Complete Guide on How To Screen Share Netflix on Discord
Discord, Zoom, FaceTime, and other platforms like this with screen-sharing options came in handy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
When the world shunned us behind our homes during the horrific fatal virus, there were limited resources for fun and entertainment.
Since we could not meet physically with our friends — social media and chatting platforms enabled us to keep in touch with them.
Many things traditionally done in physical places had to be performed online, including business meetings, online classes, fitness classes, movie nights, sleepovers, and even weddings.
Discord is a chatting platform that has been quite popular among gamers for multiple reasons, one of which is that it knows what they want. Part of this comes from the fact that it was created by people who are gamers by heart.
Anyways, the platform also made quite waves due to its screen-sharing feature, and still, it continues to be one of the many endearing features.
You can share your screen with your friends to share whatever on Discord. They can watch together the movie you are watching, the game you are playing, or even the document you are reading.
You can share your screen on Discord desktop and also mobile.
Let’s learn how to screen share Netflix on Discord to enjoy your favorite Netflix shows, from “Stranger Things” to some k-drama like “Crash Landing on You” with your friends (whatever you fancy).
