Note: – If you do not yet see this function on your mobile device, check to see if the app you are using has received the most recent update available in the ITunes Store or Google Play Store.

Note: Users of Discord can anticipate seeing updates and enhancements to the Discord Android application beginning on August 1st, 2022. These updates and enhancements will include the following:
– Maintaining a consistent set of features across all supported platforms by utilising a centralised and streamlined app development process for PC, iOS, and Android
– Accelerated app update release cycles as a result of a more centralised procedure, which allows for the introduction of new features or the correction of annoying bugs.
In order to provide an improved overall experience for users of the Android app, the migration to the React Native framework will start over the next few weeks. The following steps need to be taken in order to use the updated version of the Discord app: – Go to the Google Play Store in order to manually upgrade your Discord app.
– On the other hand, if you have auto-update turned on for your Android device, the application should update itself automatically.
You can learn more about this change by reading the post that we published on our blog.
Make sure you have the most recent version of your Android app from the Google Play Store before September 1, 2022, which is the official day that the previous Discord Android programme will stop functioning.

Share your screen from your mobile device using the new functionality available! You will now be able to share your screen directly from your phone whenever you are in voice, regardless of whether you are in a DM voice channel, a GDM voice channel, or a server voice channel.

Mobile Screenshare Requirements

Before you begin sharing your screen with your friends, you will need to ensure that both your device and operating system satisfy the prerequisites that are outlined in the following section.

In addition, any restrictions imposed by the applications themselves on the content that can be shared on your screen will be discussed in this section.

Supported Devices

You will now be able to screenshare from mobile devices running either the iOS or Android operating system.

Note: At this time, Mobile Screenshare is not available on any Xiaomi devices running the MIUI operating system.

OS Limitations

At this time, we enable screensharing on devices running Android 5 and above, and audiosharing on devices running Android 10 and above. Because of the limitations of older versions of the Android OS, users of those operating systems will not be able to utilise the audio share feature.

App Limitations

Although while the vast majority of apps are supported, there is a possibility that a select few apps will not enable audiosharing on Android-specific devices.

In addition, several streaming applications, such as Netflix and Spotify, do not allow users to share their screens or their audio due to limitations imposed by the applications themselves.

Note: The screensharing functionality of these streaming applications is not supported by our company.

Server Screenshare Permissions

It is necessary for you to have a role within the server that grants you video access to be able to share your screen with the server. If you do not have this permission, you will not have the ability to share your screen while you are connected to a server.

If you do not already have the Video permission for your position, you will need to contact the owner of the server or one of the other administrators to request that the Video permission be enabled (under the Voice Permissions category).

How To Start Sharing Your Screen on Mobile

You are now able to begin the process of sharing your screen using the mobile app because you have satisfied all of the prerequisites outlined in the previous section.

Make sure that you are connected to voice before beginning the screen sharing process. (You may be in a direct message, a group direct message, or a voice channel.)

• If you are on a voice-only call,
• Swiping up from the bottom of the screen will take you to an option where you can begin a screen share. After doing so, select the button labeled Screenshare.
• If you’re in a video call,
• You’ll notice an icon for Screensharing on the very bottom row of controls that are viewable during the video connection.

Note: In the event that you do not see the option there, slide up from the bottom of the screen to bring up a control panel for the voice and video. After that, you may access the Screenshare option by pressing the corresponding button on the menu.

After you have pressed the symbol for screen sharing, the operating system will bring up a dialogue box and ask you if you are prepared to begin screen sharing.

As soon as you press “Start now,” the application will begin counting down until the number 3, at which point it will begin sharing your screen. After that, you will see an official confirmation that the screen you are currently viewing is being shared.

Note: You won’t just be able to share your screen; in addition, you’ll be able to video chat at the same time! To share your movie, you just to click the Video icon located in the control panel.

How To Watch Your Friend’s Screen on mobile in Discord

When a friend of yours begins streaming when you are connected to the voice, you will have the option to watch their broadcast appear as soon as it becomes available.

When you click on this “Join/Watch Stream” button, you’ll be able to begin watching the stream that your friend is now broadcasting right away!

Note: Streams may accommodate a maximum of 50 viewers at the same time (that’s 50 viewers in addition to the broadcaster!).

If you have many friends who are sharing their screen at the same time, you will be able to switch the stream that you are watching by pressing the Watch Stream button on the other friend’s stream. This will allow you to switch between the friends’ screens that are being shared simultaneously.

When you press it, the screen will immediately change to that of your other friend.

Controlling The Stream Settings in Discord

When you are viewing the shared screen of a buddy, you will have the ability to adjust the volume of the stream by swiping up from the bottom of the screen.

Best Practices When Screensharing in Discord on Mobile

While you are screensharing, everything that is displayed on the screen of your mobile device will be viewable, including any alerts that are received.

Before you begin sharing your screen from your mobile device, we strongly suggest that you carry out the procedures outlined in the next paragraph first.

1. Before you share your screen with someone else, be sure that all other application windows are minimized and closed.
2. If you do not want your friends to see the notifications that you receive on your mobile device, you may either turn off the notifications or switch to Do Not Disturb mode.

In addition, you should exercise extreme caution with any confidential or private information that you might have stored on your mobile device.

Only on desktop devices will you have the ability to alter the video quality of your screenshare streaming if you are a subscriber to either Nitro or Nitro Classic. This is where you can get more information.
