It is one of the fashionable applications when it comes to being able to communicate with other people, being used to a great extent by many gaming players. Discord becomes a social network, in which we can add users and over time give a role if it is one of our trusted people.
It often happens that you have multiple servers on Discord and use a name in each of them, for example using the nick or alias for it. Discord allows you to create a server and with it your own channels, where you can interact as long as you are inside with permission from the administrator.
We are going to show you how to change name on discord easily, being able to use one of them in the main server or in one of the ones created later. The alias change can be done as many times as you want, so there is no limitation, in case you want to change it again later.
Is the name important in Discord?
Having a suitable name is important, at least as they know you when playing that favorite game that you usually get used to every day. If you create a server, remember to give way to all those who want to access and be inside, that will give life to the different channels that you create.
Currently you have at your disposal name generators for Discord, so if you don't like the one you always use and decide to change it, you can do it. Each generator usually gives good ideas, so if you decide to look for one, it is best that you can use this function.
Both in the web service and in the application you can change the name of Discord, either accessing from the mobile phone, from a computer or from another device. The change will take effect after a few seconds, so it will be visible once you have changed it.
Change the name from the web service
It is one of several ways to access Discord, not having to download the official application on your computer, phone or tablet. The web service of the platform makes its way, but first you have to enter the corresponding data for it, username and password.
The change of nickname will make it possible for them to find you quickly, so choose the one you have used and the one you are known by in the video game. There are many who usually look after a game to that friend and they can't be found for using another alias on Discord.
To change the alias in Discord from the web service, Do the following:
- Opens page Discord and log in with your username and password
- Click on the tab that says “Open Discord”
- Select the server on the left where you want to change your name
- Click the arrow next to the server name
- Click on “Edit server profile”
- Change the name in the "Nickname" field, it is placed in "Server Profile"
- Save the changes and that's it, it will update after a few seconds
If you decide not to download the application, it is the fastest way, the process will be identical if you use the application on PC, downloadable on the official page. It is available on Windows, Mac Os and Linux, three of the systems where it is found and it downloads quickly with an ADSL/Cable connection.
Change nickname in the app
If you often use the Discord app on your device, it is best to do it from it, it is just as fast as doing it in the web service. Remember that by the nickname they will be able to find you quickly, if you tend to change it often you can confuse your Discord contacts a lot.

Change profile name on Discord
Another way to have same profile name as the nickname happens to change you in Discord, for this you have to access the application settings. The two work in a similar way, both in the web service and the application, so you can apply it in either of them.
The username is chosen initially, but you can correct it if you think it is not appropriate or you have missed a letter, as was our case. The name will be the one that appears on the servers as the main, so you can't change this much if you don't want to confuse your followers too much.
