How to Mute a User on Discord

This wikiHow will show you how to mute a user from a Discord guild. Muted users are unable to post or react to any messages.

Method 1
Method 1 of 2:

Via the Discord UI

  1. 1
    Right-click or tap and hold on the Discord user. This will bring up a context menu for actions that can be done on the user.
  2. 2
    Select Timeout [user] . This will open a menu box that allows you to set a mute duration.

  3. 3
    Set a duration for the timeout. Through the UI, timeouts can be set for 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day, and 1 week. Any other durations must be set by a bot.
  4. 4
    Enter a reason for the timeout. Unless if a bot is configured to send messages to timed out users when they are set, they will not see the reason, but the reason will be reported in the message log.
  5. 5
    Select Timeout . This will revoke the user's message perms. The user will be able to view, but not be able to react to any messages. A banner by the message input box will appear that says "You received a timeout in [guild name]".

Method 2
Method 2 of 2:

Via a Discord Bot

  1. 1
    Import a Discord bot. Popular options include MEE6, Carl-bot, YAGPDB, and Dyno. Make sure that moderation features are enabled.
  2. 2
    Try !mute or !timeout. Either of these commands has their own parameters. For example using !mute [user] [duration] [reason] might mute the user for the specified duration and notify the user of the reason for the mute.
  3. 3
    Code your own Discord bot. Bots on Discord can set a timeout duration of up to 28 days. Any longer is an indicator that they probably should be banned instead. A hacky workaround involves creating a dedicated mute role, though that has the disadvantage that everyone can see who is muted.
