Discord Rich Presence not working

Discord Rich Presence requires the Discord desktop app to be installed and running.

Here are some things to check for to fix the most common problems.

1. Discord privacy settings

Check your Discord settings and make sure that your activity is set to be shared with others.

2. Administrator issues

Rich Presence will not work if Discord is installed as Administrator. If you see a User Account Control prompt (pictured below) every time you start Discord, then you have it installed as Administrator.

To fix this, just reinstall Discord.

3. Multiple conflicting clients

Discord Rich Presence will only properly work with one Discord client. Ensure you only have one open and running.

Still not working?

If Discord Rich Presence still is not working, then please open an issue on GitHub.
