This feature has been added as a Discord experiment, and will likely be added officially soon.

SyntaxPrime sadly HDR isn't supported for screen sharing. Discord Nitro allows you to screen share at max source quality. But sadly nothing when you have windows HDR option enabled.

I would like to be able to share in HDR as well since trying to share with it on washes out many of my games in higher contrast. Xsplit easily allows this with a high contrast box I check.

Still no support here for HDR + Go Live. Really unfortunate. Is this on the Discord development roadmap?

3 years and still no news on HDR.

It's a very (admittingly not product breaking as there is no proper competitor to discord, yet) annoyance having to turn off my HDR whenever I want to share content with friends on our Discord server.

Discord pls

OK, well good news... HDR Streaming is working perfectly well for me using the Discord Experiment "HDR Screen Share: Treatment 1". You can only do this presently in the Discord Public Test Build version of the app, but here's how you enable it:

Part I: Enable "Experiments" menu in Public Test Build

Go to https://discord.com/download and scroll down the bottom and find "Feeling experimental?", then Download & Install the Discord Public Test Build.
Login, then press "CTRL + SHIFT + I" to open the web develop tool.
Find the Console tab at top right corner, click it.
Now you will see messages that tell you "never copy & paste something here, a malicious code could steal your account, and this is why they block this console from discord." You're going to have to trust me and ignore this.
Copy the code below, then paste it to the bottom of that console:

let wpRequire;
window.webpackChunkdiscord_app.push([[ Math.random() ], {}, (req) => { wpRequire = req; }]);
mod = Object.values(wpRequire.c).find(x => typeof x?.exports?.Z?.isDeveloper !== "undefined");
usermod = Object.values(wpRequire.c).find(x => x?.exports?.default?.getUsers)
nodes = Object.values(mod.exports.Z._dispatcher._actionHandlers._dependencyGraph.nodes)
try {
nodes.find(x => x.name == "ExperimentStore").actionHandler["OVERLAY_INITIALIZE"]({user: {flags: 1}})
} catch (e) {}
oldGetUser = usermod.exports.default.__proto__.getCurrentUser;
usermod.exports.default.__proto__.getCurrentUser = () => ({hasFlag: () => true})
nodes.find(x => x.name == "DeveloperExperimentStore").actionHandler["CONNECTION_OPEN"]()
usermod.exports.default.__proto__.getCurrentUser = oldGetUser
Press Enter.
Quit Discord, then fire it back up. Go to your settings cog icon, and you will now see an Experiments section.

Part II: Enable HDR Streaming Experiment

Once you're in the experiments menu, do a search for "HDR".
Choose the option "HDR Screen Capture"
Select Treatment 1 (this works for me, I'm not sure the difference between 1 and 2).

You can now start streaming in HDR without blown out color/brightness. It works great, and I really hope this can become standard in an upcoming release build! PLEASE, Discord!

I'm having the same issue, when I attempt to screen share literally anything with Windows HDR on it creates an extremely washed out image to the people I'm streaming, looks awful. I think it's the Windows setting specifically because when I turn it off it seems to work.

I messed around with it a bit more and it looks like discord is streaming what my screen looks like if I turn HDR off in my monitor settings, but keep the Windows 10 HDR setting on, I hope that helps.

Same issue. Washed out colors and very brigtht picture when sharing an application or my screen. Sometimes however, I can fix it, by turning of sharing and share it again. This just works when streaming the application not the screen/a window.
I am on a HDR10 monitor.

Hello, I stream from discord but when others are watching it’s super bright but on my end it looks fine, anyone know how to fix?

Still waiting for this! Please accelerate rollout D: I'm already been looking into enabling experiments, but that's something I'd rather not do or risk.

HDR on discord is nearly unwatchable.

It's honestly pretty unacceptable that HDR has yet to be supported. THIS HAS BEEN YEARS. All my friends can't stand to watch my streams because it's always extremely washed out. PLEASE roll this out ASAP.

This is an issue on Mac as well, even sharing Chrome results in washed out pages

Penguiin Are you sure you're "fixing it" when this happens, and not just accidentally disabling HDR?

I ask because I've had issues with Discord where after I start streaming a fullscreen application, something happens which makes the monitor no longer have HDR disabled (and actually, changes the refresh rate from 144hz to 82hz) and there's nothing I can do after that to set the monitor/HDR settings back besides reboot the entire machine.

