Why can't I link to my Discord account?

SlidTapestry59 · Nov 29, 2023

Until now, Discord has worked fine on my Series X Xbox. The accounts were linked, I could join servers, talk to people, and nothing was an issue. Now the Xbox says I need to relink my account, which I have done through every method I can find, but each time it connects it still says I need to relink. I've tried linking through my phone, through the internet browser on the console, and through QR codes. I've powercycled my Xbox, my phone, unlinked and relinked the account, restarted the console, checked for updates, and used a troubleshooter connected to my account but nothing has worked and every time I open the Discord tab it says "you need to link accounts again" and takes me back to the settings tab. The only provided error message is "Sorry, something went wrong while linking your account. Give it another try." Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Hi there SlidTapestry59, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

It seems to be an ongoing issue with Discord that is affecting many players. You can confirm this in the following threads I'll attach, where you can see that other players are also experiencing the same problem:

Since, as you can see, it appears to be a widespread emerging issue, I recommend that you help Xbox by reporting the problem through the following link:

https://support.xbox.com/xbox-live-status

Click the green button that says "Report" and fill in the information as detailed as possible.

This way, Xbox can be aware that there is an issue with Discord linking and can work on resolving the problem as soon as possible.

I appreciate your understanding and let's hope the issue gets resolved soon.

Kind regards,
Gerardo.

Hi RHENUSEN. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing this issue, are other accounts/services able to link just fine?

I advise contacting Discord Support as the account connection is made on their side: https://support.discord.com/hc/requests/new

Thanks,
Kyle

Thanks for the Response but that isn't linked to what i've said

I am trying to speak Through Discord via accessing Discord Servers and Xbox is Telling me to Re-Link my Account. I have Tried to do so and it hasn't worked. I have Unlinked and Relinked accounts to no Avail. I even created a New Account on Discord to try it out and it did not work

I even tried linking my Discord on another account on my Xbox and it's the Same Result

Same problem for me. I was in discord on xobox and tried to invite someone to a lobby and it kicked me out and shows an exclamation relink account for discord on my xbox. Discord works fine on phone app and shows that discord is linked to my xbox in my app on phone but I cant use discord on xbox
