Have you ever been so engrossed in Discord chats that you can’t concentrate on work or study?
In such cases, let’s use the notification mute feature!
By turning off notifications for channels or entire servers, you can enjoy Discord without disrupting your focus.
Types of Notification Mute
There are two types of notification mutes: channel mute and server mute.
1. Channel Mute
This is useful when you want to turn off notifications for a specific channel.
Muting a Single Channel
Open the channel you want to mute and simply click the bell icon at the top right!
Muting Multiple Channels
Select “Notification Settings” from the menu that appears when you click the server name. Under “Notification Overrides,” select the channels you want to mute.
2. Server Mute
This is useful when you want to turn off notifications for an entire server.
From the menu that appears when you click the server name, select “Notification Settings” and enable “Mute [Server Name],” or right-click the server icon and select “Mute Server.” This will turn off notifications for the entire server.
Important Notes
Even if you mute a server, mentions such as @username, @role, @everyone, and @here will still be notified.
While muted, a red dot will not appear next to the channel or server name even if there are unread messages.
Conclusion
By utilizing the notification mute feature, you can enjoy communication on Discord while maintaining your focus. Please try the mute method that suits you best.
