Turn Off Discord Notifications And Sounds

No longer want to receive those alerts when your discord is minimized? To disable or turn off sounds and notifications on Discord, follow instructions in this simple tutorial.

What's The Difference Between Everyone and Here Notifications?

In Discord, notifications can be triggered through the use of special mentions. The two commonly used mentions are @everyone and @here, and they serve different purposes:

@everyone:

When you mention @everyone, all members of the server will receive a notification, provided they have not muted the server or the specific channel where the mention was used.

It's generally used for important announcements that are relevant to all server members.

Using @everyone without a valid reason can be considered spammy and may annoy members, so it's usually best used sparingly and only for important messages.

@here:

When you mention @here, only the members who are currently online and not idle will receive a notification.

It's used for messages that are timely and relevant to members who are currently active.

Like @everyone, @here should also be used responsibly to prevent annoying members.

Conclusion

Both @everyone and @here mentions can be restricted so that only certain roles or administrators can use them. This is usually a good practice to prevent misuse of these mentions.
