How do I get to game settings on Discord?

Answered by Frank Schwing

To access the game settings in Discord, you will need to follow a few simple steps. Here’s a detailed guide on how to do it:

1. Open Discord: Start by launching the Discord application on your computer or mobile device. Make sure you are logged in to your Discord account.

2. Navigate to User Settings: To access the settings, click on the gear icon located at the bottom left corner of the Discord window. This will open the User Settings menu.

3. Select Game activity: In the User Settings menu, you will see a list of options on the left-hand side. Look for the “Game activity” option and click on it. This will bring up the game settings on the right-hand side of the window.

4. Manually add the game or program: In the game settings menu, you can manually add the game or program you want to display as your status. Click on the “Add it!” button, and a menu will appear with a list of popular games and programs. However, if the game or program you want to add is not listed, you can type its name in the search bar and select it from the results.

5. Toggle the game status on: Once you have added the game or program, you can toggle the game status on or off by clicking on the switch next to it. When the switch is enabled (green), your friends or server members will be able to see that you are playing that specific game or using that program.

It’s worth noting that the game status feature in Discord is not available on mobile devices. However, if you have linked your Discord account with a gaming platform like Steam or Xbox, your game status will automatically update when you launch a game on that platform.

Accessing the game settings in Discord is a straightforward process. By following the steps mentioned above, you can manually add your favorite games or programs and toggle the game status on or off. This feature allows you to let others know what you’re playing and potentially find friends to join you in your gaming adventures.
