Discord is a popular communication platform where people connect through text, voice chat, and video calls in private chats or communities. Each of the Discord Servers has a capacity of 8000 members to accommodate. There can be a situation where a user wants to find someone to which you address or gain the attention of a particular user from this large number of the member’s list. In such scenarios, you can utilize the pinging functionality of Discord.

In this study, we will teach the procedure of pinging someone on Discord. So move ahead and get started!

How to Ping Someone on Discord?

Sometimes you want to communicate with particular users on the servers; you can ping them in the chat and gain their attention. Discord also permits you to both members and roles within a server. For instance, if you want to change your nickname on the server, you need a moderator, and the server may have multiple moderators. Instead of pinging separate moderators, tag the role of the moderator and send the required text.

Users can ping other people on Discord in two ways such as:

• Ping Using Someone Name/Nickname on Discord
