Unable to stream Netflix
Whenever I try to stream Amazon Prime or Netflix, I am unable too and I am not actually sure why. I tried to get support on this issue quite a while ago as it just displays the screen as black as if it is purposely censoring it yet my friends are able to stream these services with ease and I am unable to for an unknown reason. Can I get any help because it does seem a little unfair.

This is done on purpose. It's called DRM, google it

Peoples, stop answer things like this, are you cop? that's not your job. I'm sorry to teach you that all countries does not have the same laws. It exists countries where streaming is legal (using other ways to pay authors).

So how do I suppose to bypass the DRM?

What fixed it for me is going into your web browser settings and turning off hardware acceleration.

Seriously with the mean comments. This was touted as an option for people so excuse them for being confused by most of the services being blacked out by Discord sharing. Calling it piracy is ridiculous. Unless they're using a hacked account, it would be no different than having people over to watch Netflix/Hulu/etc. in the living room on the couch.

Turning off the hardware acceleration finally worked. Thank you Flux.

I can confirm what Flux said resolved the issue for me.
Don't know about you all but I'm using Chrome and it seems to affect anything browser-based, even games. This is a setting pretty much all web browsers have anymore. Most turn it on automatically when you first download the browser. Sometimes it'll even turn it on after updating them.
Just in case anyone isn't sure how to find it, here's where you go:
Click on the 3 dots to the top right-hand corner of the browser window, beside your little icon, and click on "Settings".
Once there, type into the search bar "acceleration". It'll bring up the option you need to turn off. After you turn it off a button beside it will pop up asking to 'relaunch'. Clicking it will close out Chrome and reopen all the windows you previously had open with the setting turned off.
After that, you should be good to go. At most you may have to close out the stream and re-launch it, but it should work fine from there.

This in no way is piracy, you pay for your subscription to Netflix and or amazon prime video. Piracy is when you steal a movie; and op is just trying to watch the movie with their friends. If it is a crime to watch a movie with friends or family then I am gonna head out.

Thanks, Flux!!!!!!!
Also, imagine calling sharing you screen for a few friends so you can watch a movie (that you, the host, paid for) together piracy. Guess I'll just go and spread some Covid in my neighbor's living room.

Agreed with MonotoneGinge.
I hate when Disord added this. I know there is laws, but hey..
chill discord, you are not cop
Who remembers the time when you could stream netflix. I streamed HTTYD movies to my community and now that is took away not just me but many others.
Please Discord, we beg you add those back.-1 -

Yep! Disabling hardware acceleration fixed the problem I had with streaming Netflix on discord. Thank you everyone for the information. I did do this months ago and I forgot to reply here but yes that is how you do it.
