[ X] The profile (and redirect profile if exists) hasn't already been fixed upstream.

[ X] I have performed a short search for similar issues (to avoid opening a duplicate).
[X ] If it is a AppImage, --profile=PROFILENAME is used to set the right profile.

FTR: #3634

Add ignore novideo to your discord.local.

Still open: should we add it to discord(-common).profile? (@ all)

+1 for adding ignore novideo as it can be considered 'basic' functionality in this case.
