Does Discord Notify When Someone Takes a Screenshot?

I am trying to take screenshots of Discord chats. Does Discord notify screenshots? Can people see if I screenshot their DMs on Discord?

No. People will not be notified when someone takes a screenshot of a conversion on Discord. Although many users suggest adding a notification when someone screenshots DMs or chats like Snapchat, Discord doesn't have the feature to track and detect screenshot activity till 2024.

Is it illegal to screenshot chats/messages on Discord without permission?

In most cases, it is not against the law and terms of service to screenshot on Discord. But it is offensive to share the screenshots of private conversations publicly. You may be banned or blocked from a Discord server if you screenshot and share restricted content. So, keep in mind that you should get permission from others when you screenshot messages and don't leak personal information, from username to profile.