You can check this by going to the graphics setting of a full-screen game, and see if the game changes your refresh rate or greys-out the HDR settings.

Yo fronc , I am very sure that it does not disable HDR. I am on a 144Hz monitor as well.
Note, that I can fix it while in window mode and streaming MTG: Arena f.e. it does not work with full screen applications like CS:GO. My monitor also does not change the refreshrate.

Do you have "Prefer Max. refresh Rate" in the Nvidia settings enabled?

I also do not entirely blame discord. Windows 10 handles HDR so aweful. On every pc start I quickly have to disable / enable HDR, otherwise colors, whites and blacks are horrible. Looks like there is some kind of "milky" filter applied. Altough i always keep my full system up to date.
Also, other softwares like OBS have the same problems.

Long time hdr user, remmber hdr is automatically disabled as soon as you come out of full screen mode, besides discord just doesent have enough bandwidth to support it fully same as twitch. youtube offer this option no other platform does apart from consoles have it natively built but its not true hdr out putting a 1000 nits and i take it were all pc users here all other types software what claims to do it is tone mapping with luds ive been streaming hdr with obs like this for years,untill a beta version of shadowplay came out have install another driver its still very buggy alpha stage and from my tests i think that is tone mapping as well i spoke to a suit over on twitch and he said it would be a minimum of 5 years to implement hdr not to mention a shit ton of money and coded from ground up and that was 1 year half ago . shame my friends and viewers cant see the beatiful visuals of my oled hdr screen that it out puts as for discord implementation of this guy's i wouldent hold my breath !

I second the request for HDR behaving in Screen share. Each time I screen share, classmates and friends all say that my screen flickers uncontrollable on their end until I disable it. This occurs on Microsoft Teams as well so I'm assuming its probably just difficult due to a higher data rate being needed to support HDR content.

Understandably, higher data rates that would be needed for HDR are expensive.

Bruh, HDR is a simple buffer configuration and conversion problem between sRGB and HDR. How is this likely 1 line code change not yet implemented? In OpenGL, you just use GL_RGB32F or GL_RGBA32F when creating the buffer. Vulkan has its equivalent I'm sure as well as DirectX, whatever they are, but the fix shouldn't take more than a week to implement in theory, and that's being generous. Nitro source has to be pushing all those pixels of 4k and 8k now somehow... but of course, that's just a matter of how aggressively the lossy compression is applied (or lossless if it's good enough and efficient).

Discord isn't owned by Microsoft, there is no information to support that. They had a bid on it, Discord refused to sell for now.

Back to HDR, I came here to seek a solution and it looks like it's not on their roadmap since it's been a while.

It can't be a difficult fix because it is only an issue when the window I'm streaming is in focus. If I click on any other window, my stream looks normal. Then I click on the streamed window and the brightness on the stream jumps back up to the point where it's almost unwatchable.

Please provide some sort of fix!! Everything is going the way of HDR now, and this doesn't seem to be a technical limitation.

Bumping this request. HDR monitors and content are becoming much more ubiquitous, making sharing them incredibly difficult if not impossible without completely disabling anything HDR which is a drag. I remember there being a thread a while back that there was a functional solution but it was hidden in experiments.

Also bumping this.... I check this exact thread every 6 months or so and cross my fingers... plz discord. plz.

That 'solution' does work WONDERS... completely removes the HDR washout issue present in all discord streams entirely... But why is it hidden away in the developer features?? plz release, discord.

The sad part:
This HDR support has been hiding in Dev mod, already now for over an year. It's nice to finally see some instructions from a user.
A users post earlier in this thread:
https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360044838292/comments/1500001143121

Unstable or not, roll it out!!! Make it a simple a toggle option under video options. This is overdue and ridiculous knowing it works, but has yet to be pushed into least canary, for soo long too.

24/05/2023 18:37

Kinda sad but my friends and myself don't even screen share anymore with eachother because of this. It sucks to have to toggle hdr off whenever you're already mid game and a friend wants to watch. So we don't disable it, resulting in a very pathetic viewer experience

This problem is only going to get worse as more and more and more monitors/tvs have HDR support. Crazy we haven't even heard rumors of an official fix yet.

We need a fix for this ASAP! Why is this still an issue? We want our streams not to be a blinding white light when streaming when we use HDR. Upcoming technology HDR is going to be the norm. We need a solution!
