Discord is a beloved platform where you can create a community to interact with, learn from, and hang out with people with shared interests.
Whether you are a marketer, business owner, gamer, or developer, you can create a Discord server for your particular purpose.
Normally, everyone sends messages, files, and other media, for others to read, see and respond to.
However, some messages can go unseen when the server is crowded and everyone is chatting.
If you are sending an important server update or urgent news, you don’t want to risk your message getting lost among other messages.
Discord allows you to tag everyone when sending a message to ensure everybody reads it. But how do you tag everyone in Discord?
To tag everyone in Discord, use “@everyone” or “@here” mentions. The mentions vary slightly, whereby “@everyone” tags every server member, regardless of whether they are online or offline. On the other hand, “@here” tags every member that is currently online.
This article gives an overview of tagging in Discord and shows how to tag everyone in Discord.
Overview of Tagging Users in Discord
Mentions, replies, and tags personalize interactions, responses, and announcements in Discord servers.
For instance, if you run a gaming server and welcome the members to share their all-time favorite video game character, you can tag everyone in the message so they can receive a notification and participate in the activity.
Once members have named their all-time favorite character, you can reply to their responses with emojis, a text reply, a GIF, and more.
Let’s say you wanted to respond to A’s answer, but the messages came in so fast that A’s reply got lost in the sea of responses.
In that case, you can mention A to tell them what you think of their character. For example, you can say, “@A, I also love Venti, but my best character is Yelan in Genshin Impact.“
Tagging everyone is essential when you want to alert everyone on the server about a message, announcement, activity, or update.
For instance, if you are a developer and own a Discord server for your bot, app, or game, you can tag everyone to inform them of an update.
Let’s discuss how to tag everyone in Discord in detail below.

FAQs
If you have tried tagging everyone on a particular Discord server without success, the server owner has probably disabled the “@everyone” and “@here” mentions. Admins disable the functions to avoid unnecessary member tagging, leaving it only to admins and moderators who make serious announcements or give critical updates.
Both “@everyone” and “@here” mentions let you tag everyone to your message in Discord. However, “@everyone” is better because you tag every Discord member regardless of whether they are online or offline.
