Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Unix timestamp?

A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC (the Unix epoch). Discord uses Unix timestamps for all time-related features.

Why do Discord timestamps show different times for different users?

Discord timestamps automatically convert to each user's local timezone. This ensures everyone sees the time in their own timezone, making coordination easier for international communities.

Which timestamp format should I use?

Use relative time (R) for events happening soon, long date/time (F) for scheduled events, and short date/time (f) for general purposes. It depends on your specific use case and how much detail you want to show.

Can I use these in bot embeds?

Yes! Discord timestamps work in regular messages, embeds, and anywhere else you can put text in Discord. Just paste the timestamp markdown code directly into your embed description or field values.
