Find out how you can locate your unique Discord ID or user ID with these easy step-by-step instructions.
Discord is the most popular platform where users can send and receive text messages, do voice chats and video calls, and much more. It has grown rapidly in the past few years, especially among the gaming community.
Your friends can easily add you to Discord so that you can chat with one another. To do this, they need to know your Discord tag which is comprised of your username and the Discord ID, such as username#0000.
Apart from the tag, every Discord user has a unique ID that is comprised of numerical characters. This ID differentiates users from one another and is used by Discord to identify users. The Discord ID also appears in the activity logs.
If you’re trying to find your Discord ID, it can be a difficult process because you have to enable Developer Mode before you can view it. In this article, we’ll take you through the steps required to locate your user ID.
