Discord has grown to be the most popular audio-centric social media platform of our modern age. The service allows you to host custom servers which can then be used to create specific channels and integrate bots for certain communities depending on their needs and requirements.

Discord also allows you to quote every message, server, and user within Discord which can be used to keep every message and element accounted for within Discord. If you have been looking to source one of these IDs within Discord, then you can use one of the guides below depending on your current needs and requirements. 

How to source user/message/server ID on Discord

First things first, you will need to enable Developer mode on Discord before you can source IDs be it for users, messages, or servers.

Developer mode allows you to access additional settings and features within Discord that will allow you to source IDs for different elements within Discord. Follow the guide below to get you started. 

On Desktop

Desktop users can use the guides below to source all the IDs. Let’s get started. 

Activate Developer Mode

Open Discord and click on the ‘Settings’ icon in the bottom left corner. 

Now click on ‘Advanced’ in the left sidebar. Turn on the toggle for Developer Mode on your right. 

And that’s it! Developer mode should now be enabled within Discord for your account. 

Source User ID

If you wish to source the User ID, then right-click on a username and select ‘Copy ID’. The username ID will now be copied to your clipboard and it can now be pasted in any compatible text field/document editor. 

Source Message ID

Similarly to the User ID, you need to right-click on the concerned message and select ‘Copy ID’. This will copy the Message-ID to your clipboard which will allow you to paste it virtually anywhere on your PC.
