Imagine you're planning a movie night with friends, but you can’t all be in the same place. You turn to Discord, hoping to share your Netflix stream so everyone can enjoy the movie together. However, you're not sure if this is allowed. But don't worry. With a few easy steps, you can successfully share Netflix videos on Discord.

Part 1. Can You Stream Netflix on Discord?

Streaming Netflix on Discord is a requested feature for watching movies and TV shows with friends, no matter where they are. You can chat, react, and laugh together in real-time with friends and family who are far away.

However, Discord doesn't allow users to screen share Netflix directly due to DRM (Digital Rights Management) restrictions. This means that when you try to share your Netflix screen, you might end up with a black screen. But don't worry, there are workarounds to watch Netflix with friends over Discord.

Here's how you can normally share your screen on Discord: First log in to your account and join a voice channel in your server where you have permission to screen share. Next, in the voice status panel at the bottom left corner, tap on the screen streaming icon. A new window will pop up, allowing you to choose whether to share a specific application window or your entire screen. Once you've made your selection, tap the "Go Live" button at the bottom of the window to start sharing your screen.

If you encounter black screens or lag, you can use a tool called ViWizard Netflix Video Downloader. It lets you download Netflix videos directly to your computer, so you can play the downloaded videos using a media player and share that window on Discord. This method avoids common issues like black screens and provides a smoother streaming experience compared to using the Netflix app or web player. However, we can't guarantee this method is risk-free, and we always encourage you to download Netflix videos only for personal use.
