On May 4, 2026, we identified an issue with sound share while screensharing on Android. Due to a potential bug in Android System WebView, advertisements embedded in screenshared apps can break the audio capture pipeline, sending silence to viewers within Discord. Our partners at Google are working to find a root cause for this bug and develop a fix.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What platforms are affected?

A: Android is affected system-wide: any app (including Discord) that supports screensharing on Android is affected by this same bug. iOS, Windows, Linux, and macOS are not affected.

Q: When will this be fixed?

A: We do not have an ETA at this time. This article will be updated with any relevant information we receive from our partners at Google.

Q: What can I do in the meantime?

A: As a temporary workaround, uninstalling updates for Android System WebView should resolve this issue. Navigate to Settings > Apps > See all [number] apps > Android System WebView, tap the three dots in the top right, then tap “Uninstall updates”.

This workaround may cause other unknown issues, so we recommend keeping an eye out. If you encounter new issues, please reinstall updates from the Play Store.
