Discord on Xbox throws a wide array of issues, from sign-in problems to voice chat errors to trouble linking the account. In most cases where Discord is not working on Xbox, it’s a problem on the app’s side to blame!

Other common causes for Discord issues on Xbox include corrupt cache, unstable network connection, misconfigured DNS and MAC address, and incorrect Xbox settings.

Before you start troubleshooting, switch to another network, preferably a mobile hotspot, and check for improvements. If the Discord issue is fixed, you can reconnect to the previous network. For some users, resetting the modem/router also did the trick!

When Xbox and Discord keep disconnecting, or it repeatedly shows you toRelink Account, power cycling your console will work.

2. Update Xbox and Discord

For 3 out of 5 users who recently faced sign-in issues with Discord on Xbox, installing the latest updates fixed things!

The August Xbox update, which rolled out a series of new features, also patched several critical issues with Discord. Besides, install any pending updates for the Discord app.

6. Reconfigure Online Status & History on Xbox

When Discord is not showing your status or fails to work on Xbox, you must set the online status and visibility toEverybody. This worked for 2 out of 5 users faced with Discord’s status-related problems!

7. Change the DNS address

While I have usedCloudFlare’s DNSsince it helped most of the affected users when Discord was not working on Xbox, you could setGoogle’s Public DNSor the even thefastest DNS server near youfor improved Internet speed!

8. Clear MAC address

If nothing else works, a reset should, in all likely, fix things when Discord is not working on Xbox, certain features are failing, or you are facing sign-in issues.

In case the problem persists, I recommend contactingXbox supportandDiscord supportfor more help. Because, if it’s an issue at their end, nothing you do will fix it. Some of these solutions may provide temporary reprieve but the problem is likely to reappear unless fixed by the developers.
