Display Your Mobile Game on Discord
Discord is a popular communication platform that allows gamers from all around the world to connect and play games together. However, what if you want to show your friends what game you’re playing while you’re on Discord? In this article, we will explore how to display your mobile game on Discord so that your friends can see what you’re up to.
Step 1: Enable Screen Sharing
The first step in displaying your mobile game on Discord is to enable screen sharing. To do this, open the Discord app on your mobile device and tap on the user settings icon (the gear icon) at the bottom of the screen. Scroll down to the “Screen Sharing” section and toggle the switch to the “On” position.
Step 2: Choose Your Screen Sharing Mode
Once you’ve enabled screen sharing, you’ll need to choose which mode you want to use. There are two options available:
* Full screen: This will display your entire screen on Discord.
* Application window: This will only show the specific application window that is running your game.
Depending on your preference, select the option that best suits your needs.
Step 3: Start Your Game
Now that you’ve enabled screen sharing and chosen your screen sharing mode, it’s time to start your game. Open the game app on your mobile device and launch it. Once the game is running, you should see a notification in Discord indicating that your screen is being shared.
Step 4: Share Your Screen with Friends
Once you’ve started your game, you can share your screen with friends by inviting them to join your Discord server. To do this, open the Discord app and tap on the server where you want to share your screen. Then, click on the “Members” tab and invite your friends to join the server.
Once your friends have joined the server, they can see your game by clicking on your name in the server list. This will open up a window displaying your screen, allowing them to see what you’re playing.
Step 5: Customize Your Screen Sharing Settings
If you want more control over what your friends can see when they join your Discord server, you can customize your screen sharing settings. To do this, go back to the “Screen Sharing” section in your user settings and toggle the switch for the “Application window” option. This will allow you to choose which specific application window is being shared.
You can also adjust the resolution and quality of the screen share by going to the “Video Quality” section in the same menu. Here, you can choose between a lower or higher quality stream, depending on your internet connection speed.
Step 6: Add Captions and Commentary
While your friends are watching your game, they may want to hear your thoughts and reactions. To add captions and commentary to your screen share, simply speak into your phone’s microphone as you play. Discord will automatically transcribe your words and display them in a chat window below the screen share.
Alternatively, if you want to add more context to your gameplay, you can use annotation tools to draw on your screen or highlight specific areas of interest. There are many third-party apps available for iOS and Android devices that can help you do this.
Step 7: Troubleshooting Common Issues
Despite the best efforts, there may be times when your screen share is not working as expected. Here are some common issues and how to troubleshoot them:
- Screen sharing is not starting: Make sure that you’ve enabled screen sharing in your user settings and that the app you’re using is compatible with Discord screen sharing.
