To watch movies together on Discord, you can use the following methods:
1. Streaming via Discord Screen Share:
– Open Discord and join a voice channel in your server or a private voice chat.
– Once in the voice channel, click on the “Screen” button (a monitor icon) near the bottom of the voice channel window.
– Select the application window or screen you want to stream, such as a media player or browser window.
– If you’re using a media player, you might want to ensure the video is playing before starting the stream so others can watch it.
– Click “Go Live” to start streaming to others in the voice channel. Everyone in the channel can watch the movie.
2. Watch Together with “Watch Together” Feature (YouTube Integration):
– If you want to watch YouTube videos together, Discord has a built-in “Watch Together” feature.
– To use this, you need to be in a voice channel.
– Click the “Plus” button or look for the “Watch Together” option within the voice channel controls.
– It will redirect you to a YouTube interface where you can search for the movie or video you want to watch.
– All participants in the voice channel will be able to view the video and chat while watching.
3. Third-Party Bots (For Streaming Media Files):
– You can also use third-party bots like “Rythm,” “Groovy,” or others to stream videos/music from platforms like YouTube, Spotify, etc., into a voice channel. However, some bots might no longer be available due to changes in Discord’s policies.
– Install the bot to your server and use commands to stream content, such as linking a YouTube video directly into the voice channel.
4. Using Screen Share with Local Files:
– If you have a downloaded movie or video file on your computer, you can use Discord’s screen share feature to stream the video.
– Simply start a voice or video call, select the “Screen” option, and choose your media player or desktop screen to stream.
– This method is great for watching content that isn’t available online.
Things to keep in mind:
– For streaming movies with high quality, make sure you have a good internet connection and use Discord’s “Go Live” feature in a voice channel with high bitrate options.
– If you are streaming copyrighted content, ensure that everyone in the channel has access to the movie or video (i.e., you aren’t violating copyright laws).
