How to Change Your Nickname on a Discord Server

Discord’s nickname function allows you to create a distinct pseudonym for yourself that you may use in any Discord server that you join and participate in. As a result, you may be referred to as “Mahesh” on one server and “Harry” on another, depending on the server. Here’s how to do it in Discord on both the desktop and mobile platforms, including screenshots.

Names have a way of sticking with us in real life, even if we don’t really like them at the time. In contrast, on Discord, nicknames are a decision that users may make as part of the various customization choices available to them for their experience on the site.

It is possible to modify your moniker on Discord, if you are interested in learning how (you can also change your username if you want to use the same name across multiple servers).
