How to Change Your Username and Nickname on Discord

You may be wondering how to change your username and nickname on Discord, right? Discord allows you to have a unique username that consists of a display name and a discriminator. For example, if your display name is “rameshreddy” and your discriminator is “7143,” your full Discord tag would be “rameshreddy#7143.” The discriminator is a 4-digit numeric tag that helps differentiate users with similar display names.

In addition to your unique username, you can also use server nicknames, which allow you to change how your name appears on individual servers. To set a server nickname, simply use the /nick command followed by your desired display name, such as /nick @rameshreddy71.

Steps to Change Username on Discord Desktop

To change your Discord username on desktop, follow these simple steps:

• Open the Discord app and locate the gear icon in the bottom-left corner to access the User Settings menu.

• Enter your new desired username, keeping in mind that special characters, spaces, underscores, and periods can be used.
