How to Ping on Discord

Discord servers can accommodate about 8000 members, and that’s a lot. Sometimes you want to gain the attention of a particular user and for that purpose, people ping each other all the time on Discord.

Not just users, you can also ping specific roles in a server like you want the moderator to change your nickname in the server, and there may be multiple mods. So, instead of pinging individual mods, you can tag the moderator role, and every mod will understand you have some business with mods.

Now, you will get to know about the ways to ping in Discord.

Ping Using Name

You can easily ping any person or role by doing @[name of the person to ping/role to be pinged]. If multiple people have the same name, then a list will drop down and select the right person.

You can use this method to ping people with a nickname. As you know, Discord allows you to keep nicknames on different servers, and you can ping someone using their nickname only on that respective server.

Ping Using the Player Tag

Each player has a unique name tag combination in Discord. Two people can have the same name, same nickname, same player tag but not the same name and tag both. You can find the player tag right next to your name like XYZ#1234 (#1234 is the player tag).

In servers with more than 1000 members, it can be difficult to ping someone using their name (Discord glitch). So, tag someone on large servers. Use @[player tag, and tag the person successfully.

There is a bonus feature for mobile users. You can also ping anyone by clicking on that player’s name and hit enter. But to ping using this method, that person should have sent a text in that channel.

Remember, do not ping roles unnecessary because many servers ban/kick/mute people when they ping an authority for a stupid reason. The same thing applies to people too. No one likes unwanted pings.

Conclusion

So, this is how you can easily ping in Discord without having any trouble. But always remember one thing that if someone’s status is set to Do Not Disturb, you cannot ping that person. Please make sure you check our official website to learn different tips and tricks of Discord.
