As an Xbox Insider, starting soon in preview, you will also have the added option to link your Xbox Live account to your Discord account directly from your Xbox One, which will become available to the broader Xbox community soon. Open the Account Settings<\/strong> menu on Xbox One, and select \u201cLinked social accounts.\u201d<\/strong> Here, you will see a new option for linking your Discord account. Once you receive your unique code from Xbox, open the Discord app and insert the code within the Connections tab.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And from a PC, the process goes like this…<\/p>\n

From the Discord app on PC or on a mobile device, in the coming <\/em>weeks you will see an option to link your Xbox account <\/em>with your Discord account through the Connections<\/strong> tab under User Setting<\/strong>s. Click on the Xbox Live<\/strong> option and sign in<\/strong> to your account. After enabling permission, your accounts will be linked.<\/em><\/p>\n
