Can you stream Netflix on Discord?

Yes, you can stream Netflix on Discord as long as you meet the minimum requirements to do so.

The first requirement that goes without saying is that you must have an active Netflix plan. Second, you need a Discord server where you can stream your content. You can create your own server if you don’t already have access to one. You don’t need a Nitro subscription to stream Netflix on Discord, but without one, the quality of your stream will be limited.

With all those requirements met, you can simply access Netflix in the web browser of your Windows or Mac machine and stream the content from that browser on your Discord server.
