How to fix Black Screen When Screen Sharing on Discord (Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, etc)!

How to fix Black Screen When Screen Sharing on Discord (Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, etc)!

1. go to the voice and video tab in your settings then go to video codec and disable OpenH264 Video Codec, disable both of those options of you want.

2. if you go farther down the voice and video tab you'll also find a setting for "Use our latest technology to capture your screen." this has worked for some people.

3. But if it continues to be an issue where you only hear audio there is one last method that did the trick for me was actually going on chrome and going to settings. Scroll all the way to the bottom until you land on advanced drop down menu. Look for the setting that says "Use Hardware Acceleration when available" and disable that feature.

did this a while ago, forgot about the chrome setting part and I love how this still works! thank you so much man for letting me and my gf still watch movies when we're apart!

[emilyavalon]

This is going to let me and my friends actually be able to spend time together without having to just watch YouTube videos. Thank you so much!!!

[Teekz]

Thank you so much! My husband and I are long distance right now and watching movies together has been our way to spend time together. I thought we were doomed until this video. Thank you for keeping it short and sweet!

i tried EVERYTHING except the chrome settings thing! You're a lifesaver bro. Was trying for an hour and nobody else suggested it was a chrome thing instead of a discord problem

[name-uhee]

You're helping so many people that want to watch movies with friends during covid

[snommunistmunchlax]

For anyone finding this video now after two years: Fix still works! Thanks for helping me prevent a major headache.

[javierramos]

It’s people like you that make the world a better place.

[MechaSandvich]

Thanks bro. I was shocked when even movies I fully purchased couldn't be screen shared, now I can finally share them with my server

[Fluxeau]

Idk what i'd do without this video. My server has a Movie channel with like 8 people and now I can screen share again (wasn't having issues before). Much appreciated bro

[RangonTheGreat]

Finally, been needing this for a hot minute, thank you!

[ko]

I absolutely love the fact that the bit where you click relaunch is the most replayed part of the video

[madscientistgaming]

Homie you just solved many people's life mystery

[justinugarte]

2 years later and still clutch af, absolute W

[crimsoncreepermc]

Still works if you’re wondering. But the setting is called graphics acceleration now instead of hardware acceleration. All my homies watching NBA now.

[MarjorieKing-zifb]

Super helpful! Now I can stream Netflix on my server. Thank you :)

[Plixe]

Thank you sir. I can now watch Evangelion with my friend without crying on the inside every night due to the shit not working. You have saved me.

[aeislyleusinia]

Your particular solution actually worked for me. Thanks a lot!

[dazaidaze]

Omg thank you so much! My friend has a discord server and I’m in charge of movies. There servers pretty inactive and I figured movies can help. I tried streaming a movie before, but it didn’t work and the screen was black. You’re a life saver!

[alexroeland]

Great video! Straight to the point and no BS thanks dude!
