To change your status on Discord on your computer, you need to be logged in to your account on the Web or desktop Discord client for Windows/Mac. Proceed by following the below steps.

Idle – if you switch to this status, it will let other people know that you’re away and not available to engage with them. Do Not Disturb – this status notifies people that you’re currently focusing on something else and do not wish to be disturbed. Selecting this option also automatically mutes notifications.
