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.

Bug Megathread Bug Megathread vol 17 October + November 2026

2 Upvotes

Hey (at)everyone,

Thank you for all the bugs you all have reported! We read all the posts in the thread and we’re focusing our efforts on issues based on upvotes to ensure that we’re aligned with all of you.

As always, don't forget to check out our monthly patch notes for updates on all the changes we're working on. Our last patch notes addressed 100+ issues!

Thanks to your reports on Reddit, we fixed the following issues:

If we didn’t fix your issue, please make sure to upvote to help us prioritize 🙏

Now, with that, let’s kick off the October + November 2026 bug megathread!

Please note: This megathread is not a venue for feedback or customer support! We encourage you all to continue to make posts on the subreddit proper discussing our product and feature launches. I want to make sure that we really keep this thread productive and focused on reporting bugs and helping us prioritize them.

Please look through the list of comments and upvote bug reports which you think we should prioritize fixing. Comment as a reply to those top level comments with any more details that can assist our team in prioritizing and fixing the bug. For example, if you have additional info or steps to reproduce, please post a reply, this will help us fix these bugs even faster. If there is no post that discusses the bug you’re encountering, then start a new post in the thread to report the bug to us!

Reporting a Bug

The most valuable thing you can provide in a bug report is steps. If you’re able to provide steps to reproduce a high priority issue, it will dramatically improve turnaround time on a fix.
Screenshots or videos are also useful, especially if you can’t reliably reproduce it. We highly recommend editing them to not doxx yourself. Not only does it help contextualize the issue, but watching it occur can sometimes provide information that helps us identify and fix it.

Example Bug Report

Feature: Keybinds.
Reproduction Rate: 1 to 10 - This is a score of how easy/consistently the bug reproduces, from 1 meaning “very hard to reproduce” to 10 meaning “i can consistently make this happen”

Support Server tag visible on mobile but not on desktop, and not even selectable on either?

Self-explanatory title. I can see the server tag on mobile, but not on desktop. And I can't even select it on either. It still functions (at least, on my end) when tapped on as expected, though. Somehow not visible for anyone else at all?

Staff Reply Explanation about the disappearance of Bounties...

14 Upvotes

So this gives some insight about the disappearance of the Bounties section in Discord Quests. For people who cared about this.
I also asked them where can I see general updates about Bounties in my reply, no answer to that yet though.

That's me in the screenshot even if the name is censored, I had to censor it bc of the very strict subreddit rules. And let me know if this is not the correct flair so I can change.

Support Old possibly unclaimed account

2 Upvotes

Hi! I have had an account open for over a year, and I recently somehow managed to open another account with my email. I have the username of the old account, which I thought I claimed, but now I'm wondering if it's not because I can't access it just by opening Discord anymore. I know it still exists because it's in a server that my new account is also in. Is there any way to get it back?

Feature Requests Badges should be customizable beyond just "hide" or "show"

gallery

43 Upvotes

Now that I have access to the beta, I honestly was pretty disappointed to see I couldn't choose which badge to display of the ones that evolve on my profile. It feels like a perfect opportunity, given only Nitro members can adjust where badges appear on the profile anyway. Why not add another layer to said customization?

It'd be appreciated as someone who wants to display the emerald Nitro badge, and I'm sure some of the other badges like the evolving boost badge would see others select as well.

I want to buy Nitro but not through the Play Store. I tried opening a browser and doing it but it doesn't let me. I'm assuming I would have to find a PC and do it? GP is such a pain in the ass and I've had horrible support this month from Discord. Thanks in advance.

I’m a shut in who just wants to watch Netflix, hbomax, or Hulu with other people. All my friends are playing war dogs now so I’m wondering if there is a server where people just stream what they like to watch and people join and have watch parties.

Support Sudden camera lag while in-game potential fix?

