You cannot watch two live streams at the same time on a single Discord mobile device. The only workaround to watch two streams on Discord mobile is to use two separate devices, such as a phone and a tablet.
Can you watch two streams on Discord mobile?
No. The official help pages only cover starting and stopping a single mobile screen share. There is no supported two-stream viewing mode or documented control to switch between two simultaneous streams.
How to watch a single stream on Discord mobile
To watch one stream, follow these official steps.
- Open the App Store or Google Play Store to check for updates. Update the Discord mobile app.
- Join a voice channel or start a voice call from a direct message. The screen-share option appears only after you are in a voice channel or call.
- Tap the user icon of the individual whose stream you wish to view to open a menu with streaming options.
- Select the specific screen or application to share when starting a stream. Use the small tab at the bottom of the screen to view more options, then tap Share Your Screen. (Older instructions say to swipe up from the bottom of the screen.) After you tap it, Discord shows your device’s own confirmation prompt to begin sharing.
To switch streams, tap the user icon corresponding to the stream you want to switch to.
Why simultaneous streams aren't supported on mobile
Discord’s official mobile help pages do not describe a “watch two streams” mode. The technical constraints of mobile screen sharing, such as device processing power, network bandwidth, and the single-screen interface, mean the app is designed for one active stream at a time.
