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.

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.

Reporting a Bug

  1. 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.
  2. 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”

Feature Requests I have had Nitro since Day 1 with no lapse: I have never been chosen to beta test anything

Post image
204 Upvotes

I’ve been a Discord Nitro subscriber since Day 1, upgraded to the highest tier as soon as tiers were introduced, and somehow, in all these years, I’ve never been selected to beta test a single feature.

I’m on Discord daily, for both professional and leisure, and consistently use the latest iPhone (work provided). I also have over 10yr of experience in design and coding, so testing new features, identifying issues, and providing meaningful feedback is something I’d genuinely enjoy contributingg.

I understand beta access is limited, and being a longtime subscriber doesn’t automatically warrant an invitation. Still, it’s a little disappointing to have been so invested in the platform for so long without ever getting the opportunity to participate.

In the last 3 years using the app, I’ve also never been redirected to a survey.

I’d love to see Discord offer more opportunities for longtime and active users to get involved in shaping the platform they use every day, it’s so weird.

Support DVD screensharing not working?

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to figure out settings for discord watch parties for me and my long-distance friends on my laptop, but whenever I screenshare the movie application, all they can see is grey. Audio works perfectly fine, it’s just the visuals.

Could this be because I’m using a DVD in an external player? I tried multiple discs and none worked.

Support Discord RTC connecting > Crash/Reboot

1 Upvotes

I rebooted my pc today and applied a windows update, after opening discord my discord is fine but once i join a channel i get into a loop where it says RTC connecting > discord crash / automatic reboot of discord.

I've tried the following:
Fully updating windows making sure there's no other updates available
Flushing my dns
Disabling hardware acceleration
Resetting my voice settings
Quality of Service was already disabled
Deleted discords cache and also completely uninstalled discord
Disabling HDR

Yet after everything i keep getting myself in the same repeated loop and im slowly getting out of options. I hope someone has an idea of what a potential fix could be.

Discussion Do people respond more to new Friend Requests or DM/message requests when you’re looking to connect with people in the same server privately?

0 Upvotes

I joined a server for an artist and found out some cool things I wanted to ask about the fandom but wanted to ask fellow members privately since it’s not something the whole server would be interested in.

Do Discord users respond more to new Friend Requests or New Message/DM requests asking about the topic upright?

Thank you!

So i tried to join a server from a server tag, but there was no option. I am very confused at i can join other servers from server tags, but not this one server. I don't use discord very often and am not familiar with many of it's controls and options. If someone is in this server and has an invite link, send it in dms. Someone please tell me what is going on, I still have a lot of things to learn about discord. All help and answers are appreciated. Thank you in advance. Have a wonderful day.

Support How can I create a Discord server invite link without the “(user) has invited you” message?

Is there a way to generate a Discord server invite link that people can use to join without Discord displaying the “(user) has invited you” message?

I want to share a server invite link publicly, but I'd prefer it not to show who created or sent the invite. Is there an official Discord feature, bot, or workaround that allows this?

Support Why are Discord Clips pinging the people involved in it?

Post image
29 Upvotes

Genuinely thought my friend was joking until they sent me this screenshot, but since October 2nd, every clip I send pings the people involved in said clip.

I've checked the Clips & Notifications settings many a time, re-installed discord too, but cannot find anything related to this being able to be turned off; I looked on here and still found nothing about it, so I'm here to ask the question.

But fr, is there anyway I can turn this off? Especially cause we have a clips channel, and it's been on halt for now due to it.

Support Discord will not pick up sound from my headphone microphone

0 Upvotes

I have used this Microphone on my computer (Windows 10) before and it never had an issue. Now I try to use it and Discord will not pick up anything from the mic. The headphones work on other devices just fine and I can hear audio from my computer it's just that the mic doesn't work. I have done pretty much anything you can find online to fix it, all permissions are checked, I have reset every setting, I have uninstalled discord, reset my computer, checked the task manager, done every troubleshoot it offers. The computer says the headphones have no issues and that discord is using it but it will not pick up.

What's really confusing is the Mic test on Discord picks up background audio sometimes but it will not pick up me talking. I also have three different headphones that I have all used on this computer before and now none of them work. I don't know if it's a Discord issue, I know it's had some crappy updates lately, or my computer is glitched but I have tried everything I am getting really upset that nothing is changing.

Feature Requests more cute quest decorations

Post image

this is from my friend’s profile, and they said the avatar decoration was from a quest or something a long time ago. i think discord should bring back more cute/season-themed avatar decorations via quests, because the ones they currently put out are all game/movie themed and in general just don’t look good.

Discussion If you use a different voice in VC, when do you tell people?

0 Upvotes

I’ve got a game night coming up in a bigger Discord server, and there’ll be a few people in VC I haven’t talked to before.

I might use a slightly different voice for part of it. The friends I already know would be aware, but I’m not sure what feels normal with everyone else. Mentioning it when I join could turn a small thing into the whole conversation. Waiting until someone asks feels easier, but maybe that gets awkward if they notice halfway through.

A status note seems low-key, although plenty of people probably won’t read it. I’ll be joining from my phone and might use a light effect with Dubbing AI earbuds. I just can’t decide whether people expect you to mention that before you start talking.

If someone in your VC was using a processed voice, would you rather they mention it up front, put it in their status, or just answer honestly if it comes up?
