To stream shows on Discord, follow these steps:
1. Set Up a Discord Account:
– If you don’t already have a Discord account, sign up at discord.com or download the Discord app.
– Log in to your account.
2. Join or Create a Server:
– You need a server to stream. You can join an existing server or create your own.
– To create a server, click the “+” button on the left sidebar and follow the prompts.
3. Join a Voice Channel:
– In the server, find the voice channels (usually under the “Voice Channels” section on the left).
– Click on a voice channel to join it. This is where you’ll be streaming your content.
4. Start Streaming:
– Once in the voice channel, look for the “Screen” button (it’s usually located at the bottom of the app, near your user settings and mute/deafen buttons).
– Click on the “Screen” button to open the streaming options.
5. Choose What to Stream:
– You can stream an entire screen or just a specific application window. To stream a show, you’ll probably want to select a browser window or a media player if you’re watching locally.
– If you’re using a service like Netflix, Hulu, or any other streaming platform in your browser, select the browser window. If you’re using a media player, select that program’s window.
6. Adjust Streaming Settings:
– Before starting the stream, you can choose the resolution and frame rate of the stream. Discord offers up to 1080p at 60fps for users with Nitro, and lower options for free users.
7. Start Streaming:
– Once you’ve selected the correct window or screen, click “Go Live” to begin streaming.
– Your friends or server members in the voice channel will be able to see the stream.
8. Control Your Stream:
– You can pause, stop, or change the streaming source anytime by clicking on the “Screen” button again.
Note:
– Be mindful of streaming copyrighted content (like movies and shows), as it can violate Discord’s terms of service. Make sure you’re streaming content you have the rights to share or public domain material.
Enjoy your stream!
