How to Kick or Remove Someone from a Discord Channel

There are many reasons why you might want to kick or remove someone from a Discord channel you’re on. Whether the user is guilty of spamming you heavily, being a cyberbully, was rude or just simply annoying, you can decide to put him them off your radar for some time.

This post contains steps on how to kick or remove someone from Discord channels when you have to do it yourself, though it could be said that the onus lies on the server’s proprietors and administrators to maintain decorum on such chat platforms as Discord. There are quite a number of ways to kick or remove someone from a Discord channel, depending on what platform you’re operating from. Let’s jump in right away!

Removing users from a Discord Channel on Windows and MAC PCs

Whether you’re using a Windows or a Mac PC, the process is pretty much the same to remove a user from a Discord channel.

1. First, you’ll need to be registered on the server. Look to the right portion of your screen on the right and select the appropriate server from the list.
2. Whether it is a text or a voice channel, just below the server name you’ll see the list of channels in the main panel. Select the channel from which you want to remove a user.
3. The channel will have a list of current users on it. Locate the user you want to remove and right-click on his (or her) name. That will generate a pop-up menu with a number of actions for you to choose from. Alternatively, you can generate that same pop-up menu by right-clicking on the username in the chatbox.
4. Locate the “Kick username” option towards the bottom of the list and click on that. You’ll be asked to confirm your choice. Once you do, the user will be kicked out of that channel and would no longer be able to participate in, or join, the channel except if granted permission to rejoin the channel by someone who is authorized to do so, probably an admin. That’s how to kick a user from a Discord channel either on a Windows or MAC PC.

Removing a user from a Discord Channel on Mobile Devices

Again, whether you’re using an Android or iOS mobile device, the same rules apply when you want to remove or kick a user from a Discord channel for whatever reason.

1. Open the Discord application and log in with your details when prompted.
2. Once in, there’s a menu icon in the top left corner of your screen. Tap on that menu icon to expand the list of servers.
3. Locate the server currently accommodating the user you want to kick out or remove.
4. On that server, locate the channel from which you want to remove the user. It could either be a text channel or a voice channel, select the appropriate one.
5. Tap the “two-people” icon located in the top right corner of your screen to expand the list of members on the channel.
6. Locate the user you want to remove from the channel on the list and tap on him or her. This will draw up the user’s settings pane on your screen.
7. Tap on the “Kick” option and confirm your choice in the prompt that follows.
8. The user will be kicked off the channel and will only be able to gain access to the channel upon invitation.
