How to find your unique Discord ID?

Did you know that every Discord user, message, and server has a unique ID? Your Discord ID is an 18-digit number linked to your account, and it’s essential for various troubleshooting and bot integrations. To find your Discord ID, you’ll first need to enable Developer Mode. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to easily access your Discord ID and make the most of your Discord experience.

Discord offers plenty of ways to personalize your account. You can change your username or nickname to whatever you like — it doesn’t even have to be unique!

However, one part of your account that must be unique is your Discord ID. This 18-digit number is linked to your account and serves as a unique identifier. It’s not just users who have Discord IDs — every message and server has one too.

Reachy needs your Discord ID to notify you privately at each step of the processing he performs. By providing your Discord ID, you’ll ensure that Reachy can keep you updated with personalized notifications.

To get started, you’ll need to enable Discord’s Developer Mode. This mode unlocks additional features, including the ability to view IDs.

💡 Pro Tip: Once you enable Developer Mode in one place, it will be activated for your entire account.

Here’s how to turn on Developer Mode on the website or desktop app:

  1. Click the gear icon in the bottom-left corner (next to your name), then select Advanced from the left sidebar.
  2. On the page that appears, toggle on Developer Mode at the top.

Once Developer Mode is enabled, finding Discord IDs becomes a breeze.

  • To find a user’s Discord ID (including your own), simply right-click their profile picture and select Copy ID.
  • To find a message’s ID, right-click the message itself and choose Copy ID.
  • To find a server’s ID, right-click the server icon in the left sidebar and click Copy ID.

This will copy the 18-digit ID to your computer’s clipboard. Simply paste it into the Reachy Configuration Panel under the "Discord Integration" section. You can add as many user IDs as needed to share Reachy notifications with your teammates.

To receive processing notifications directly from Reachy, you can join the Reachy Discord group by clicking on the following link: https://discord.gg/fct6xEcrKQ. Once you’ve joined, you’ll be able to view all your processing notifications in the #notification channel.
