The Discord mobile app does not currently support screen-sharing Netflix, so if you want to share a screen on a smartphone, you will need the desktop application or the web browser version.

Here is your step-by-step guide:
- The first step is opening Discord in your web browser or using the desktop version and logging in to your account.
- Then comes signing in to your Netflix account in a new tab on your browser.
- Join a voice channel and click on the share screen option. You will then have to choose the browser on which you are going to stream Netflix. [PS. You can be on a 1-on-1 call and still share the screen.[
- On your bottom left, you will the Screen button, which you must click to share your device’s screen.
- Next, you must ensure the ‘Share tab audio’ box is ticked off by going to your tabs. Chrome users can do the same by picking the Chrome Tab.
