If you get theChannel verification level is too highmessage on Discord and can’t send any messages on the server or to the mods, it’s likely that you are running an outdated version of the app or don’t have the necessary verification in place required by the server, say the phone number.

When we faced the issue, it mostly affected Android and iPhone devices, while the web app worked fine. So, to start with, switch toDiscord weband verify whether you can send messages on the server without getting a Discord verification level error.

Also, verify the Discord server status on theofficial websiteor use a real-time monitoring platform likeDowndetector. If the servers are down, try again in a few hours.

What can I do if Discord reads Channel verification level is too high?

1. Update the Discord app

When our Windows Report experts tried fixing the error on multiple devices, updating the Discord app worked 9 out of 10 times. So, if you haven’t done so in a few months, install the latest updates.

Once done, launch the app, and if you see a Discord rules pop-up, accept the changes.

2. Verify your Discord account and check the server’s Verification Level

Discord requires you to add some information to verify the account and use certain features. This includes:

Also, if yours is a new account, wait for a while. Some servers allow members to interact or take action only when their accounts have been active for a specific duration based on the setVerification Level. Here are the restrictions for the different levels:

To check theVerification Levelsettings > right-click on the server > chooseServer Settings> go to theSafety Setuptab underModeration> view the configured settings.

If you are unsure about this, contact the mods. Remember, verification level restrictions do not apply to users who have been assigned a role.

3. Clear the Discord cache

3.1 Android

3.2 iPhone

Since iOS doesn’t natively allow clearing the app cache, as is the case with Android, you will have to rely on the app’s built-in setting. This also helps fix theBad activity result code 96error.

4. Turn off rules screening (for admins/mods)

Once done, verify whether new members can now send messages without getting theChannel verification level is too higherror on Discord. And if theDiscord rules screening is not working, make sure you have set up a community.

Now that you have bypassed the issue, it should be apparent that running the latest Discord version is critical because outdated versions lack functionality and may throw errors. And if it’s not a problem at your end, the mods just have to reconfigure the server settings.
