Its simple to use, and quite useful for sharing other, non-gaming things like movies or shows.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Once youre in the voice chat room, start your game.
For regular Discord users, it’s possible for you to stream up to 30 fps and 720p.
If youve got a Nitro account, you’re able to go bigger and faster.
But suppose you want to do something other than play a game live.
Suppose you want to, for example, watch a film with friends or present a slideshow to colleagues?
Discord wont automatically recognize anything besides a game as something streamable.
To fix this, go to the configs menu, and find the Game Activity section.
From here, youll see a drop-down menu.
This menu will list all the active programs on your box, not just games.
So you might select a movie player, or your internet web client.
Once youve selected the program, itll show up as a Go Live option while youre using it.
And there you go.
Hopefully this will help you get through the current outbreak, and any in the future.
