Nishant SapkotaDiscord is one of the most popular communication applications around the globe. Gamers and game enthusiasts usually use it. The unique features and a handy UI/UX makes the application more effective. Unlike every time, sometimes the users face in-app bugs or errors. Usually, the voice in Discord cuts out automatically, and sometimes Discord won’t open links. For this reason, I will tutor you on how to open links in Discord.
Why Discord won’t open links?
There are usually two reasons; the first one is, the link may be unsafe or potentially risky to visit. The second reason is that you haven’t set a default browser on your device. So Discord can’t open links on your device.

How to open links in Discord?
To open links in Discord, you need to set a default browser on your device. When you request to open a link, Discord opens a link in the browser, set as default by the user. If there isn’t any default browser, then the link won’t open. So to solve the issue, follow the below-mentioned steps sequentially to open links.
- Open Settings.
- Type Choose a default web browser and click on it.
- Under the browser, navigate to your preferred browser.
- Click on your preferred browser.
- Now, you have set a default web browser.
Now, you will be able to open links since you have set a default browser.
To pin the browser on the taskbar, right-click on the taskbar’s application and click on the pin to taskbar.
