We have all streamed our favorite shows and binge-watched on Netflix totally free of cost. If not openly, you would all agree in confidence that we have shared passwords of someone else’s account just to save a little pocket money. However, with the recent price hike and all the fuss revolving around Netflix’s brand-new password-sharing scheme, the online movie nights with our best friends staying miles apart could get difficult.

A step-by-step guide to streaming Netflix on Discord

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. However, those joining can use any device they possess (as long as they have the Discord software installed), making it simple to join a shared stream on a phone or tablet. 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.
  • Here, you will see the list of open tabs. Out of them, pick Netflix.
  • You will know that you have shared your screen successfully when you see the word “Live” appear next to your username. You will also see the Netflix’s screen in a thumbnail.
