16-18 digits (long number)
Unique to your account

What it represents:
Your Discord user account
Used to identify you
Won't change
Same across all servers
Server ID (Community ID)
Format:
16-18 digits (long number)
Unique to your server
Example:
987654321098765
What it represents:
Your Discord server
Used to identify the community
Won't change
Specific to that server only
Channel ID
You can also copy Channel IDs:
Right-click a channel name
Select "Copy Channel ID"
Gives ID for that specific channel
Example:
Channel ID: 111111111111111
Troubleshooting
"I Don't See 'Copy ID' Option"
Why this happens:

Discord hasn't refreshed
Using old/outdated Discord version
What to do:
Verify Developer Mode is ON
User Settings → Appearance → Developer Mode
Make sure toggle is blue/active
Refresh Discord
Press F5 (Windows) or Cmd+R (Mac)
Or restart Discord completely
Try right-clicking different things:
Try right-clicking a message
Try right-clicking in chat
Try right-clicking username
One of these should show the option

Or contact LaunchPass at [email protected]
"Copy ID Option Appears But Nothing Happens"
Why this happens:
Browser/app clipboard issue
Temporary glitch
Permissions issue
What to do:
Try again

Restart Discord
Close Discord completely
Reopen it
Try again

Restart usually fixes it

Best Practices
Keeping Your ID Safe
Your Discord ID is NOT a secret. It's just a number that identifies you.
It's safe to share:
✅ With LaunchPass support
✅ With Discord support
✅ With bots you trust
✅ With integrations you're using
✅ In public
It's NOT like a password:
Someone knowing your ID doesn't let them access your account
Can't hack you with just the ID
It's basically public information
That said: Don't share unnecessarily. Only give it when asked by trusted services.
Using ID in Tickets/Reports
When reporting to LaunchPass:
Always include your Discord ID
Include any member IDs (if reporting a member)
Include your server ID (if relevant)
Makes troubleshooting faster
Reduces back-and-forth
Documenting Your IDs
Optional but helpful:
Save somewhere safe (for reference):
Your Discord ID
Your server ID
Your main channel IDs
Don't need to be secret, just for quick reference when support needs it.
