If you are one of the people who buy a Netflix subscription and want to share your subscription with your friends, you can stream content from Netflix to Discord.

Streaming on Discord makes it so that you do not need to lend your login credentials to anyone. But what about the black screen? Don’t worry; we’ve thought it through! In this article, we’ll show you how to screen share Netflix on Discord.

Before the introduction of Activities on Discord, you might have screen-shared YouTube or Twitch in a voice chat before. Did you know that you can screen share Netflix the same way without the black screen blocking your movie or show? The black screen that you see is known as DRM Security Protection.

Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a way to protect copyrights for digital media. This approach includes the use of technologies that limit the copying and use of copyrighted works and proprietary software. You will need to bypass this to be able to stream Netflix to Discord.