1 Upvotes

Ever since this morning I noticed that my camera would start getting choppy whenever I started playing games, even though this didn't happen before. Whenever I alt-tabbed out of the game it stopped lagging. I tried turning hardware acceleration off and back on but nothing changed it. I tested this through the browser app as well and it didn't happen there

I don't know if this is something to preserve resources or something? But yeah, the way I fixed it was by not just disabling my activity privacy, but specifically disabling whatever game I'm playing at the moment (In the registered games menu). Even if the activity privacy thingy was set to off, the game name was still displayed above my name, and turning that off made my camera just... Not be all choppy

I hope it helps someone

Edit: turns it it WAS something to preserve resources, it was Game Mode in the settings!
Thank you, ItsTerriermon !

Support Showing invisible/offline when online

2 Upvotes

When I open discord it shows my friend is offline when she is online and vice versa. We check out status and we are online but it still shows. We have to close out the app and reopen it for it to go back to normal. Been happening for about a week now and I have no idea what could be the cause of it.

Support How to turn off friend's list sidebar

31 Upvotes

This just popped up and for some reason I can't get rid of it. The friends list is now permanent on the right side of the screen, and I can minimize it so I just see icons, but I can't get rid of it entirely.

This is super annoying, and cluttering my screen.

Support Discord suppresses all background audio while screensharing audio

2 Upvotes

Hey all,

I've been searching all around the internet trying to find a fix for this for quite a while and haven't found one. For context, I'm not a streamer or anything of that sort and only use screen sharing from time to time to give my mates the option to watch me play a game or watch a movie with me. I have the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 headphones, though I don't believe that would have anything to do with screen-sharing audio (correct me if I'm wrong). Anyway, no matter what I stream, whether it's a video game or a movie, the audio always has a muffled sound to it, like my computer is doing some sort of noise cancellation for the audio. You can hear the voices fine, though you can tell it's a little fuzzy, and a lot of the background noise or music is cut out to an extent, leading me to believe my computer/discord is doing some sort of noise-cancellation processing for the audio.

This is only a problem I have while sharing my screen; the audio is perfectly fine when it comes through my headphones. A temporary fix I have found is to route the audio through my microphone using a virtual audio cable so the audio plays through my mic instead of the stream, though that's extremely annoying for others in the call. It also means I can't talk while doing it.

I've tried many different methods outlined online to fix this. I've checked all of my Output and Input devices on my computer; there are no enhancements enabled on any of them. It isn't anything related to the server/channel the voice call is in; my mates who live in my area can stream without problem. While this isn't a major problem, it's extremely annoying when someone wants to watch my screen but ends up with noise-cancelled audio on it.

If there's anything I left out in this post that might help you narrow down what the issue is, feel free to ask. I can provide any information about the settings of my SteelSeries GG Sonar or Discord settings.

Any help would be appreciated.

Support Nitro Tier Reset - is it bugged?

0 Upvotes

I've been a Nitro subscriber for 5 years. Today, I noticed that my badge tier has been reset to 1 (I previously had the highest tier). Has anyone else encountered this bug?

Additionally, since then, I have been boosting a servers continuously. Over this entire period, I’ve only had two boost credits available once, and that situation lasted for maybe a day, or two at most. But my badge progress wasn't reset at that time.

- I have not changed my subscription plan.
- My payment method is valid and active.
- There are no outstanding payments or failed transactions on my account.

So I'm dealing with this problem on my servers where it'll specifically mute certain groups and I'm not sure why. Yes I do RP but here's an example. I talked to my other side and they said it wasn't muted. I thought it was one of the creators doing it because they don't care for my character that much...it's a long story but yeah. Any help??

