Discord screen share bug

[noahfrusha]

i tried for assistance on the discord page but the format for filling out a bug report doesnt fit for my issue so im reaching out here since this is the only other place i really know of and have had good help in the past.
so my issue is when ever im screen sharing content on chrome, netflix and crunchyroll specifically, the video feed itself is black but you can see the subtitles and the audio goes through just fine, the temporary solution ive found is if i reinstall my video drivers it works for one stream only. as soon as i end the stream and start up another i have to redo the whole fix all over again

This is working by design as a method of copy protection. Otherwise, people would be able to share a single video streaming account among 20 people via Discord screensharing, which is coincidentally a violation of both Discord & most streaming services Terms of Use.

thats lame as hell, all im doing is watching tv with my girlfriend

edit: also that may be the case but it works perfectly fine when she or my brother screenshares
edit2: also i dont see the issue when since covid is a thing, i cant enjoy watching parties with friends and its not like they have access to the account, its todays equivalent of watching together in the same room
