How do I stream a game on Discord so my friends in the voice channel can watch?

Join the voice channel first, then near your name bottom-left click 'Screen' or the 'Go Live' button, and pick either a specific game/app window or your whole screen. Choose resolution and frame rate (1080p60 needs Nitro; free caps lower). Friends see a 'Live' badge and click to watch. For game audio: streaming a specific application window carries that app's sound automatically; sharing a full screen needs 'Stream audio' enabled. No sound usually means you shared a screen without audio, or Discord needs a restart. Running Discord as admin fixes most black-screen capture issues.

Free Discord caps stream quality (around 720p/30); 1080p60 and higher frame rates need Nitro. If your stream looks blurry to friends, that's the free-tier limit, not a setting you missed.

Black screen when streaming a game is the classic bug. Fixes: run Discord as administrator, turn OFF hardware acceleration in Discord settings, or capture the specific game window instead of the full screen.
