How to Watch Crunchyroll Together Without Screen Share

Why avoid screen share?

Discord Go Live and screen share compress Crunchyroll, put one host in control of pause/seek, and often break mid-episode. A watchroom lets everyone stream from their own Crunchyroll account in full quality while AniDachi keeps playback aligned. Capability check: can you screen share Crunchyroll on Discord?.
