    1. Download Official Discord App

    Though we can use Discord on the computer via the web version, it’s not going to work here. You need to install the official app. Click here to download the setup file. Don’t forget to begin the installation and sign in using the credentials or the QR code.

    1. Open Netflix

    Now, you should open Netflix on your browser of choice. Log into your account and browse a movie or a TV series episode to get it ready. After setting up Discord, you will have to return to this page to play the video. For the time being, minimize the browser window.

    1. Setup Process to Stream Netflix on Discord

    We are going to explain this session in different steps so that you will have no trouble following it.

    Step 1: Open Discord and go to Settings. You can locate the Settings icon on the left-top portion of the screen (where you see your username).
