How to Make a Timestamp in Discord: A Step-by-Step Guide

Timestamps in Discord are a fantastic way to schedule events, remind users of important dates, or simply display dates and times in a clean, dynamic format within your messages. By using Discord's built-in Markdown syntax, you can easily create timestamps that automatically adjust to each user's local timezone. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to make a timestamp in Discord.

What Are Discord Timestamps?

Discord timestamps are a feature that allows you to embed a date and time in your messages using a specific Markdown syntax. Once added, Discord automatically formats the timestamp and adjusts it to the recipient's local timezone, making it perfect for coordinating across different regions. For example, if you're planning a gaming session or a virtual meetup, a timestamp ensures everyone knows the exact time of the event.

Timestamps in Discord are created using Unix timestamps (a numerical representation of a specific date and time) wrapped in a special syntax. Don’t worry if that sounds complicated—we’ll break it down for you!

How to Make a Timestamp in Discord

To create a timestamp in Discord, you’ll use the following syntax:

<t:UNIX_TIMESTAMP:FORMAT>

• <t: - This tells Discord you’re creating a timestamp.
• UNIX_TIMESTAMP - A Unix timestamp (in seconds) representing the date and time.
• :FORMAT - An optional letter to specify how the timestamp should display (e.g., short date, full date, time only, etc.).
• > Closes the syntax.
