Yes, you can stream YouTube movies on Discord, but there are a few steps involved, and you need to consider the rules and limitations:
1. Share Your Screen
– You can play a YouTube video on your browser and then share your screen on Discord.
– To do this, open Discord, start a voice or video call, and click the “Screen” button.
– Select the browser window where you’re playing the YouTube video and make sure you enable sound sharing so that others can hear the audio.
2. Use a Bot
– Some Discord bots can stream YouTube videos directly into voice channels. For example, bots like Rythm (though it has been shut down recently) or Groovy have historically allowed users to play YouTube videos directly within Discord.
– You can search for a bot that fits your needs, but remember that bot availability can change over time, and you should check if the bot you’re using complies with Discord’s terms of service.
3. Legal Considerations
– Make sure that you have the necessary rights to stream the movie or video. Streaming copyrighted material without permission may violate YouTube’s and Discord’s terms of service, and can lead to account suspensions or other consequences.
4. Streaming Quality
– Keep in mind that screen sharing on Discord may result in some quality loss, depending on your internet connection and Discord’s video settings. If you’re streaming movies with high-quality video or large file sizes, there may be buffering or resolution drops.
If you’re just looking to casually watch YouTube content with friends, screen sharing is the easiest method. But if you’re aiming for more seamless integration, you may need to look for specific bots or services that can help with YouTube streaming.
