Retrieving a Discord ID this way does not require "Developer Mode"

Retrieving a Discord User

  1. Inside any chat window that the other user has also access to, mention them in a message, but do not send the message yet.
    Mention Discord User
  2. Next, add a \ right before the @ (ensure there are no spaces in between).
    Escaped Discord User Mention
  3. When posting the message, it will have the following form: <@[Discord User ID]>

Discord ID example

The @ will have an exclamation mark ! next to it if the Discord user is using a nickname. Ignore <, @, ! and >, and only copy the numbers within. This is the Discord ID of the user.
