If you’ve ever considered organizing a Netflix streaming party, you can now do so via Discord, a VoIP application usually used by gamers to interact while gaming.
Therefore, how is this even possible? This post will demonstrate how to broadcast Netflix over Discord and create your streaming party. Additionally, we’ll discuss how to avoid the infamous black screen problem.
Discord was formerly renowned as an excellent platform for gaming-related communication. On the other hand, Discord has evolved into a multi-faceted platform that everyone adores over the last two years. Thus, while gamers adore Discord, many users find the site a great place to chat and socialize.
You can, for example, build a digital hangout space where you can communicate with friends, share media, and watch things together.
The issue is that Discord does not now support Netflix streaming. However, we are aware of the reasons for this circumstance.
However, this should not prevent you from having fun with your buddies, correct? As a result, we’ve discovered a method for streaming Netflix on Discord servers that works. The following article will teach you how to stream Netflix movies and TV shows on a Discord server.

Setup the Discord App
Discord can be accessed by various methods, including a PC, a smartphone, or a web browser. To stream Netflix on Discord, you will need the Discord program installed on your desktop. As a result, you must download and check the app via the official website.
You can also use the QR code scanning method if you already have a Discord account. If you do not already have one, creating one is simple. Select a username. In either scenario, the process will be completed quickly.
Disabling Hardware Acceleration
You must disable hardware acceleration in your browser at this point. While hardware acceleration is a useful feature, it may pose issues when using Discord to stream Netflix. You may notice a black screen in place of the Netflix content.
If you own these items, the following instructions will guide you through the process of streaming Netflix using Discord:

You should now be able to share your screen via a remote desktop connection. Select the Go Live icon to initiate the process (it looks like a monitor with a camera on top of it).
Assuming your browser is selected, select your frame rate, channel, and resolution from the pop-up menu. Choose Live Now.
Your shared screen should be displayed in a preview window. Anyone who is a subscriber to your channel should now be able to watch your Netflix stream.
