Whenever someone pings you in Discord, you know that they either want to ask you a question or draw your attention to something. If you can see your screen at the time, you’ll notice a ping notification. But what happens if you receive pings when you’re away from your screen? Don’t worry, because Discord will accumulate all pings sent to you within the last seven days for quick access when you return.

This article will show you how to bring up a list of your recent pings using various devices.

How to Check Who Pinged You on Discord on a Windows PC

When you’re active in Discord, you’ll instantly know whenever someone tries to grab your attention. However, Discord provides quick access to all your pings within the last seven days if you were away at the time. Here’s how to see who’s pinged you via your PC:

1. Open Discord by navigating to Discord.com or via the desktop app, then sign in to your account.
   
2. Go to your home page or any Discord server.
   
3. At the top-right, click on the “@” sign icon. It’s next to the question mark icon. The “Recent Mentions” pane will open.
   
4. Here you can decide who you want to see pings from. To view those from the server you’re on, choose “This Server.” For multiple servers, select “All Servers.”
5. Click the drop-down menu on the far right labeled “Display.” Use the filter checkboxes to “Include @everyone mentions,” “Include @role mentions,” or both.
   

Your recent pings will display according to the filtering options you choose.

2. Log in to your account, then go to your home page or any server.
   
3. Next to the question mark at the far top-right, click on the “box” sign icon. The “Recent Mentions” pane will open.

5. Open the drop-down menu on the right labeled “Display.” To be more specific, check the appropriate checkbox to “Include @everyone mentions,” “Include @role mentions,” or both to see everything.
   

Your recent pings will be listed in the pane.

Additional FAQs

How do I turn off all Discord notifications?

Follow these steps to mute all your Discord notifications.

1. Sign in to your Discord account.

2. Click on the cogwheel icon at the bottom-left to access “User Settings.”

3. On the left, there will be a panel with different settings options. From “App Settings,” choose “Notifications.”

4. Disable “Desktop Notifications” to stop seeing Discord’s pop-up notification at the bottom right. This will also disable “Taskbar Flashing.” (However, this does not stop the sound notification for messages and other features.)

5. If you continue to scroll down on the “User Settings” page, you’ll come across a list of all possible sound notifications that you can turn off.

6. Ensure the “Message” option is disabled, which is the main offender for annoying notifications.

How do I mute specific servers?

If you often receive spam from specific servers, you can mute those servers instead of disabling all notifications. Here’s how:

1. Sign in to your Discord account.

2. Right-click the server icon from your server list on the left.

3. Select “Notification Settings.”

4. Disable the “Mute (Server Name)” option. This setting completely and permanently mutes the server until you re-enable it.

How do I mute specific text channels?

Follow these steps to mute a text channel:

1. Once signed in to your Discord account, enter a server name.

2. Right-click a text channel, then select the “Notification Settings.”

3. Select whether you wish to use the server’s default notification setting or swap to all message notifications, @mentions only, or no notifications.

How do I customize notifications via Windows

If the options available in Discord’s “Settings” menu don’t satisfy your requirements, additional calibrations are available in Windows:

1. Access the “Start” menu, then select “Settings.”

2. In “Settings,” choose “System.”

3. From the left-side panel, choose “Notifications & actions.”

4. Locate “Discord” through the applications list.

5. Click on the “Discord” toggle to block all notifications.

From now on, all your Discord notifications will be blocked by Windows.

Catch Up With All Your Attention Seekers

Discord has a massive community, with over 140 million monthly active users. The easiest way to get someone’s attention is by using the @mention feature. Whenever someone @mentions you, you’ll receive a ping to let you know. When you’re away from your screen or cannot respond to a ping straightaway, you can catch up with any unchecked pings later.

In “Recent Mentions,” you can view your pings within the last seven days either from the server you’re currently on, or all servers. You’ll then be able to drill down further to view pings sent with @everyone or @role mentions. Clicking on any message will take you to the server where the ping originated.
