How to Subscribe to and Use Discord Nitro

Tap a step to follow along in order.

  1. Open the Nitro menu in settings

    Go to User Settings and click "Nitro" in the sidebar.

  2. Choose a plan

    Pick between the Basic and full Nitro subscription, depending on which perks you actually want.

  3. Use your monthly server boost

    A Nitro subscription includes boosts you can apply to a server you like, once a month, to help unlock perks for that whole community.

  4. Enjoy HD screen sharing and bigger uploads

    Subscribers get higher-resolution screen sharing and a much larger file upload limit, among other perks.

  5. Why it's worth it

    It's aimed at gamers and creators who want sharper screen share quality and room for bigger file uploads, or who simply want to support and customize a community they're part of.

Built for streamers, gamers, and community builders

If you regularly share your screen for coworking, gaming, or teaching, standard resolution can feel blurry and cramped. Nitro's higher screen-share quality and larger upload cap solve exactly that, without needing a separate paid tool.

What a server boost actually changes

Boosting a server isn't just cosmetic -- once a server crosses certain boost thresholds, everyone in it gets better audio quality, higher upload limits, and more custom emoji slots, so a handful of subscribers boosting together noticeably improves the experience for the whole community.
