How to stream anime on Discord

Short answer

Stay in the Discord voice channel and have each person open the same anime on their own account. AniDachi keeps those players on the same moment. Sending the player through Go Live makes one person the broadcaster, and Crunchyroll often goes black.

Frequently asked questions

How do you stream anime on Discord?

Join a Discord voice channel, have each person open the same episode on their own account in desktop Chrome, and sync those tabs with AniDachi. Go Live shares one window and often blacks out Crunchyroll.

Can Discord play Crunchyroll by itself?

Discord can share a window. It does not give each friend a Crunchyroll player. The Crunchyroll-specific black-screen note is on the stream Crunchyroll page.

What about YouTube anime?

A full youtube.com/watch page can be synced the same way. Shorts, embeds, and the YouTube mobile app are not supported.

Does everyone need their own account?

Yes for Crunchyroll. AniDachi does not share one login. Each person needs their own access to the episode.
