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:
- Open Discord by navigating to Discord.com or via the desktop app, then sign in to your account.
- Go to your home page or any Discord server.
- At the top-right, click on the “@” sign icon. It’s next to the question mark icon. The “Recent Mentions” pane will open.
- 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.”
- 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. 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.”

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.

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.
