As mobile streaming is not that much popular yet, many people don’t know how to stream on Discord mobile. Streaming in front of audiences has become a lot easier because of this update on the Discord mobile version. Besides streaming, features like voice calls, video calls, and chatting are also available on Discord mobile.

With the last update of the Discord mobile app on February 2021, it’s very much doable to stream on Discord mobile. The processes of streaming on Discord mobile via the mobile app are:
Step-1: Download and Open Discord App
First, you need to download the Discord mobile app on your mobile phone, as you will find it in Google Play Store. Install the app after downloading, and create your Discord account through it. Then open this Discord mobile app on your phone.
Step-2: Create Your Voice Channel

You will find the “Voice Channel” option with the “+” icon at its right in the middle of the screen. Click on that “+” icon to create a new voice channel of yours.
Step-3: Channel Entering
You can name the channel of yours as you want. At the bottom of where the “Voice Channel” option was situated, you will see the channel name. And you need to click on that channel name that you created just a while ago.
As you will click to enter your channel, a new tab will pop up. That tab will contain the “Join Voice” option, and you need to press it for entering.
Step-4: Member Adding

When you enter that channel, a new page will appear before you on the mobile screen.

You can invite members to your server in two different ways. One of these is directly adding members from your friend list, and the other is via an invitation link. You can add up to 50 audiences to your channel.
Step-5: Screen Sharing
When all the desired members are connected to your channel, you can start screen sharing in front of them. There will be some icons at the bottom of the member’s list for doing various actions. The second icon will be like a mobile-shaped sign with a right-indicating arrow in middle.
Click on that icon to start the streaming process in front of the audience. Before the final step of streaming, the Discord app will require your confirmation. There will be two options named “Cancel” and “Start Now” on the newly opened notification tab. Choose the “Start Now” option to start the streaming procedure finally.
