FAQs
Can I use Discord while streaming?
Yes, you can chat with your friends or use other basic Discord functions while streaming without having any problem. However, if you are streaming together on Discord, other viewers can hear what they are saying as well. So make sure that you don’t talk over each other to avoid making the stream difficult to follow for viewers.
How do I fix a black screen when streaming Discord?
Some users have fixed the black screen by having Discord in window mode instead of in full-screen. Of course, this trick applies to PCs or laptops only. Another reason might be that you are sharing the screen of an official paid website, like Netflix, which will get blacked out automatically.
Where is streamer mode on Discord?
You can locate Streamer Mode by going to settings/ configuration > App Settings > Streamer Mode.
