If you want the easiest method to alter your nickname without going into more details of clicking and changing menu bar settings, then changing your Discord nickname through slash commands will be your go-to method. Here’s how you can change your Discord nickname with slash commands.
Type “/nick” into the message text box (including space) in the chat of that server you’re in, and then enter your choice of nickname to change it right away.
Also, remember that you can do this on any server you’re part of, depending upon that server’s settings and permission of specific servers. For example, you won’t be able to change your nickname on some servers where it is not allowed, so you won’t see the “change nickname” option when you right-click on that server.
Note: Moderators hold the power to change your nickname on their servers.
