Discord is a large platform that allows you to create groups, message others, and keep in touch with your friends. You can use it to chat with people with text messaging, voice, and even video calls. It is a very versatile piece of software that can be used on mobile or computer. If you’re looking to keep your gaming activity private from your friends and people on a Discord server, we’ll show you how to disable it in this guide.
This guide was updated in July 2022 due to Discord changing how their options are displayed!
Discord Game Activity
To hide your game activity on Discord, you will need to go to your User Settings and then to Activity Privacy. Once you are on the page, you can just uncheck the marker labeled as Display current activity as a status message to disable showing your game activity!
The User Settings can be found at the bottom of Discord next to your username. Just click on the Gear button and you will open up the User Settings window.
On the left will be a sidebar with all of the available options. Scroll down until you reach the area labeled, Activity Privacy. Look for the heading under Activity Status. Make sure the option near “Display current activity as a status message” is greyed out and not checked. If it is checked, click it to disable this option.
Mobile
Discord will not show what game you’re playing when you are using the mobile app, however, it will display if you are attending a public Stage. You can disable this in the exact same way as you would on the PC, it just serves a slightly different function.
That is everything you need to know about how to hide game activity with Discord. Check out the Discord section of our website for more useful information about the messaging software!
does not work on windows 10 latest everything. Game still shows
I use Windows 10 and it seems to be working fine, not sure what to tell you.
“Discord will not show what game you’re playing when you are using the mobile app, however, it will display if you are attending a public Stage.” yeah that’s not true, literally all my friends see what mobile games I’m playing
I tried testing this and my mobile game status wasn’t showing. I’ve also never seen a mobile game show up for someone else. What device are you using?
I do not have the feature where i can just not have them know i am on a game help please
Follow the instructions!
Your instructions are wrong though…..
They’ve been corrected, apparently Discord changed the location again. I didn’t think that they would.
The instructions are incorrect. Go to settings, then scroll down to “Activity Privacy” on the left and uncheck the first option.

Does it hide it from friends?
I believe so.
Thanks!
No problem!
the option are different than what you’re showing here. https://i.imgur.com/uivJsNq.png that is what the options show… not whatever screenshot you linked here.
It has been fixed now, thanks!
does it show on dm ?
This thing don’t work
It does work, but okay.
it doesn’t work
It does work. Maybe you’re referring to it showing your game activity under your username? It might show it there but it doesn’t show in servers.
It still shows what you’re playing so it’s pointless …
It’s not pointless, if it functions for servers which some people might want.
it used to work, it doesn’t anymore. This is what activity status options on discord looks like now. https://i.imgur.com/eVsKoPc.png
Fixed now, sorry about that.
