Can You Stream Netflix on Discord?

You can stream Netflix on Discord as long as you meet the minimum requirements for doing so.

The first requirement that goes without saying is you must have an active Netflix plan . Secondly, you need a Discord server where you can stream your content. You can create your own server if you don’t already have access to one. You do not need a Nitro subscription to stream Netflix on Discord, but without one your stream quality will be limited.

With all of those requirements met, you can simply access Netflix in your Windows or Mac machine’s web browser and stream that browser’s contents on your Discord server.

How to Screen Share Netflix on Discord

To begin playing Netflix’s content on Discord, first, launch your preferred web browser on your Windows or Mac computer and access the Netflix site. Sign in to your account on the site.

Keep your web browser running in the background and launch the Discord app. In the app’s bottom-left corner, select the gear icon, which opens User Settings. After that, select “Registered Games” in the left sidebar. In the right pane, choose “Add It.”

In the box that opens, click the “Select” drop-down menu and choose your open web browser.

Close

Press Esc to close the Discord settings window.

On Discord’s main screen, in the left sidebar, join the server in which you want to stream Netflix. Then, in the app’s bottom-left corner, click the monitor icon next to your web browser.

Click the stream icon in the bottom left corner.

You’ll see a “Screen Share” window. Here, click the “Select a Voice Channel” menu and choose the channel in which you want to start the stream. Choose the desired streaming resolution and FPS (frames-per-second) in the “Stream Quality” section.

If you’d like to stream your content in 1080p or 60 FPS, you’ll need a Discord Nitro subscription , which costs $9.99/month if you pay monthly ($99.99 per year if you pay annually) as of May 2024.

To begin streaming, at the bottom of the “Screen Share” window, click “Go Live.”

Fix the Black Screen Issue While Streaming Netflix on Discord

Sometimes, you may get a black screen instead of the actual content while streaming Netflix on Discord. When this happens, turn off hardware acceleration in both your web browser and Discord. If that doesn’t fix the issue, run Discord with admin rights to potentially resolve the problem. We’re going to cover how to do that with some common browsers.

Disable Hardware Acceleration in Discord

Launch Discord and click the gear icon in the app’s bottom-left corner to open Users Settings. Then, click “Advanced” in the left sidebar and set the toggle next to “Hardware Acceleration” to the off position. Click “Okay” to confirm your choices.

Close

You’re done.

Turn Off Hardware Acceleration in Google Chrome

Launch Chrome, select the three dots in the top-right corner, and choose “Settings.” From the left sidebar, select “System.” On the right pane, turn off “Use Hardware Acceleration When Available.” Then, click “Relaunch.”

Click the three-dot menu icon, click 'Settings," select 'System,' then click the toggle next to Hardware Acceleration.

That’s it.

Deactivate Hardware Acceleration in Mozilla Firefox

Open Firefox, select the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) in the top-right corner, and choose “Settings.”

From the left sidebar, select “General.” On the right pane, scroll down to the “Performance” section.

In this section, disable “Use Recommended Performance Settings.” Then, turn off “Use Hardware Acceleration When Available.”

Click the hamburger menu icon, click 'Settings,' then go to the Performance section and make sure 'Use Recommended Performance Settings' and 'Use Hardware Acceleration' are disabled.

Reopen Firefox and your issue should be resolved.

Disable Hardware Acceleration in Microsoft Edge

Open Edge, select the three dots in the top-right corner, and choose “Settings.”

Click the three-dot menu icon, then click 'Settings.'

From the left sidebar, select “System and Performance.” On the right pane, turn off “Use Hardware Acceleration When Available.”

Select 'System and Performance,' then disable hardware acceleration.

Select “Restart” to bring your changes into effect.

Run Discord With Admin Rights (Windows Only)

If the solutions above didn’t work for you, try running Discord with admin privileges to resolve your issue.

First, close Discord if it’s already running. Then, open the Start menu and search Discord. In the app’s section on the right, click “Run as Administrator.”

Click the Start button then search 'Discord.'

Select “Yes” in the prompt. Then, try to stream your Netflix content.

Now that you’ve begun your Netflix watch party , go ahead and invite all your friends to join you in watching your favorite shows. Have fun!
