Discord has recently enabled screen sharing on their mobile app. This wikiHow will teach you how to view a shared screen as well as how to share your own screen on Discord's mobile app for Android and iOS. Up to 50 people can view a stream at once.
Steps
-
1Open Discord. Its icon looks like a white smiling gamepad on a blue background that you'll find on one of your Home screens, in the app drawer, or by searching.
-
2Swipe right and select a server. This action will open up a list of servers you're in and the active server's channels in a panel on the left side of the screen.Advertisement
-
3Tap Live. You'll see a red "Live" tag next to anyone who is sharing their screen in a voice channel.
-
4Tap Join Stream. A thumbnail shows you a preview of what they are sharing.
- When you join a stream, the person sharing their screen will get an alert that you've tuned in.
- Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to see options to turn on your camera, turn on or mute the sound or microphone, or leave the stream. You'll also be able to change the stream's volume and share your own screen in return.
- The red icon with a monitor will remove you from the stream, not the voice channel. You'll have to tap the red phone icon to remove yourself from the voice channel.
