Using Spoiler Tags in Discord Messages

To do a spoiler on Discord, highlight the text you want to hide, then click the eye icon in the context menu. You can also surround the text you want to hide by two vertical lines/pipes (i.e., "||text||"). To spoiler an image, click the eye icon next to the thumbnail before sending it.

Spoiler Links by Removing Embeds

  1. If you don't need to spoiler the link text but you don't want the embed to give away what the link is about, you can remove the embed before you send the link.
  2. Adding brackets around your link on Discord will remove the embed. The link will still be visible and clickable, but there won't be any image embed that previews what the link is about.
    • Example: <https://www.google.com>
