2. Turn off Hardware Acceleration on Browser: Fixes Black Screen Issues to stream Amazon Prime Video on Discord.

People’s most common issue while streaming Amazon Prime Video on discord is the black screen issue. When you stream any content on Discord with Amazon Prime Video as the source, you only see the black screen and nothing else on the receiving side.

If you don’t want to see a black screen while watching Amazon Prime Video on Discord, turn off hardware acceleration in your browser. In this guide, We’ve included instructions for disabling hardware acceleration on three common browsers, Google Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. You can use your preferred browser to complete the instructions. If you’re using a browser that isn’t listed above, go to its Settings and look for hardware acceleration, then turn it off.

Below are the ways you can disable hardware acceleration on the most common browsers:

Steps to Disable Hardware Acceleration on Google Chrome:

1. Open Chrome and select ‘Settings‘ from the vertical three-dot menu in the upper right corner.
2. In the left sidebar, go to the ‘System‘ tab, then to ‘Advanced‘ options, and turn off the toggle that says ‘Use hardware acceleration when available.’ And after disabling the toggle, restart Chrome.

Steps to Disable Hardware Acceleration on Microsoft Edge:

1. Open Microsoft Edge and go to ‘Settings’ by clicking on the horizontal three dots menu in the upper right corner.
2. On the settings page, click on ‘System‘ and turn off the ‘Use hardware acceleration when available‘ toggle inside system settings. After that, restart your Edge browser to watch Amazon Prime Video on Discord without getting a black screen.

Disable Hardware Acceleration on Mozilla Firefox:

1. Firefox users have to select ‘Options‘ from the hamburger menu (Horizontal three lines), located near the upper right corner of the browser.
2. Under the ‘General‘ tab, scroll down until you reach the ‘Performance‘ area. Here you’ll see a checkbox labeled ‘Use suggested performance settings.’ Uncheck it, and another checkbox for deactivating hardware acceleration will appear. Uncheck the item that says, ‘Use hardware acceleration when available.’

3. Play Amazon Prime Video on Browser and Set-up Discord for Streaming

You’re ready to stream Amazon Prime Video for pals on Discord now that you’ve deactivated hardware acceleration. To get started with setting up Discord for streaming use the following steps:

1. On the browser of your choice, launch Amazon Prime Video and play your favorite movie or TV show. Once you do this, pause the movie or tv show and launch Discord.
   
2. Inside the discord app, navigate to the ‘Gear‘ icon next to the name on the bottom left corner. Doing this will launch discord settings.
   
3. On the Settings page, Go to the ‘Activity Status‘ tab in the left sidebar and click the ‘Add it!‘ button next to ‘Not seeing your game?‘
4. After this, you will see a dropdown menu with the list of all the apps running in the background.
5. Pick your browser and add it to the game list manually.
6. Go to the server where you wish to watch the movie or TV show, and then click the ‘Stream‘ icon above your username. Alternatively, you can join a voice channel and then use the ‘Share screen‘ option in the bottom left to select the browser you’re using to view Amazon Prime.
   
7. Set the resolution and the voice channel you’d like to host the movie. If you don’t have Discord Nitro, you can only stream in 720p at 30 frames per second. You’ll need Discord Nitro membership to be able to stream Amazon Prime Video on discord in 1080p/60fps.
8. After picking the channel, you want to stream in, click on the ‘Go Live‘ Button and start streaming the movie or show that you wish to stream.
9. Once you are done, other members of the server can click on the ‘Live‘ button inside the voice channels, and now you can have your own Amazon Prime Video party on discord itself.
   
10. If you wish to end the watch party, then click on the end call button, and you will be able to end the watch party for all the members inside the voice channel.

How to watch Amazon Prime Video on Discord on Fire TV Stick / Android TV

To watch Amazon Prime Video with friends on discord on your Fire TV stick, you will have to set up the movie or show on Amazon Prime Video and then go live on discord as we did above. As soon as you set up the discord call, all you have to do is connect your PC to your TV.

The usual way to do this is to use an HDMI cable and connect it to the TV. This works well, but the only issue with this method is that nobody has an HDMI cable long enough to video chat and watch movies simultaneously.

We can use the Miracast or Chromecast function on the Smart TV or Fire TV stick to fix this. I’ll be doing this on a fire tv stick, but you can also do this on an Android smart TV. Here’s how you do it.

Steps to set up Watch Party on TV or Fire TV Stick

1. Use the Alexa button on your Amazon Fire TV Remote and say “Air screen”.
2. Now you will see a list of apps, choose the first one and download the Air screen app on your Fire TV Stick. If you are on an android tv then you can download the same via the play store.
3. Once done, now open the air screen app. This will enable services like Chromecast and Miracast on your fire tv stick or android tv properly. If you have a tv with these facilities built-in then you can skip using this app, but I will still recommend using this app as it’s really robust.
4. Once done, you can now use the Air screen app to mirror your PC on Android TV. Now the trick is to set up the whole system that we created earlier which lets us use Amazon Prime Video on discord and then screencast.
5. Set up the Amazon Prime Video watch party on your PC. Now click on the action center on the bottom right side of your windows PC and click on Project. You can also select “Connect” and directly choose the device of your choice.
6. Now select your TV/Fire TV stick from the list.
7. Done, now you can host a watch party on discord using your firestick.
8. Using this method, you will be able to use your PC’s webcam and mic to talk to your friends and at the same time watch the movie on the big screen along with their voice.
