few simple steps you can take to hide your game activity from your Discord friends.
The first step is to open the Discord settings menu. You can do this by clicking on the gear icon in the bottom left corner of the Discord window. Once the settings menu is open, click on the “Game Activity” tab. On this tab, you will see a list of all the games that you have recently played. To hide a game from your friends, simply click on the “X” next to the game’s name. You can also choose to disable the “Display currently running game as status message” option. This will prevent Discord from showing your game activity in your status message.
If you want to take your privacy a step further, you can also disable the “Allow friends to see what game I’m playing” option. This will prevent your friends from seeing your game activity even if they click on your profile. However, it’s important to note that this setting will also prevent you from seeing your friends’ game activity. If you want to be able to see your friends’ game activity, but you don’t want them to see yours, you can simply uncheck the “Display currently running game as status message” option.
Set Your Game Activity to “Invisible”
To set your game activity to “Invisible,” follow these steps:
- Open the Discord app on your computer.
- Click on the “User Settings” icon (the gear icon) in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
- In the “User Settings” menu, select the “Game Activity” tab.
- Under the “Display currently running game as your status” heading, select the “Invisible” option.
- Click the “Save” button at the bottom of the page.
Advanced Options for Game Activity
In addition to the basic settings described above, Discord offers several advanced options for customizing your game activity:
-
Exclude specific games: You can choose to exclude certain games from being displayed in your activity. To do this, click the "Add" button next to the "Excluded Games" field and select the games you want to hide.
-
Display timestamps: You can choose to display timestamps next to your game activity. This can be useful for tracking how long you’ve been playing a particular game. To enable timestamps, check the "Display timestamps" checkbox.
-
Customizing the game activity message: You can customize the message that appears next to your game activity. This message can be up to 128 characters long. To customize the message, click the "Edit" button next to the "Game Activity Message" field and enter the desired message.
Here’s a table summarizing the advanced game activity options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Excluded Games | Exclude specific games from being displayed in your activity. |
| Display timestamps | Display timestamps next to your game activity. |
| Customizing the game activity message | Customize the message that appears next to your game activity. |
