When a Roblox game developer has integrated the Discord Social SDK, linking your account can open up social features like game activity sharing, game invites, and a safer, more connected experience in their official game communities — all while hanging out in Discord.
What this article covers:
What is the Discord Social SDK Integration for Roblox games?
Discord provides a Social SDK that Roblox game developers can choose to integrate into their games. When a developer does, it can unlock additional features for their official game server and players on Discord — like game activity sharing, game invites, and server verification. The features that are available for a given game and its server depends on what the developer has chosen to implement.
Getting set up to enable these features takes two steps: first, linking your Roblox account to Discord through Connections (the same place you'd connect Spotify or Xbox), then second, authorizing the specific game when prompted in the server.
This article walks through how to get set up, what features may be available, and how to manage your connection.
How to Link Your Roblox Account to Discord
You only need to link your Discord and Roblox accounts once. After that, when you join a server with the integration enabled, you'll be asked to authorize that specific game - a quick, separate step.
- Open Discord and select the cogwheel near your username to open User Settings.
- Select Connections from the left-hand menu.
- Find Roblox in the list of available connections and select it.
- Follow the prompts to log into your Roblox account and authorize the connection.
- Once complete, your Roblox account will appear under your active Connections.
Verified Roles and Server Participation
Official Roblox game servers that use this integration can manage access through a Verified role. Here's what to expect:
- When you join, you'll be prompted to link your Discord and Roblox accounts and authorize the specific game.
- Once authorized, you'll automatically receive a Verified role.
- The Verified role unlocks access to channels, chats, and other features the server admin has configured.
- Without a Verified role, you can join the server but won't be able to participate until your account is linked.
Crossbans
Some official game servers may use crossbans as part of their community safety setup. If you're banned from the Roblox game linked to a Discord server, the server admin may also ban you from that server through the integration. These are moderation actions taken by the game and server, not by Discord.
Crossbans are currently one-directional - a Roblox game ban can affect your Discord server access, but a Discord server ban does not carry over to the Roblox game.
Additional Features Powered by the Integration
Depending on what the developer has chosen to enable, linking your accounts and authorizing a game can unlock additional features.
Share Your Game Activity (Rich Presence)
Instead of a generic "Playing Roblox" status, your Discord profile can display the specific game you're playing — like Brookhaven or Grow a Garden — along with activity details the developer has set up, like your in-game location or playtime.
To manage your game activity visibility, go to Settings > Activity Privacy > Share my activity.
Send and Receive Game Invites
If a game is authorized, you and your friends can send and receive game invitations directly in Discord.
Game invites appear as a Game Invitation card in your DMs — just hit Join to jump straight into a session.
Managing your Connection
Your connection on Discord for this integration has two layers: a platform-level account link and individual game authorizations.
Disconnecting Your Roblox Account (User Settings > Connections)
You can disconnect your Roblox account from Discord at any time through User Settings > Connections.
To disconnect your Roblox account:
- Open Discord and go to User Settings.
- Select Connections from the left-hand menu.
- Find your Roblox connection and select the X next to it.
- A confirmation modal will appear. Select Unlink to confirm.
Removing your Roblox connection at the platform level does not automatically deauthorize individual games you've previously authorized. Your authorization for a given game and any features enabled through it (including any server access tied to them) will remain active until it is separately deauthorized.
Deauthorizing Individual Games (User Settings > Authorized Apps)
To fully remove a game's permissions, deauthorize the game separately:
- Go to User Settings > Authorized Apps.
- Find the game and select Deauthorize, then confirm.
Once deauthorized, you'll lose access to the features it enabled. This can include the Verified role and the ability to participate in that server until you re-authorize.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I've linked my Roblox account through other bots before. Do I need to do this again?
A: Yes. This Discord Social SDK integration is a separate connection from any third-party bot. You'll need to link through User Settings > Connections - but you only need to do it once, and it works across all servers that use the integration.
Q: Will I see this in every Roblox game server on Discord?
A: No. This integration is only available in official Discord servers for specific Roblox games where the developer has enabled it. Most Discord servers will not have this feature.
Q: Why isn't this Roblox integration available in my server?
A: The Discord Social SDK is currently only available to select Roblox developers. If a game hasn't integrated it yet, it may not be available for that server to enable.
Q: Do I have to link my account to join the server?
A: You can join without linking, but your access will depend on how the developer has configured the integration. Some servers require account linking to participate. Others may use the integration only for social features with no participation requirement. If a server does require it, you can still read the server without linking — but you won't be able to post or interact until you complete the process.
Q: How many Roblox accounts can I link to my Discord account?
A: You can only link one Roblox account to your Discord account at a time.
Q: What's the difference between disconnecting my Roblox account and deauthorizing a game?
A: Connecting to your Roblox account lets you verify that you are a Roblox player and share your basic profile information with Discord. Disconnecting removes your platform-level Roblox connection in User Settings > Connections, but does not remove individual game authorizations. Authorizing an individual game lets you enable the additional features described above relating to that game and its server. To remove a specific game's access and lose access to those features, go to User Settings > Authorized Apps and deauthorize that game separately.
Q: Why was I banned from a game's Discord server after being banned from the game?
A: Some servers use crossbans - a Roblox game ban can carry over to the connected Discord server. This is configured by the game developer.
Q: Can I control what game information is visible on my Discord profile?
A: Yes. Manage your overall activity visibility in Settings > Activity Privacy > Activity Sharing.
Q: How will I know what permissions and data sharing I'm allowing by authorizing a game?
A: Before authorizing a game, you'll see a screen outlining the permissions you’re granting the game and the data that you’re authorizing to be shared. For more information about the game’s data practices, please review its terms of service and privacy policy. Any data that Discord receives will be treated like other data shared on Discord consistent with Discord's Privacy Policy.
You can review and revoke your game authorizations at any time through your Discord Authorized Apps tab within the User Settings.
Q: I have an issue with Roblox itself — can Discord support help?
A: For issues with a specific game's server or their integration, please reach out to the server admin directly. For issues related to Discord features, you can reach out to Discord support. Discord is unable to assist with Roblox account or platform issues.
Q: I still need help — how do I contact support?
A: Submit a support ticket to dis.gd/support and include any relevant screenshots or error messages to help us assist you faster.
