Discord will make Discoverable Server messages searchable on Google
Original title: Discord to Make Discoverable Public Server Messages Searchable on Google
Server web pages start November 16, 2026; individual messages follow in mid-December, and older histories stay unpublished.
Discord said on October 27 that selected messages from Discoverable Servers will be indexed by Google and other search engines. Eligible communities need at least 1,000 members, eight weeks of age, and activity and safety compliance; Discord says more than 63,000 servers qualify. Private servers, direct messages, and group messages are excluded. An account privacy switch is on by default in most regions and off by default in several countries, and teen accounts cannot use the feature. Discord describes this as planned publishing, not a breach.
- Automated channel summaries can cover discussions from November 16 onward.
- Usernames and avatars are hidden; messages initially appear as text.
- The opt-out is off by default in the EU/EEA, UK, Canada, Brazil, Australia, and South Korea.
- Messages sent while the switch was on can still appear unless deleted.
- Moderators can exclude channels or leave Discovery under Web Presence settings.
