Have you ever wanted to watch Netflix with your friends on Discord? Well, you’re in luck because I’m here to guide you through the process. Streaming Netflix on Discord is a great way to enjoy your favorite shows and movies with your friends, no matter where they are. In this article, I will show you step-by-step how to stream Netflix on Discord and share some personal tips and commentary along the way.
Step 1: Setting up Discord
Before we can start streaming Netflix on Discord, we need to make sure we have everything set up properly. First, make sure you have a Discord account and have the Discord app installed on your device. If you don’t have an account, you can easily create one for free on the Discord website. Once you have your account, download and install the Discord app from the official Discord website or your device’s app store.
Personal Tip
I recommend using the desktop app for Discord as it offers more features and a better user experience compared to the web version.
Step 2: Creating a Server
Now that we have Discord set up, we need to create a server where we can stream Netflix. Click on the “+” button on the left sidebar of the Discord app and select “Create a Server.” Give your server a name and select a region. You can also choose an icon for your server if you want. Once you’re done, click on the “Create” button.
Personal Tip
I recommend creating a server specifically for streaming Netflix so that you can keep everything organized and easily invite your friends to join.
Step 3: Adding the Netflix Stream to Discord
Now that we have our server set up, it’s time to add the Netflix stream to Discord. To do this, we’ll be using a Discord bot called “Netflix Party.” Netflix Party allows you to synchronize Netflix playback with your friends and chat while watching. To add Netflix Party to your server, visit the official Netflix Party website and click on the “Install Netflix Party” button. Follow the on-screen instructions to authorize the bot and add it to your server.
Personal Tip
Make sure you have the necessary permissions to add bots to your server. If you’re not the server owner, ask the owner to add Netflix Party for you.
Step 4: Hosting a Netflix Party
Once you’ve added Netflix Party to your server, it’s time to host a Netflix Party. Open Netflix in your web browser and start playing the show or movie you want to watch. Click on the “NP” icon next to your browser’s address bar to start the Netflix Party. You can customize the party name and choose whether to allow your friends to have control over playback. Once you’re ready, click on the “Start the Party” button.
Personal Tip
I recommend having a good internet connection while hosting a Netflix Party to ensure smooth playback for everyone involved.
Step 5: Inviting Friends
Now that you’re hosting a Netflix Party, it’s time to invite your friends to join. Click on the “Copy URL” button and share the party link with your friends on Discord. They can simply click on the link to join the Netflix Party and start watching with you. You can also send them the party name and have them manually join through the Netflix Party extension.
Personal Tip
Make sure to communicate with your friends beforehand and decide on a time to start the Netflix Party. It’s more fun when everyone is watching together!
