A Guide to Discord/User Status

The user status consists of seven settings to serve as notification settings. They can be updated by clicking on your profile picture in the bottom-left corner.

Online
Online is the default status. You will receive notifications, use Discord normally, and show up in the member list normally.

Idle
The Idle status is set automatically if there is no mouse movement or typing for 10 minutes while online. It also hides the users current non-game activity, such as Spotify. The status will return to online if activity in the window resumes, unless it was set manually. The Idle status performs the same way as Online Status.

Do Not Disturb
Do Not Disturb disables all desktop and push notifications, even from mentions.

Streaming
The Streaming status can only be set when streaming on an account connected to your Discord account. It performs the same way as Do Not Disturb.

Invisible
Invisible lets you use Discord normally while appearing offline.

Offline
Applied to your account as soon as you lose connection.

Phone
A green phone icon replaces the standard Online icon for mobile users.

Custom
The custom status lets you display a message on your profile. You can add one emoji before the text, and add custom emojis if you have Nitro. There is a 128 character limit. There is an option to make the message expire after a certain period of time, ranging from 30 minutes to 24 hours.
