Disguising links on Discord simply involves changing the appearance of a Discord link to lure users to open the link.
There are several ways to disguise your Discord link. Here are some guides to follow in disguising links on Discord.

One way you can disguise your links is to toggle off the display of the link preview via Settings.
Once you are done, any link you upload in your servers’ channels will have no link preview. It will not have any preview attached to it. Here is how to go about it.
Step 1: Open Discord
Navigate to the Discord app on your device and tap on it to open. Log in to your account if you have not already logged in.
Step 2: Open your Discord Settings
On the homepage, open the options menu. Tap on the hamburger icon at the top left corner of the page.
Your Discord profile appears at the bottom right corner of the next page. Tap on the Settings icon.
Step 3: Turn off Embed and Link Previews
Scroll down to APP SETTINGS. Under App Settings, tap on Text & Media.
A toggle button is positioned beside the text “Show embeds and preview website links pasted into chat.” It is under Embeds and Link Previews. It is turned on by default. Tap on the toggle button to turn it off.
After completing this procedure, all links you share on Discord will appear without a link preview.
Using angled brackets “< >”
Another way you can disguise your links on Discord is by enclosing the link in angled brackets. “<>”
Enclosing your link in angled brackets prevents the link preview from showing. Here is how to go about it.
Step 1: Open Discord

Tap on the hamburger button to display your servers and channels. Tap on the server you would like to use and choose a preferred channel.
Step 3: Enclose your link in angled brackets
In the text box, paste your already copied link. Begin your link with the first angled bracket “<” and end the link with the second angled bracket “>”.
Your link should look like this, “<Link>”. Send the link to the channel. Your link will look without a preview.

You can also use a spoiler tag to disguise your links on Discord. On a channel that you select, paste your already Copied Link.
Highlight it and tap on the Eye icon on the floating bar that appears right on top of the link. Instead of a link preview, a spoiler tag appears as part of the link.
