The easiest way to resolve the issue is to change your status in the app itself. Here’s how:
- Open Discord and select the User Settings cog icon located on the bottom left of the window.
- Under the App Settings, select the “Game Activity” tab.
- Click the X icon next to any game which is currently running.
- Next, from the Status menu, select one of the available statuses.
Disabling Rich Presence for Specific Games
If you still want to play certain games but don’t want your Discord status to change, here’s what you can do:
- Open Discord and select the User Settings cog icon located on the bottom left of the window.
- Under the App Settings, select the “Game Activity” tab.
- Check the “Disable Rich Presence for this game” box next to any game that’s currently running.
- Finally, select a different status from the menu located at the bottom.
That’s all you need to do to prevent Discord from displaying what you’re playing. If you have any questions or suggestions, please leave a comment below.
