BetterDiscord Is Not an Official Discord Feature
Source-checked About 10 minutes
Answer
BetterDiscord is a third-party client modification, not an official Discord feature. Do not install it unless you understand security, privacy, and policy risks; use built-in options instead.
Prepare the exact task safely
Identify the desired appearance, accessibility, automation, or server function and check Discord's built-in settings and App Directory before considering unsupported client modification.
Review Discord's policy boundary
Read Discord's current terms and do not treat third-party plugins as supported.
Use Discord's built-in controls
Use Discord Appearance, Accessibility, and App Directory controls first.
Protect account credentials
Never paste a token, password, or authentication code into a plugin.
Verify the result before relying on it
Repeat the intended result in a harmless test and confirm this outcome: Never paste a token, password, or authentication code into a plugin. Compare the result with the original state and keep the change only when the task, permissions, output, or account remains correct.
Understand the limits and consequences
Third-party client modifications can break after updates, expose account data, violate Discord terms, and are not supported by Discord security or troubleshooting.
Use a reversible recovery path
If the result differs from the tutorial, undo only the most recent change when possible, preserve the original account, file, scene, project, or configuration, and compare the exact symptom with the linked Discord guidance before making a broader reset. Record the exact before-and-after state, product version, platform, and error so a later support request describes the tested change accurately.

If it does not work
- If BetterDiscord or another modification is already present and Discord is unstable, remove it using its publisher process, change exposed credentials if needed, and retest the official client.
