Don\u2019t worry, check if these solutions can fix the black screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fix 1. Disable the Hardware Acceleration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the steps below to disable the hardware acceleration in Discord and your browser (Chrome and Firefox).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On Discord<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Go to Discord and tap on the gear icon at the bottom left to enter the settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap \u201cAdvanced\u201d from the left menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Switch off the <strong>Hardware Acceleration<\/strong> option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/chrome\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Google Chrome<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Click the three-dot menu in the upper right of the Chrome browser.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select \u201cSettings\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose \u201cSystem\u201d from the left sidebar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disable \u201cUse Hardware Acceleration When Available\u201d. Then, restart the Chrome browser.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firefox.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Mozilla Firefox<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Click on the three-dots menu in the upper right and select \u201cSettings\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select \u201cGeneral\u201d from the left sidebar. Then, scroll down to the \u201cPerformance\u201d section from the right panel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Switch off \u201cUse Recommended Performance Settings\u201d and \u201cUse Hardware Acceleration When Available\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fix 2. Use Discord Go Live Instead of Screen Share<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If Netflix shows a black screen when using Discord screen sharing, try <strong>Go Live<\/strong> instead. Go Live uses Discord\u2019s game streaming system and is more stable for DRM-protected content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fix 3. Share the Application Window, Not the Entire Screen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When sharing your screen, always select the <strong>application window<\/strong> (the browser playing Netflix) instead of <strong>Entire Screen<\/strong>. Sharing the full screen is more likely to cause a black screen due to DRM restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use LightningX VPN to Protect Your Streaming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When streaming Netflix on Discord, you can use a VPN to encrypt your internet traffic and protect your online data.
