Troubleshooting

Reinstall Discord. Uninstall the Discord app from your computer. Redownload the newest version of Discord on the website. Discord updates automatically upon launch if there is an update available.

Refresh discord. If Discord is unresponsive, you can refresh the app. On Windows, use CTRL + R to quickly refresh. On Mac, use CMD + R.

Restart your computer. Some computers may just need a simple restart to work properly. On Windows, open the Start menu. Click the power button, then Restart. On Mac, select the Apple menu, then Restart.

Use a different browser. If your friends are seeing a black screen, try using a different web browser. You'll need to add the new browser in your Discord's Registered Games.

Close unnecessary apps. If you have too many apps running in the background, this may slow down your stream. Some apps may continue running in the background even after closing them. Be sure to adjust the application's settings to quit after closing the app.
