Don't default the custom status to "Chilling tbh" when joining a voice channel
I am not always “Chilling” when I join a voice channel. I don't want that status to be set, I did not ask for it, and I did not choose it. Having the option to set it is fine, but it should default to no status, not to a random one that clutters up the call UI even more. I think it's a neat gimmick, and I will likely use it from time to time, but please don't force us to use features like this. They should only ever be opt-in, not opt-out.

Discord this needs to have the option to disable this. Few may like it, most will think its annoying and pointless and adds to more clutter that isnt needed. Its irritating and i would like to be able to remove it please

This is the worst idea, and a violation of my privacy since people outside the server can see my status change as soon as I join a voice chat. There are people I don't mind seeing my status, but I don't need them to know the instant I start chatting in voice somewhere. This is similar to the problem I have with the mobile indicator – I don't need people to know I'm at home or out.
But Discord is proving day by day that they don't care about giving us control over our privacy or even safety.

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?

Please add an option to disable this option or to override the default status.

I just dont want it there and dont want to have to change it everytime i join my server voice channel

For the love of God please delete this ridiculous custom status thing. “Chilling tbh” is not something I would ever set as my status and I don't have any desire to have it set as my status on every server I'm in just because I joined a voice channel in one of them. Why does Discord not just remember the setting of no status every time I join a voice channel? How is that not the most sane default setting to have it set to no status? I literally want to throw up each time I go in a voice channel and see this Chilling tbh status.

This is absolutely ridiculous, this is just some “let's add some engagement”-business kind of thinking. To make this on by default and not just the first time and *without an option to disable it*, is an horrible choice.

I upvoted to have this feature changed / removed / disabled.

Discord, stop it with this stupid shit. NO ONE WANTS IT EXCEPT YOU.
Everyone in this channel I'm in right now has a stupid icon next to them that says Chilling. None of us are “Chilling”, we're all here for a reason we just don't have time for your nonsense. Cut it out.
Look, I shouldn't need to come back on here every three months to tell you *again* that the idea everyone hated three months ago is (checks notes) yup, still a bad idea.
With how hard you make it to sign in to this site, you should consider the amount of response here an absolutely huge backlash.9 -
That's not true. I had a friend message me yesterday linking to a screenshot of my “hang status” and asking me what it was. I was in the voice channel of a server that person was NOT in.

I also would love the option to disable this feature.
I don't mind that it exists, but it should not be on by default, and it should be made clear to the user that it displays your channel location before you turn it on.
And come on, it can't even be customized, it just forces a little of Discord's “personality” on to you in a way that just feels kind of gross. Like, don't put words in my mouth alright?6 -
Just received a message from a friend asking about my “Hang Status”, so there's also the concern that friends see this as clutter as well.

100%. Let us turn it off on a server level, and make it opt-in by server admins. Everybody hates this.
It's clutter. It's cringe. And frankly speaks very embarrassingly of management that they signed off on this. Demonstrates extremely poor UI/UX grasp and a strong misalignment between the branded image and their user base.

Discord should provide the option to disable this feature. While some users may find it enjoyable, the majority consider it unnecessary and burdensome, adding to the clutter. It's frustrating, and I'd appreciate the ability to opt out of it. leanhtien.net

It seems like I will have to retract the thank you message I posted before. The ACTIVITY STATUS is back again!
Why do we have to see it while hovering over a user's name in a voice channel? The user names are already in the right hand column where we can click to see more detail. It is extremely distracting when you want to go mute someone and all this pops up and you miss click and it does things you didn't expect. I agree with the above user that its ads clutter and it’s frustrating. STOP the BETA or give us the option to completely disable this feature please.

Absolutely despise when some new feature gets rolled out like this and it's just an annoyance with no way to turn it off. When someone is streaming and you try to hover over to click ‘Watch stream’ you instead hover over their activity status and literally have to finesse through the cracks to get to the button. Why do companies always do this? Please give us the option to turn this clutter off.
5 -
Seconded, this is an insane thing to force on everyone, I don't want everyone in every server I'm in to know anytime I'm in a voice call, it's an unbelievable invasion of privacy
I'm so sick of companies doing this, how hard is it to make weird new features optional, not everyone wants to be “chilling tbh”

What genius developer or product manager… thought putting a custom status on the right-side everyone's names is a genius idea? I struggle to watch a stream now as every time I mouse over it, the pop-out for watching a stream depops every time.
Probably top of the list of the worst design feature ever…4 -
Wow. An option to turn it on or off?! That'd be amazing.
3 -
Nth-ing a request to have an option to disable this entirely, its pointless and just causes clutter.

If discord could not have a challenge to themselves to make the ux worse every update that would be fantastic.

The new "status" feature, as its currently implemented, is immensely frustrating and feels like a violation of my autonomy and privacy. There's no way to turn it off, it lists my current location to people without my permission, it "puts words in my mouth" without my ability to prevent it (I would literally *never* say "chilling tbh", its horribly cringy).
==> Give us a way to permanently turn this feature off. <==
(And, for that matter, all new features should come with a way to turn them off out-of-the-box. If you're worried that everyone will just turn the new feature off, maybe you should take that as a hint, Discord?)

Joining the gang here, kill it with with fire, please.
Stop, please JUST STOP, shoving stuff that nobody ever asked for and by default to boot. It's starting to get that Adobe and MS Office vibe side of things, shuffling and adding useless stuff, bloating it and making it more difficult to use for absolutely no reason.
Maybe you meant well? ok, no problem, undo it. Thanks.

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!

Name one other service that forcefully changes your status everytime you join a channel… I’ll wait.
I can deal with the feature, if it doesn’t constantly change my status from what I’ve set it to or readd a status when I’ve cleared it. I’m assuming discord has no ux team, but if you do in fact have a ux team it’s probably worth firing them and finding a new one.
Also, what the previous person said about being impossible to login to this site… yeah I linked this article to like 10 people and no one succeeded at signing in. Fix your service and stop adding useless features that no one asked for, there are plenty of actual good ux improvements to be made to your software and yet you release trash like this time and time again.3 -
It makes me very uncomfortable for a status to be set for me automatically, and extremely uncomfortable that it shows this status to everyone online, regardless of whether or not I share a server with them. I do not want other people to know what I'm doing at any given moment unless I actively choose to show it. It should not automatically set a status upon joining a channel. Let people set their own status if they want to, do not set it for them.

This is another one of those idiotic features someone without any clue what users want came up with.
Didn't ask for it, don't want it.
3 -
Please remove this feature, or make it optional, or at least remember the last status : especially when set to ‘none’, logging back everybody and seeing this again is nerve racking. it's a plague.

I figured out a somewhat workaround, created a “Custom Activity” with no emoji, and the status as “ " (Braille Pattern Blank Unicode character).
Now I have an automatic activity without any emoji and any text, unfortunately I still get the “Custom Activity” Icon underneath my name in the server member list.

It's a huge invasion of privacy that friends can see I am in a VC in a server they do not have access to. I don't want people to know when I'm on a call, or when I'm “Chillin tbh” or anything! They don't need to know and it does not need to be broadcasted.
