It's already a popular feature for desktop, and now it's coming to mobile. Discord should allow mobile screen sharing for users. Android. The new feature is already in the testing phase and is available in beta. The tool works in calls and also in group chats, allowing the user to show other applications running in real time on their cell phone to participants in the same call.

Step by step

The screen sharing tool appears as a new icon in the bottom bar of the application, between the camera and microphone buttons. To start sharing, simply click on the 'try it' link and then a confirmation dialog box will open.

Discord is also concerned with preserving user privacy, as the application displays a series of warnings before starting the screen broadcast. The purpose is to alert users to sensitive information that may be mistakenly shared in group calls. To effectively share the screen, all the user has to do is click on 'start now'.

An interesting option is that it is possible for the user to pin an application and switch to other things without showing it. A very useful feature for example when streaming a game on Discord.

Stopping quickly, such as in emergencies or indiscretions, is easy. The app has also added a button in the center of the screen for this. In addition, the interface has received a slide-out menu that includes additional options such as changing the audio source. There is also a button to toggle between video and voice calls, another to mute and unmute the microphone, and a button to end the call.

Discord is a text, audio and video chat app that became very popular during the pandemic, but is already well-known among gamers. In addition to having text, audio and video chat tools, it has a server system that allows you to create online communities. The app that can be downloaded for free is also available on PC, Android and iOS.
