Frequently Asked Questions
What are Discord timestamps?
Discord timestamps are special codes that display dates and times in Discord messages. They automatically convert to each user's local timezone and can show relative times like "2 hours ago".
How do I use timestamps in Discord?
Simply copy the generated timestamp code (like <t:1640995200:R>) and paste it directly into your Discord message. It will automatically render as a formatted time.
What's the difference between the formats?
Each format displays time differently: Short Time (16:20), Long Time (4:20:30 PM), Short Date (20/04/2021), Long Date (20 April 2021), Short Date/Time (20 April 2021 16:20), Long Date/Time (Tuesday, 20 April 2021 4:20 PM), and Relative Time (2 months ago).
Can I use timestamps in embeds?
Yes! Discord timestamps work in embed descriptions, fields, and footers. They're perfect for event announcements and scheduled content.
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (UTC). Discord timestamps use Unix timestamps as their base format.
Do timestamps update automatically?
Relative timestamps (like "2 hours ago") update automatically in Discord. Fixed format timestamps remain static but display in each user's timezone.
