how to stream itv on discord on edge
You can usually stream ITV/ITVX in Discord on Edge by turning off hardware acceleration in Edge, then sharing the browser window in Discord instead of your whole screen.
Quick Scoop
- Open Microsoft Edge and go to ITV/ITVX.
- In Edge, open Settings → System and performance and disable Use hardware acceleration when available , then restart Edge.
- Open Discord on desktop, join a voice channel, and click Share Your Screen.
- Choose the Edge window that is playing ITV/ITVX, not the full desktop, and start streaming.
- If you still get a black screen, also disable hardware acceleration in Discord itself under User Settings → Advanced.
Why this helps
Streaming services often trigger a black screen when a browser uses protected playback or graphics acceleration, and Edge-specific guidance for ITVX points to checking protected content settings and disabling hardware acceleration. Discord’s own screen-share flow also recommends selecting the application window you want to stream.
Things to watch
- You may need to use the desktop app for Discord rather than only the web version for the smoothest result.
- Some content may still refuse to display because of browser or service protections, even after the usual fixes.
- If the browser still fails, try a private window or a fresh Edge profile to rule out extension issues, which are commonly mentioned in troubleshooting discussions.
Tiny example
If ITVX opens in one Edge tab, join a Discord voice channel, click Share Your Screen , pick the Edge application window, and then enable Also share application audio so your friends can hear it too.
TL;DR: disable Edge hardware acceleration, restart Edge, then stream the Edge window in Discord’s voice channel.
