Being \u201cIdle\u201d on Discord is nothing to worry about, and a common feature of many sites and chat-based apps like Slack, Google Chat, or Microsoft Teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This essentially just tells people that you\u2019re online, but have stepped away from your keyboard or haven\u2019t inputted a keystroke or mouse movement for between 5-10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no absolute fixed time, but it can happen any time after five minutes of inactivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll know if you or someone you\u2019re chatting with\/on your friend’s list is Idle as their activity symbol will be of a crescent (half) moon instead of the usual green circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also set yourself as \u201cIdle<\/strong>\u201d manually if you know you\u2019re not going to be around for a little while by clicking on your profile picture in the bottom left corner and selecting \u201cIdle<\/strong>\u201d from the available options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Discord mobile app, click on your profile picture in the bottom right-hand corner of the app, select \u201cSet Status<\/strong>\u201d and choose \u201cIdle<\/strong>\u201d from the list of options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
