Receiving @mentions on Discord can be both a privilege and a hassle. The most notable mention of the latter is that of @everyone. @everyone can be used as a great reminder or @mention update when received from time to time. However, it can also be abused by those who thrive on negative attention and childish antics. You also can set your channel to ‘Read Only’,’ or you can follow the steps below to eliminate at least some of the hassle.
It would be beneficial to know how to disable it to save your Discord family from a constant barrage of useless and potentially infuriating @everyone notifications from random users.
This article will teach you how to do just that. If you are the server owner or have administrator permissions, continue reading to learn how to disable @everyone on a single Discord channel, as well as how to disable it for the entire server.
Disable @everyone from a channel
As is the case with most things on Discord, disabling @everyone for a single channel is incredibly easy. To get started, you’ll need to log into Discord and click on the server where you want to disable @mention.
If everything is ready:
- Right click on the channel name to open the pop-up menu. Make sure to only select the channel where you want to disable @everyone.
- Click on Edit channel.
- From the left menu, navigate to the Permissions eyelash.
- In the main window below Advanced permissionsfrom the list of Rolesmake sure you have @all highlighted.
- Scroll down the list until you find the Text channel permissions p. Toggle the mention everyone option by clicking x along with mentioning @todos.
- At the bottom of the window, a dialog box will appear. Click on Save Changes to confirm the new settings.
If you want to disable @everyone for additional roles, you will need to follow this procedure again and highlight those specific roles.
Disable @everyone from the server
To disable @everyone for each channel on your Discord server, you will need to go into the Server Settings menu. To get there:
- Left click on the server name and choose Server configuration of the options listed.
- Navigate down to the Roles left menu tab.
- Click on Default permissions.
- Make sure that @all The role is selected on the left side and scrolled down to the Text channel permissions p.
- Toggle the Mention @everyone disabled.
- A pop-up window will appear at the bottom of the screen. Click on the button that says Save Changes.
Similarly, if you have other roles that you want to disable @all for, highlight the appropriate role from the Roles/Members list and disable them all one by one until you are satisfied.
Repressing @everyone
Although you may have prevented certain roles from using the @everyone mention, you’ll still likely receive annoying notifications every time someone tries to use it. You can enable this in case someone mentions something worth investigating, but you can also disable it entirely.
To delete @everyone per server:
- Right click on your server name and this time choose Notification settings.
- From the Server Notification Settings window, make sure @mentions only The option is checked.
- A little further down, change the delete @everyone and @here option to activate.
- Click on the Made when you have finished making the changes.
When making this decision, you will not have to confirm it with a save button. It’s automatic. As with any other decision we’ve discussed, if you want to go back to the previous settings, simply disable them.
There you go. There will be no more @everyone mentions and no more notifications when someone tries to use it. You also disabled notifications for @here. While @everyone mentions go directly to all users on the server, regardless of whether they are logged in or offline, @here is directed only to those who are currently logged in. It can be just as annoying as @everyone, so you’re really just killing two birds with one stone.
Non-administrative options

You can also mute the channel for a while using the option just above the notification settings.
If you want to leave the channel, simply click the down arrow to the right of the server name at the top. Click Log out of the server in the dropdown menu.

- Click the drop-down arrow at the top of Discord (to the right of the server name).
