How to put a link on your Discord profile

Add a link to your About Me

About Me is the short bio on your Discord profile, the text people read when they open your profile from a server or a DM. Discord lets it hold Markdown and links, so an address you paste there opens straight from your profile.

1. 1Select the cogwheel at the bottom left of Discord to open User Settings.
2. 2Open the Profiles tab.
3. 3In About Me, write your line and paste the full address, starting with https://.
4. 4Select View Full Profile in the preview to see how it reads, then save your changes.

On a phone, tap your avatar at the bottom right, then Edit Profile, and scroll to About Me.

Make 190 characters count

Discord's limit for About Me is 190 characters, and it counts everything: emoji, Markdown and the link itself. A long store address with tracking codes can eat half of it before you have said a word about yourself.

One short address fixes that. Put a single page in About Me and spend the rest on who you are and why someone should care:

• Map maker and world builder. Commissions open: https://noiz.bio/yourname
• Streaming ranked most nights. Schedule, clips and socials: https://noiz.bio/yourname
• Producer. New EP out Friday, listen here: https://noiz.bio/yourname

There is a quieter benefit too. When your release, your store or your schedule changes, you update the page and your Discord profile stays right, in every server you are in, without you touching it.

Show your other accounts with Connections

Connections are Discord's own way to show where else you are. Link an account and it appears on your profile with the service's icon, and because you signed in to that service to connect it, people can trust it is really yours.

1. 1Open User Settings and choose Connections.
2. 2Select the service you want, using View More to see all of them, and sign in to it.
3. 3Discord confirms the account is connected, and it appears on your profile.

Each connection has a Display on profile switch. Discord shows most connections by default, but keeps the ones that tend to carry your real name, such as Facebook and Spotify, hidden until you turn them on. Some, like Steam, can also show extra details if you turn on Display details on profile.

Connections only cover the services Discord supports. Your shop, your portfolio, your tour dates and your own site are not among them, and that is the job of the link in About Me.

Bring Discord onto your page, too

The link works best in both directions: your Discord profile points to your page, and your page shows your Discord. On Noiz that can be three things, each with its own switch:

• Your Discord handle, picture and badges on your card, once you connect Discord.
• A live status dot with what you are playing, streaming or listening to. It stays off until you switch it on, and it needs you in the Noiz Discord server, because Discord only shares your status with a bot in a server you are in.
• A server card with your server's icon, its member counts when Discord provides them, and a Join button.

Connecting Discord walks through each switch. For the server card, use an invite set never to expire, so the Join button still works long after you made it.

When you paste your Noiz address into a Discord chat, Discord draws a preview card from your preview image, or your avatar if you have not set one. Discord's fetch for that card is not counted as a visit, so your analytics stay about people.
