How To Use Discord On Phone And PC At The Same Time

You can use Discord on phone and PC at the same time by simply logging into the same account on both devices, allowing you to seamlessly switch between them for messaging and calls. However, keep in mind that a single account cannot join the same voice channel simultaneously from both devices.

How to use Discord on phone and PC at the same time

Using Discord on both your phone and PC at the same time lets you stay connected whether you are at your desk or on the go. To get started, log into your Discord account on your computer through the desktop app or a browser, then open the Discord mobile app on your phone and log in with the same credentials.

On your PC, open the Discord desktop application or visit the web client in a modern browser like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Microsoft Edge, or Safari.
Enter your username and password to log in.
On your phone, open the Discord mobile app from your device’s app store.
Log in using the same username and password, or use the QR code login method by scanning the code displayed on your PC screen.

Once logged in on both devices, your account syncs automatically, giving you access to your conversations, servers, and settings across platforms.

What you can and can't do on two devices

You can send direct messages, participate in group chats, browse channels, and access community servers on both your phone and PC simultaneously. The mobile app supports voice and video calls, and the desktop app offers additional features like screen sharing and video streaming. However, a single Discord account cannot join the same voice channel from both devices at the same time. You can only be connected to a voice channel from one device at a time, ensuring clear and uninterrupted communication.

System requirements for phone and PC

For mobile devices, Discord supports iPhones and iPads running iOS 16.0 or higher, and Android devices with Android 7.0 or higher that ship with Google Play Services (Android 6 is no longer supported for updates). For PC, Discord offers desktop applications for Windows, macOS, and Linux, along with a web client accessible via modern browsers. Running Discord in a mobile browser is not officially supported.

Managing notifications across devices

You can customize notification settings on each device to avoid duplicate alerts and stay focused. On both the mobile app and desktop app, adjust your preferences to receive notifications for mentions, direct messages, or new messages in specific channels. This allows you to stay updated with important conversations without being overwhelmed by constant alerts. For fine-tuning your audio experience, you can adjust your Discord audio and sound settings separately on each device to suit your environment.
