Discord is a unique platform for communication among Internet users. You can communicate by voice and video, create your own servers to communicate or join already created ones, share various data, and simply chat. You can also share your screen to show, for example, a presentation for your work or study. In this article, we’ll tell you how you can share your screen in Discord.
How to share your screen via Discord on desktop
If you want to share your screen via Discord on your desktop you have to follow these steps:
- First of all, open Discord app on your PC and navigate to the server you want to stream in;
- Go to the voice channel and click on the “Screen” option in the bottom left corner. If this option is grayed out, it means that you do not have permission to stream in this channel, and you will have to ask the server moderator to change your role;
- In the next screen, you can select the screen or window you want to share;