SUBREDDIT RULES

Rule	Description
Full List of Rules	This rule list is a summary of consistent ones that pop up, so please check out the full rules list here.
1.1 Personal Attacks	Comments and posts that are intended to attack or insult other users are not allowed. It's okay to disagree with someone, but using ad hominem attacks instead of having an actual discussion is not acceptable.
1.2 Discrimination	Attacks based on gender, sexual orientation, disability, race, nationality, ancestry, or religion are prohibited. Civil discussion is permitted, but using these traits as weapons is not allowed.
1.3 Witch-Hunting	Spreading a negative campaign against a particular group of people or a specific individual by sharing their information with others is not allowed. This includes raiding servers/users. This also includes showing any visible username or display name, regardless of intent or location - they must be blocked out
1.4 Calls to Action	Any attempts to rally the community for a particular purpose, such as voting for a poll, promoting a boycott, seeking funding or support for a cause, or advertising a petition, will be removed as it is considered a "call to action". This also includes requests to find certain people. However, please note that polls or contests created specifically for the subreddit are allowed, provided that you have been given approval through modmail beforehand.
2.1 Low-effort Submissions	Moderators may remove content that is deemed as low-effort. This includes but is not limited to quality, memes, rants, screenshots lacking info/context, vague titles, & posts irrelevant to Discord. Full description
2.2 Safe For Work Content Only	Excessively violent or sexual content, including but not limited to death threats, explicit content, gore, or content that sexualizes or harasses other users is not allowed. However, discussing NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content is allowed as long as it is tagged appropriately and is relevant to the discussion.
2.3 Client Modifications	Client modifications such as Better Discord and BeautifulDiscord are not supported and are considered a violation of Discord's Terms of Service. Therefore, we do not discuss these matters on the subreddit. Third-party add-ons like these are not safe to use. Installing any third-party software that modifies the Discord client can create vulnerabilities that may expose you to malicious code or result in the loss of your account. It is highly recommended to avoid using such software to ensure the security of your Discord account.
3.1 Recently Posted Topics	Reposted topics are not allowed. Threads that focus on topics that have been discussed at high frequency, cover information from the same angle, or are covered in our FAQ pages may be removed. Please use the Reddit search bar, check /new, or the front page as this is a topic that has been largely posted/discussed recently.
3.2 Advertising/Self-Promotion	No advertising/self-promoting servers, selling/buying accounts, trading, or nitro begging. Server self-promotion will result in an immediate perm ban. Advertising personal bots/projects is allowed if it does not make up a notable portion of your account history.
3.3 Code Giveaways	We do not allow giveaways on this subreddit as they create spam and we cannot verify that all users receive their prizes (when required to enter). If you want to give away your code(s), please use this post.
3.4 Third-Party Bot Support	If you are having trouble with a third-party bot, we recommend you contact their support team. Try searching the bots name on Google as most bots have a support website or server. Some of the more popular ones are Dyno, Mee6, YAGPDB, & Carl-bot
4.1 Support and Appeals	This subreddit is not the appropriate place to raise appeals, complaints, or requests related to account or server enforcement or similar issues where the community cannot be of any help. If you are having an issue with Discord's product or need to contact them for any reason, please search their support knowledge base for answers, send a ticket to Discord’s support team, or use the search function here on the subreddit. If you've already sent a ticket, please be patient and wait for an answer. The support team often has a slow response time due to the number of open tickets.
4.2 User/Server Report	Discord removed the trust and safety option from dis.gd/report a while ago, so the only way to report content is by doing it on Discord directly. If you believe a user/server has violated ToS, please report them/it using these directions.
4.3 Bug Reporting or Feature Requests	Technical questions and issues other users may be able to assist with are allowed, but bug reports should be shared directly with Discord. You can use the Bug Megathread pinned to the front page or submit a bug report. Learn about bugs here for instructions! While feature requests and feedback inspire awesome discussions on the subreddit, we encourage sharing them with Discord directly via a Discord Feedback submission. Submitting there guarantees higher visibility from the people who can implement the suggestions.
5. Reddit rules	Reddit's content policy and terms of service must be followed at all times. Some of our other subreddit rules overlap with the site-wide rules, but such rules provide more information specific to r/discordapp to help you understand what kind of content is allowed. Please review proper Reddiquette before submitting.
