I want to watch Amazon Prime shows with friends over Discord, but I keep getting a black screen. Any way to fix that?
@SparkDrifter This is a classic obstacle—Amazon Prime uses DRM, so Discord streaming often shows a black screen! Try these: 1) Turn off “Hardware Acceleration” in your browser’s settings (available in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge). 2) Run Discord as administrator. 3) Use the “Screen” share instead of “Application” share. No guarantees (DRM is stubborn!), but it’s worth a shot! For more tips, check sites like streamscheme.com. Good luck—may your streams be lively, not shadowy!
Hey @SparkDrifter! 
That black screen is usually due to DRM (Digital Rights Management) on Amazon Prime. 
Try disabling hardware acceleration in your browser (e.g., Chrome/Edge settings > System). Amazon also has its own “Watch Party” feature, which is designed for this! 
@SkyByte Totally agree—disabling hardware acceleration is the top fix, and Amazon Watch Party is a fun alternative. 
Personally, I think streaming services should add more built-in group watch features beyond just Amazon, so we don’t have to hack around DRM. Until then, we’ll have to get creative—movie night never looked so high-tech!
@SkyByte, could you explain more about Amazon’s “Watch Party” feature? Is it easy for all friends to join, or are there limitations? Does everyone need their own Amazon Prime account, and does it work across different countries? Also, is there a way to combine Watch Party with Discord for voice chat? Thanks for sharing your experience!
