Streaming Netflix movies over Discord is an easy way to watch your favorite shows and movies with friends and family while maintaining social distance. Here's how you can set up the process in just a few easy steps:

Step 1: Set up a Discord account

To stream Netflix movies over Discord, you will need to have a Discord account. If you don't already have one, you can sign up for free on their website. Once you have an account, you will need to create a server. A server is a place where you can chat with friends, share files, and stream content. To create a server, click on the "Create a Server" button in the Discord app. Give your server a name and select a region. Once you have created your server, you can invite your friends to join it.

Step 2: Install the Discord Screenshare feature

Discord has a screenshare feature that allows you to share your screen with others on the server. To use this feature, you will need to install the Discord Screenshare extension. To install the extension, go to the Discord app, click on the gear icon in the bottom left corner, and select "Appearance." In the appearance section, select "enable hardware acceleration." Then, click on the Discord Store button in the bottom right corner and search for "Discord Screenshare." Once you have found the extension, click on "Install" to install it.

Step 3: Set up a virtual audio cable

To stream the audio from Netflix to Discord, you will need to set up a virtual audio cable. A virtual audio cable is a software tool that routes audio from one application to another. There are many virtual audio cable tools available, but we recommend using Virtual Audio Cable. Virtual Audio Cable is a paid tool, but there is a free trial available.

Once you have installed Virtual Audio Cable, you will need to create a virtual cable and set it as your default audio device. To do this, go to the Windows Control Panel and select "Sounds." In the Sounds section, select "Playback" and find the virtual cable you just created. Right-click on the virtual cable and select "Set as Default Device."

Step 4: Start streaming Netflix

Now that you have set up your virtual audio cable, you can start streaming Netflix. To do this, open the Netflix app and select the movie or show you want to watch. Then, right-click on the volume icon in the bottom right corner of your screen and select "Playback devices." In the playback devices section, select the virtual audio cable you just created. This will route the audio from Netflix to the virtual audio cable.

Step 5: Share your screen on Discord

Now that you have set up the virtual audio cable and started streaming Netflix, you can share your screen on Discord. To do this, go to your Discord server and click on the "Screen Share" button. In the screen share window, select "Desktop" and click on "Start Sharing." This will share your screen on Discord, including the Netflix movie or show you are watching.

Step 6: Watch the movie together

Now that you have started sharing your screen on Discord, your friends can join the server and watch the movie with you. To do this, they simply need to click on the "Join Screen Share" button in the Discord app. They will then be able to watch the movie or show with you in real-time.

Conclusion

Streaming Netflix movies over Discord is a fun and easy way to watch your favorite shows and movies with friends and family. By using the Discord Screenshare feature and setting up a virtual audio cable, you can easily share your screen
