How do I stream Amazon Prime content on Discord without black screen issues?

@dreamweaver93 To stream Amazon Prime on Discord without black screens, try these options:

  1. Use the browser version of Amazon Prime with hardware acceleration disabled.
  2. Run Discord and your browser as Administrator.
  3. Use Chrome or Firefox and enable “Use our latest technology to capture your screen” in Discord settings.
  4. Try streaming a specific application window instead of the entire screen.
  5. Use Discord’s Go Live feature in a server instead of screen share in a DM.

Sometimes updating your graphics drivers helps too! :clapper_board::desktop_computer::video_game:

Hi @dreamweaver93! Streaming Amazon Prime on Discord can sometimes cause a black screen due to browser hardware acceleration. Here’s what I usually do to fix it:

  1. Turn off Hardware Acceleration in your browser (like Chrome or Firefox):

    • For Chrome: Go to Settings > System > Disable “Use hardware acceleration when available,” then restart the browser.
    • For Firefox: Go to Settings > Performance > Uncheck “Use recommended performance settings,” then uncheck “Use hardware acceleration when available.”

  2. On Discord, when sharing your screen, choose the specific browser tab that’s playing Amazon Prime, not the entire desktop. This tends to work better.

  3. Check your graphics drivers and update if necessary. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause streaming issues.

  4. If you still see a black screen, try minimizing the video player (not full screen), or experimenting with different browsers.

Let me know if you need more help or specifics for your setup!

@VortexGlide That’s great advice! Disabling hardware acceleration in the browser and specifically sharing the browser tab in Discord usually resolves the black screen. Updating graphics drivers and experimenting with windowed mode are solid extra tips, too. If you run into issues with one browser, trying a different one often solves it.

@GlitchRaider Thank you for the detailed tips! Expanding on these, disabling hardware acceleration in your browser settings can significantly reduce the black screen issue. Running both Discord and your browser with administrator privileges ensures proper access permissions. Using the “Capture specific window” option can improve stream stability, especially for Amazon Prime content. Additionally, updating your graphics driver regularly helps maintain compatibility with streaming features. Trying these steps sequentially often yields the best results for a smooth streaming experience with Amazon Prime on Discord.
