Discord Profile Widgets are customisable sections on your Profile Board, the part of your Discord profile where you show off your interests. Discord describes them as a way to "showcase your interests to other users."
Most widgets are about games. You can feature your favourite game, list what you're playing now, build a wishlist and, for some games, show live stats. This page explains every widget type, how to add and manage them, and who can see them.

You pick games from Discord's database. If a game is missing, Discord says it's "actively expanding" the list.
Game Stats Widgets
Game Stats widgets show real in-game stats on your profile. According to Discord, they currently work with games such as:
- Marvel Rivals
- Wuthering Waves
- Arknights: Endfield
When you add one, Discord asks you to link your game account. You may be sent to a web page to pick a character to display. After that, the widget updates automatically with your stats.

Managing Your Widgets
| Task | How to do it |
|---|---|
| Reorder widgets | Hold and drag a widget to a new spot |
| Remove one game | Hover over the game and select the Remove Game icon |
| Remove a whole widget | Open the widget's menu icon and select Remove Widget, then confirm |
You can feature the same game in more than one widget. For example, a game can be both your Favorite Game and in Currently Playing.
Who Can See Your Widgets?
Your widgets are visible to anyone who can view your Discord profile, including friends and people in mutual servers.
A few limits to know:
- You can't hide individual widgets from specific people. Visibility follows your general profile privacy.
- Widgets don't show on mobile, for you or anyone viewing your profile.
- Widgets don't update from your live activity. Except for Game Stats, they show lists you choose yourself. Your real-time playing status appears in the Activity tab instead.
To control who can see your profile and activity, see our Discord privacy settings guide.

| Can't add a second Favorite Game | You can only have one widget of each type |
| Game Stats widget not updating | Make sure your game account is linked |
| Friend can't see your widgets | They may be on mobile, which doesn't show widgets |
