How to Share Your Screen on Discord

Tap each step to follow along in order.

  1. Join a voice channel first

    Click into the voice channel where you want to share your screen.

  2. Click the screen share icon at the bottom

    Click the screen-shaped icon in the control bar at the bottom of the app.

  3. Choose what to share

    Pick your entire screen or a specific application window to share.

  4. Adjust quality and frame rate, then click "Go Live"

    Choose your preferred resolution and frame rate, then click "Go Live" so everyone else in the channel can see your screen.

Talk while showing what is on your screen

Whether you are playing a game together or walking someone through a document, Discord lets you share your screen and talk in real time without installing any extra software.

Match your settings to your connection

A high frame rate looks great for fast-moving gameplay, but if your upload speed is limited, dropping the resolution or frame rate a notch keeps the stream smooth instead of choppy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my shared screen look blurry to others?

This is usually a resolution or bitrate setting that is too low for the content, or a bandwidth limit tied to your Discord plan -- try lowering the frame rate to free up quality, or check your upload speed.

Can I share system audio along with my screen?

Yes -- most versions of Discord include an option to share computer audio alongside the video, which is useful for sharing a video clip or game sound.
