You may have seen the invisible status on Discord and wondered what it meant. In this article, we are going to explain how the invisible status works and what it means to have it activated on Discord.
What is Invisible Status On Discord?
Being invisible on Discord means that you are appearing offline to others. You can still access Discord and chat with people however it will appear to everyone on servers and your friend list that you are offline.
You may have previously had someone messaging you but their status stated they were offline. In that situation, it is likely that the person was using the Invisible status as they did not want to be bothered.
When you’re in invisible mode on Discord your icon will appear as a grey circle looking like you are offline.
How To Enable Invisible Mode On Discord Desktop
- Open Discord on your browser or desktop
- Navigate to your profile image in the bottom left corner and click on it
- Here you can select the invisible status
- Once you have selected invisible status your little icon beside your profile image will change to a small grey circle, looking like you are offline.
You are now Invisible on Discord.
How To Appear Invisible For A Specific Amount Of Time
If you are like me and are quite forgetful, you may forget to change your status back. This will mean people will always see you as offline. If you don’t want this to happen you can set a specific time to be invisible for using a custom status.
Follow the below steps to create a custom status in Discord:
- Open the Discord app
- Click on your profile picture in the bottom left-hand corner
- Click on “Set A Custom Status”
- Here you can add a custom message letting people know your status. You can also set a time for the status to “Clear”. Once this time runs out it will revert back to the default. In the status section set it to invisible to appear offline.
You will now appear offline for a set amount of time.
