How to share the screen in Discord

Here, we will explain to you how to enable the screen share feature in Discord for both desktop and phone versions;

Both Windows and Mac PCs can share their screen in Discord. Follow the steps;

• First, open Discord on your Mac or PC. It doesn’t matter if it is a downloaded application or a client-based web service.
• Head to the server you want to stream in Discord.
• Next, go into a voice channel and click on the “Screen” button on the bottom left of the screen. If the “Screen” option is not available, it means that you are not allowed to stream in the channel, and you have to ask a server moderator to change your role. You can also click on the “Video” button to start streaming with your webcam.
• Now, choose the content you want to share. You can share your entire screen at once, meaning that people will see your screen exactly as you do, or you can share a specific app.
• Choose the quality of the content you want to share in the next step. If you have Discord Nitro, you can stream at 1080p or higher at 60FPS. If the answer is negative, you will be limited to 720p at 30FPS.
• Finally, click on “Go Live.” Once you click, you will start streaming with your audience’s screen. You can see your shared screen by double-clicking on the red “LIVE” icon next to your name. Note that only up to 50 people can watch your stream at any given time.

If you want to put an end to your stream, disconnect from the voice channel or click the “Screen” option in the bottom left of the screen again.
