How to Find your User ID on Discord

Users, channels, messages, and even Discord servers all have a unique ID number associated with them. These IDs are used, primarily by developers, to reference individual items in a Discord server, or the server itself.

There are other cases though where a non-developer might need to find one of these ID numbers. Thankfully, finding IDs, like User ID, is actually pretty easy in Discord. You just have to make sure you enable Developer mode first!

In this article, we’ll show you how to find user, message, and server IDs in Discord on both desktop and mobile.

How to Find your Discord User ID

To find your user ID in Discord, you first need to enable developer mode, and then simply right click / tap your name and select Copy ID. Here’s how to do that in more detail:

Desktop

1. Open Discord and sign into your account.
2. Enable Developer Mode by navigating to Advanced > Developer Mode in Discord’s settings. You can check out our other article on enabling Developer Mode if you’re unsure how to get there.
   
3. In any Discord server, click the Users icon in the upper right corner.
   
4. Find your username in the list of users, right click it, and then select Copy ID. You can also do this from chat if you can locate yourself there.
   
5. Paste (Ctrl+V) the ID anywhere, like a notepad, or even the Discord chat itself, to see your User ID.
   

Mobile

1. Open the Discord mobile app and sign into your account.
