Once selected, you'll notice a new User Settings alert, prompting you to select a new username. Look for the red dot next to User Settings, then check the Yellow alert next to My Account. Some partnered server owners were already given the privilege to secure their usernames early, but it appears that Discord is now rolling out the option to the rest of its users in waves, beginning with those who joined Discord all the way back in 2015 and those who have been subscribed to Nitro since before March 1st! With Discord open, use Ctrl+R to refresh the program and check to see if you're eligible!

We will be assigning priority to choose your new username based on when you registered for Discord, Nitro status, and ownership of partner and verified servers. Display Names are being added so how you appear to other users stays the same. TL DR: Discord usernames are changing to remove four-digit discriminators.
