You can now link World of Warcraft to Discord so that guild chat and a Discord channel stay in sync. Messages sent in WoW's guild chat appear in the linked Discord channel, and messages sent in Discord appear in game.
The feature arrived with WoW's Curse of Ula'tek content update for the Midnight expansion, and Discord explained it in an August 2026 blog post. This page covers what you need, how to link your accounts, how guild leaders connect a channel, and how to fix common problems.

Option 2: Link from inside WoW
According to Blizzard:
- Press Escape to open the Game Menu, then select Options.
- In the Social tab, select Enable Discord Functionality.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to connect and confirm your Discord account. You need to be logged in to Discord.
- Choose your Display Name setting (see below).
How Guild Leaders Link a Channel
The guild leader, or an officer with the right permissions, does this once for the whole guild:
- In WoW, press J to open Guild & Communities.
- Open the Roster tab.
- Select Guild Settings in the lower right.
- Under the Guild Control dropdown, choose Discord Settings.
- Select your Discord server, then pick a linkable channel from the dropdown.
- Select the link button and approve the connection.

Blizzard says guilds can also create a separate Discord chat channel inside WoW, instead of mixing Discord messages into regular guild chat.
Settings and Options
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Chat routing | Guilds choose whether Discord messages go into normal /guild chat or a dedicated /discord channel |
| Display Name | Choose how your name shows on Discord messages: Default, Last Online Character Name or Discord Global Name |
| Message labels | Messages that started in Discord show a Discord icon in game |
| Chat tabs | Players can adjust chat tabs to separate Discord and game messages |
Troubleshooting
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| The Discord option doesn't appear in Guild Settings | Make sure you're the guild leader or an officer with permission to change guild settings |
| No channels show in the dropdown | Check you have Manage Channels, View Channel and Send Messages in that Discord channel |
| Battle.net isn't in Connected Apps | Select View More to expand the list |
| Messages aren't syncing | Check your accounts are still linked in Connected Apps, and that the channel is still linked in Discord Settings |
| You can't confirm the link in game | Make sure you're logged in to Discord on the same device |
| Battle.net won't accept another Discord account | Battle.net allows only five different Discord accounts in a 30-day period |
