What causes the Discord stuck on connecting screen issue?
There are a few things that can prevent Discord from connecting. Here is a list of the things that can cause be behind this issue.
1. Turn off Browsing Protection
A lot of antivirus applications come with a feature named browsing protection and this feature can cause issues with the Discord. If you are using the F-Secure Safe, then the issue is highly likely related to the F-Secure Safe since it is known to cause this issue. Follow the steps given below and disable the Browsing Protection feature of F-Secure Safe This should fix the issue. Note: If you are using some other antivirus application then try to turn off its browsing protection feature as well. Almost every antivirus application these days have this feature. Even if your antivirus application doesn’t have this feature, try to disable the antivirus application for a while to see if it is interfering with the connection. If the issue gets resolved after disabling the antivirus then either keep the program disabled or install another one.

You don’t have to do anything though, the Discord app will automatically get the update. So just try to open the Discord every now and then to see if the issue is resolved.
