Open Discord on your PC or Mac. You can proceed on a web browser by logging in to https://discord.com. If you have the desktop app installed, you can find it in the All Apps section of the Windows menu (Windows) or the Applications folder (macOS).

You must be an administrator or have the corresponding permissions to block a channel.
