How to Share Your Screen in Discord

Last Updated: September 24, 2021

This wikiHow will teach you how to share your screen in Discord using the desktop client. Unfortunately, there is no support to share your screen in the mobile app, so you'll have to use the desktop client for this feature.

Steps

1
Open Discord and join a server. If you haven't already joined a server, click the server you want to join in the left column. Once you join the server, a list of its channels will appear in the column on the left side of the window.
2
Join a voice channel by double-clicking a channel with a speaker icon. Voice channels are listed under the header "Voice Channels."

Click to select a screen to share. You can select Screens and your current screen if you want to share everything on your monitor, even when you move to a different application.
- If you click an application from the Application tab, such as Word, when you go to your web browser, the Discord group will not see your web browser, but only Word.

Click Go Live. You'll see some of your streaming settings, such as which channel you're sharing with, what you're sharing, the frame rate, and the resolution.^{[1]
