How to Stream Disney Plus on Discord?
To be able to stream Disney plus shows on Discord, we are going to use a simple trick that you might have already used before if you are a gamer and an active Discord user.
Basically, if you use Discord while gaming, you already know there is an inbuilt feature to stream any game with friends in the Discord servers. This is the same feature that is used to set a custom playing status on Discord. We are going to use the same trick but not to stream a game or set any status but to stream a particular window where our Disney plus show is streaming.
But one thing you need to know here is that you can only stream up to 720p video quality with this method. That is perfectly fine, I mean most of us still watch videos and content on 720p resolution on our mobile devices.
In case you want to stream on a higher resolution, you can give try the Nitro subscription package. But I don’t think so you’ll need that. 720p resolution seems to be an awesome video resolution to watch shows on mobile/desktop devices.
Also, it’s not just about Disney plus shows, but you can stream any platform, any video by using this trick. The method is the same, you just need to open your desired platform in the window that is being streamed on Discord, that’s it.
Step-By-Step Guide to Stream Disney Plus on Discord
Enough talking! Here is a complete step-by-step guide to stream Disney plus on Discord channels.
Step 1: Open the Discord app on your computer and simply log in to your account by entering your credentials.
Step 2: Click on the Settings icon and look for “Activity Status” under the Activity Settings option.
Step 3: Now, tap on the “Add it” button to add a custom window and choose a window where you will stream your desired show. For e.g, Google Chrome Browser.
Step 4: Tap on the Add Game button, and close the Settings Interface.
Step 5: Come to the Discord home screen, and click on the server where you want to stream the Disney plus show.
Step 6: At the very bottom on your left-side panel, you can see the option to stream the window which you added in Step 3.
Step 7: Tap on the stream icon, to stream that window in your chosen Discord server.
Step 8: A new popup with streaming settings will appear, just select a voice channel where you want to connect with your friends, choose stream quality as “Smoother Video”, 720p with 30FPS.
Step 9: Hit the Go Live button, and come to the browser/app which is being streamed.
Step 10. Log in to your Disney plus account and play your desired show, it’s all being streamed on your Discord server.
Congrats, you are now watching your favorite show live along with your friends on your Discord server.
Note: In case, if the only black screen is appearing while streaming Disney plus with your friends on the Discord server, then you need to turn off the hardware acceleration of your web browser. If your browser has hardware acceleration turned on, just turn it off. Here’s a quick tutorial for that.
How to Stream Disney Plus on Discord without Black Screen
To fix the Discord black screen while streaming issue, you need to turn off the hardware acceleration of your web browser. If you are using the Google Chrome web browser, you can easily turn off its hardware acceleration by following the below steps.
Step 1: Open Google Chrome, click on the three-dot icons.

Step 3: Go inside the Advanced Settings at the bottom of the left-hand panel.
Step 4: Inside, System Settings, you’ll find a toggle button for “Use hardware acceleration when available”.
Step 5: Turn it off, in case it was turned on in the first place.
Well, that is it. If you are using any other web browser, you can find a similar option under the Settings page. If you are not able to find it, just look on the Internet for a guide to turn off hardware acceleration on your particular web browser.
