How Can You Connect Battle.net to Discord?

Connecting Battle.net to Discord is actually pretty easy but, just in case, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Go to the Discord User Settings (gear icon)

Go to the Discord User Settings (gear icon)
Go to the Discord User Settings (gear icon)

Begin by opening the Discord app (on your desktop PC) and scanning it to find the “Gear” icon (it should be near the headphones icon, in the bottom-left corner).

Give it a tap and continue reading:

2. Select “Connections

Select "Connections"
Select “Connections”

The Gear icon will teleport you to the Discord settings, at which point you’ll have to locate the “Connections” option on the right-hand side and shake its hand (by that, I mean tap it).

3. Select the Battle.net Icon

This will take you to yet another page on this wonderful journey of ours. The “Connections” tab will show you all manner of apps that you can connect to Discord.

The Battle.net icon can be seen in the picture above. If you’re unsure, search for “Battle.net” on Google and see what icon they have (it’s… well, three curved lines mingling with each other).

4. Login to Battle.net

You’ll be asked to enter your Battle.net credentials, so do that. If you’re like me and you forgot your password, quickly reset it and log in.

5. Use the Authenticator or Another Method to Prove It’s You

Here’s the tricky part – you’ll have to download the Battle.net Authenticator from Google Play (on your phone) to confirm the login attempt on your computer (connecting to the NASA servers again).

6. Select Another Method

Once you confirm through the Authenticator, you’ll be taken to a security check, because Battle.net wouldn’t be the true NASA without even MORE security measures.

In the “Security Check” window, you can select another method to confirm your identity. Click on the “Identity” option, and a dropdown menu will appear with several options.

I’ve selected the “SMS” option for this article. This means you’ll receive an SMS code to your mobile phone (only if the phone number is registered with Battle.net).

7. Allow All Permissions

The last step is to allow all the permissions for Battle.net to sync with your Discord account. This includes all your Battle.net game profiles, Account ID, and the BattleTag.

Check whatever options you want (doesn’t really matter), and click “Allow” to finish the process.

You can verify whether Discord has synced with Battle.net by going to Discord User Settings – Connections.

Under the “Connections” tab, you’ll find your Battle.net connection, and you can choose whether the Battle.net information appears on your Discord profile.

Check or uncheck the “Display on profile” option depending on what you want.

The One Conclusion to Rule Them All…

To summarize, you can connect your Battle.net account to Discord by going to User Settings – Connections – Battle.net.

Go through the synching process, log in to Battle.net, allow all permissions, and you’re done. You can go to the “Connections” menu in Discord to see if the connection was successful.

Connecting your Battle.net account to Discord allows you to showcase your achievements from Battle.net to Discord.

It also improves your gaming experience with your friends on Battle.net.

What if I can’t find the Battle.net icon on the “Connections” page on Discord?

This is more common than you think. Many users can’t connect their Battle.net accounts to Discord for three reasons:

– Either their Discord or Battle.net accounts are using different email addresses
– They can’t find the Battle.net icon on the “Connections” page on Discord
– They’ve changed their Battle.net usernames recently

There was even an official thread on Twitter where Discord officially stated that there was a problem syncing Battle.net to Discord and that they were working on it.

This took place between 2017 and 2018, and now, users can connect to their Battle.net accounts correctly.

However, if you can’t do that, you should restart Discord, clear the cache (on mobile), or reinstall it.

Do the same for Battle.net, to be sure. Afterward, try to sync your Battle.net and Discord accounts together.

How can you de-sync your Battle.net account from Discord?

If you want to de-synch your Battle.net account from Discord after syncing them, you should go to User Settings – Connections on Discord.

There, you’ll find the “Battle.net” entry, with your username next to it.

If you look carefully, you’ll see an X icon in the top-right corner of the “Battle.net” panel. Click on it to de-sync your Battle.net account from Discord.

You’ll be asked to confirm this by clicking on “Disconnect” or “Cancel.”

Doing this may also remove you from all the servers you’ve joined with the Battle.net account on Discord.

Please think carefully before you do anything because it may have serious repercussions on your Discord server and profile.

Fortunately, you can synch the Battle.net account back to Discord at any time. But this won’t make you rejoin all those servers, though.
