How To Change The "Now Playing" Status On Discord

Let's show you how to change your playing status on Discord.
In this video, I walk you through the steps of how to change the "Now Playing" status on Discord. As of right now (2022) this can only be done on the PC version of the app and I show you the steps. Though it cannot technically be done on the mobile version I show you a work around that you can use on your iPhone or Android phone.
I hope this video helped solve your problem. App still not working? If so, drop your question in a comment below!

[@TrevorNace]

Did this work for you?
Yes? 😁 Give me a shoutout in the comments!
No? 😥 Leave a comment with your issue and we'll figure it out together.

If you use a Samsung, linking your discord to the game launcher that can be enabled from *Settings > Advanced Features > Game Launcher* allows you to show the games you play on your phone without discord being open. The only downside to this is that you can't force it to detect non-game applications like internet browsers or utility software

[@apexhalo8903]

Can you give me the link to the Game launcher app? Theres so many i can’t find it

[@dylan3975]

@@apexhalo8903 I think it's called game box

[@ashishsharmarapper2196]

Can you please tell me the solution for the pop up comes in discord in mobile - saying (done reading' check up) and blocks the area of typing and we can't type anything, we have to click on that pop up and we sent to the other unwanted channel for reading📖, I m enable to type, I can't click on typing area because it's covered with that pop up which we have to click everytime we try to type anything in that channel ,which is irritating😖😫

[@treyori9686]

It means you don't have perms to talk in that channel
