New Custom Activity

Plasma280

To whom it may concern.

I would please like to option to disable this new Custom Status Activity that gets automatically applied the moment you join a voice channel. (See Image01)

It disables the functionality for your friends to see what game you are currently playing. (See Image02 and Image03)

Also, it makes an annoying sound that one also cannot disable.  Even when I apply a custom status of my own, like just a full stop for example, my current game played is still not being showed.  The custom status does not carry over between quitting discord and opening it up again.  The default status gets applied again automatically.

Regards

    Privacy concerns aside, the decision to implement this new “experimental feature” (as Discord support refers to it as) without the ability to 

    A) disable the feature entirely

    B) configure it to not set a status upon joining a VC

    is an incredibly poor UX decision.

    Don't get me wrong, I absolutely understand the use in this feature to signal when you're away, and can see myself using it for those purposes. Why on earth does Discord think that having a VC full of people that are all “Chilling TBH” is a good idea?

    It seems that our feedback worked.  It has been removed.  Thank you for giving feedback everyone.  Also Thank You Discord for listening to our feedback.  Very much appreciated!
