Share Your Screen on Discord Mobile

Answer
On iPhone or Android, join a Discord DM, group-DM, or server voice call, swipe up if the call controls are hidden, tap Screenshare, and approve the phone's system start prompt. In a server you need the Video permission; Discord does not support mobile screen sharing on Xiaomi MIUI, Android audio requires Android 10 or later, and protected apps such as Netflix and Spotify may block screen or audio capture.
Remove private content from view
Close every app and page that should not appear, then turn on Do Not Disturb or disable notification previews before opening Discord. Screen sharing can reveal notifications and anything opened after the broadcast begins.
Join voice and open Screenshare
Join a DM call, group-DM call, or server voice channel; in a server, your role must have Video permission or Screenshare will be absent. In a voice-only call, swipe up and tap Screenshare; in a video call, tap the Screenshare icon in the bottom controls.
Approve the phone's capture prompt
Read the iOS or Android system dialog and tap its start control only when the audience is correct. Discord counts down from three and then shows a confirmation that your screen is being shared; do not leave the call until that confirmation appears.
Verify only the intended content is visible
Open the one app or page you planned to demonstrate and ask a trusted viewer to confirm it is visible and readable. Stop if a notification, account detail, or unrelated app appears; protected streaming apps may show no video or audio by design.
Stop the broadcast
Return to Discord and tap Stop Sharing, tap Screenshare again in the call controls, or use Stop Streaming in the phone's notification/control panel. Confirm Discord no longer shows the sharing indicator before reopening messages, passwords, or other private content.

If it does not work
- If Screenshare is missing only in a server, ask an administrator to check your role's Video permission under Voice Permissions; do not request Administrator.
- If the control is missing everywhere, update Discord and check the device boundary: Discord says Xiaomi devices running MIUI are unsupported.
- If viewers see video but hear no Android audio, Android 10 or later is required for audio sharing and some apps block audio capture even on supported versions.
- If Netflix, Spotify, or another protected app is blank or silent, stop testing that app; Discord does not support bypassing its screen or audio restrictions.

The retained 2024 video is historical and may show older mobile call controls. Use Discord's current Screenshare control and system confirmation described in the written procedure when the video differs.
