Discord has the option to change the Nick or nickname on a server , in this way we can show ourselves with a unique name and, on many occasions, it is necessary to do so. However, this will only change the name that other users see when we use the specific server, it does not change the original username of the account..
Discord is an application that allows us to join or create communities of thousands of people. It is widely used in the gaming community to keep in touch through messages or voice calls, it is even possible to stream or share the screen with our friends.
How to Change Nick on Discord
To change our Nick or nickname on a Discord server, we are going to have to open the Discord app or the web version . The process is the same in either version..
Once inside Discord, we will have to select the server in which we want to assign a new nickname.
At the top, next to the server name we can see an arrow pointing down, we click on it..
A new menu is displayed with several options, the one that interests us is the one that says “Edit server profile”.
On the “Server Profile” screen, we will have to click on “Nickname” and enter a new nickname for us. After this, we are going to have to save the changes by clicking “Save Changes” at the bottom.
And that would be all. In this way we have managed to change our nickname or Nick on a Discord server. All the members are going to see us with the new nickname.
Change the nickname on a Discord server from a mobile device
We start the application from our phone. In the left sidebar of the app, we will have to click on the server in which we want to change the Nick.
At the top, right next to the server name, we will notice three vertical dots, click on these.
It directs us to a new page, we will have to click on “Edit server profile”.
On this new page, we will have to click on the "Nickname" field and write the new nickname we want to have. Once we're done, simply tap on the save icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.
In this simple way, we will have a new name on a Discord server. All users will see you with this new nickname . However, if they write to you privately or want to see your profile, your original username will still appear.
Remember that changing the nickname or Nick only changes it visually on the specific server. Your username will remain the same as always.
