How to screen share on Discord

Join a Discord voice call, share the browser window, and confirm friends can see it. For a whole Crunchyroll episode or YouTube video, stop the share and use a Discord watch party with AniDachi so each person plays the video locally.

Start a Watchroom

Steps

Join a voice call
Open a Discord voice channel or start a call with the people who will watch.
Share your screen
Choose Share Your Screen in the call controls, then pick the browser window with the video.
Check what friends see
Ask if the picture is sharp and in sync with your voice. A black window usually means the player blocked the capture.
Switch Crunchyroll, YouTube, or Netflix to a watchroom
For a full episode, stop the share. Each person opens the same Crunchyroll episode or YouTube video and joins an AniDachi watchroom. Leave Discord on for voice.

Frequently asked questions

How do I screen share on Discord?

Join a voice channel, click Share Your Screen, and choose the window. Friends watch your capture inside the call.

Why does the shared video look bad?

Discord compresses the capture and can lag behind your voice. Some players also go black when captured. For Crunchyroll, YouTube, and Netflix, a synced watchroom keeps full quality on each person’s own tab.

Can AniDachi replace a Netflix screen share?

Netflix is supported in desktop Chrome. AniDachi syncs Crunchyroll catalog pages, full YouTube watch pages, and Netflix movie or episode pages in desktop Chrome.
