If you find that your phone is also sending you notifications while you are at your computer, you can change this setting so Discord will only send phone notifications if you are AFK (away from keyboard) after 10 minutes. If you enable this setting, Discord will give you a quick preview of what their popups look like. You can disable that if you feel there are too many popups from Discord.
