Where in the video call does the ‘screen share’ option come in?
The first thing you need to do is log in. If you don’t have a Discord account yet, you’ll need to create one to be able to voice chat in the app. Then, we’ll enter the voice channel where we want to share our screen.
When you enter the voice channel, your microphone will automatically activate and display the video conferencing options. When your voice is connected to the voice chat, a screen icon with an arrow will appear; that’s the option you’ll select.
From a mobile device
To start screen sharing, you must install Discord on your mobile device . Once logged in to the app, enter the voice channel where you want to share your screen. Screen sharing on mobile devices is a new option, so it’s necessary to update to the latest version of the app.
Within the app, we’ll open the call options menu and, once there, simply tap the share screen button, which will appear at the bottom of the screen with a phone icon with an arrow inside. After tapping it, our screen will automatically begin sharing with other users.
On a PC
On your computer, you’ll need to have the Discord app installed on your desktop, which you can download from its official website . After downloading it, while in the app, access the voice chat you want and connect to it.
Then, select the Start Screen Sharing option, which will appear at the bottom of your computer screen, next to the camera icon. Pressing this option will open a window with screen sharing options.
You’ll be able to choose the quality of your screen broadcast, the frame rate, and whether you want to share your entire PC screen or just a specific window you want to show. We recommend using the default settings that come with Discord. Once you’ve chosen your settings, just press the Share button.
Once this is done, the rest of your friends will begin to see what’s happening on your computer or mobile device screen. If you want to stop sharing your screen, just tap the option you used to start sharing your screen again and select Stop sharing your screen.
Why might you not be able to share your screen and how can I fix it?
You’ll need to grant the app permissions to enable screen sharing, as if the permissions are blocked, Discord won’t let you share your screen.
If you want to share your screen on your computer, you’ll need to run the application as an administrator. To do this, right-click on the application entry and select Run as administrator.
So, when you try to share your screen again, you’ll be able to do so normally after doing this, because the Discord app will already have the permissions it needs to perform that function.
What should you do if you are not heard?
If you’re having trouble sharing your screen on Discord and can’t hear what you’re broadcasting, one reason is that you’re using an older version of the app. To fix this, you’ll need to update Discord on your PC to get a version compatible with your audio driver.
If this doesn’t work, you’ll need to go to the settings tab and reset your voice settings to correct any errors or misconfigured settings.
Open Discord, then go to User Settings. There, select the Voice & Video option . Within this tab, click the Reset Voice Settings option that appears in red.
This is a simple problem that can be solved quickly, so that it doesn’t happen again when we try to share our screen.
