Discord has become a popular platform for communication and collaboration among gamers, communities, and businesses. One of the features that users often encounter is the crown icon, which signifies server ownership or administrator privileges. However, not everyone may want to display this icon next to their name. In this comprehensive guide, I will walk you through the process of removing the crown icon on Discord, whether you’re using the desktop application, website, or the mobile app on Android and iOS devices.
What Does the Crown Icon Mean on Discord?
Before we delve into the removal process, it’s essential to understand the significance of the crown icon on Discord. The crown icon appears next to a user’s name when they are the owner of a server or have been granted administrator privileges. This symbol indicates that the user has the highest level of control and authority within the server, including the ability to manage channels, roles, and members. While the crown icon can be a source of pride for server owners and administrators, some users may prefer not to display it for personal or aesthetic reasons. Fortunately, Discord offers the flexibility to remove the crown icon, and I will guide you through the steps to do so.
Remove the Crown Icon On Discord (Desktop and Website)
Removing the Crown Icon on the Desktop Application
To remove the crown icon on Discord’s desktop application, you will need to access the server settings. Start by launching the Discord app on your computer and navigating to the server where you wish to remove the crown icon. Once you are in the server, click on the down arrow next to the server name to reveal a dropdown menu. From the menu, select “Server Settings” to access the server configuration options. Within the server settings, locate the “Roles” tab on the left-hand side and click on it to view the list of roles within the server. Find the role associated with the crown icon (usually named “Owner” or “Administrator”), and click on it to edit the role permissions. Once you are in the role settings, you can uncheck the “Display role members separately from online members” option to remove the crown icon from your name within the server. After making this change, the crown icon should no longer appear next to your username in the server member list or chat.
Removing the Crown Icon on the Discord Website
If you prefer to remove the crown icon using the Discord website, the process is straightforward. Start by visiting the Discord website and logging into your account. Once you are logged in, navigate to the server where you want to remove the crown icon. Click on the server name to access the server’s homepage, then locate and click on the “Settings” icon, which resembles a gear, usually located near the bottom of the server’s sidebar. This will open the server settings, where you should find the “Roles” tab on the left-hand side. Click on the “Roles” tab to view the list of roles within the server, and identify the role associated with the crown icon. Click on the role to edit its permissions, and uncheck the “Display role members separately from online members” option to remove the crown icon from your name within the server. Once you save the changes, the crown icon will no longer be displayed next to your username in the server.
Remove the Crown on Discord Mobile App (Android and iOS)
Removing the Crown Icon on the Discord Mobile App (Android)
If you use the Discord mobile app on an Android device and wish to remove the crown icon from your name, you can do so by following these steps. Start by opening the Discord app on your Android device and navigating to the server where you want to remove the crown icon. Once you are in the server, tap on the three horizontal lines in the top-left corner to open the server menu. From the menu, tap on the server name to access the server’s homepage. Next, tap on the three vertical dots in the top-right corner to reveal a dropdown menu, and then tap on “Settings” to access the server settings. Within the server settings, tap on “Roles” to view the list of roles within the server. Identify the role associated with the crown icon and tap on it to edit its permissions. Finally, uncheck the “Display role members separately from online members” option to remove the crown icon from your name within the server. Once you save the changes, the crown icon will no longer be visible next to your username in the server.
Removing the Crown Icon on the Discord Mobile App (iOS)
For iOS users who want to remove the crown icon from their name on the Discord mobile app, the process is similar to that of Android devices. Begin by opening the Discord app on your iOS device and navigating to the server where you wish to remove the crown icon. Once you are in the server, tap on the server name to access the server’s homepage. Next, tap on the gear icon in the top-right corner to access the server settings. Within the server settings, tap on “Roles” to view the list of roles within the server. Locate the role associated with the crown icon and tap on it to edit its permissions. Then, uncheck the “Display role members separately from online members” option to remove the crown icon from your name within the server. After saving the changes, the crown icon will no longer be displayed next to your username in the server.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I remove the crown icon without changing my role permissions?
Unfortunately, Discord does not currently offer a built-in feature that allows users to remove the crown icon without adjusting their role permissions. The display of the crown icon is tied to the role’s settings, specifically the option to “Display role members separately from online members.” Therefore, to remove the crown icon from your name, you will need to edit the role permissions as outlined in the previous sections.
Will other users be notified when I remove the crown icon?
No, removing the crown icon from your name in a Discord server is a personal preference and does not generate any notifications or alerts for other users. The change is purely cosmetic and will only affect the visual display of your username within the server.
Can I remove the crown icon from multiple servers at once?
Since the crown icon is tied to the role permissions within each individual server, you will need to repeat the removal process for each server where you wish to remove the crown icon. Discord does not currently offer a global setting to remove the crown icon across all servers simultaneously.
