But first, check whether you're dealing with <a href=\"https:\/\/discordstatus.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">server problems.<\/a> If this is the case, there's really nothing you can do other than sit back and wait for the Discord team to take care of things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you're up for it, you can contact the Discord support team about the issue. They should be able to tell you when it would be solved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that out of the way, let's get into some other fixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Solution_1_Disable_Hardware_Acceleration\"><\/span>Solution 1: Disable Hardware Acceleration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you're using Discord on your computer, I first have to advise you to try and disable hardware acceleration. Although it helps with rendering, it can potentially cause a black screen while streaming on Discord. This isn't just true for HBO Max, but other streaming services and any type of content too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here's how you can disable hardware acceleration on Google Chrome:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Open Google Chrome<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on the horizontal ellipsis menu button that's on the top right<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select Settings, and then System<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Toggle Use hardware acceleration when available off<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here's how you can go ahead with disabling hardware acceleration on Mozilla Firefox:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Open Firefox<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click Firefox<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select Preferences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on the General Panel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Uncheck Use Recommended Performance Settings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Toggle the Hardware Acceleration When Available Button<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Solution_2_Restart_Device\"><\/span>Solution 2: Restart Device<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the above didn't work, I'd advise you to try and restart your device. There might be some glitch on it that's not letting you stream on the Discord app properly. On phones, you can actually force restart if the regular restart doesn't work. You can think of it as a more comprehensive reboot method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to Androids, you just long hold the Power button for around 10 seconds to force restart. But on iPhones, there are a few more steps to try.

Does HBO Max Allow Screen Sharing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>HBO Max does allow screen sharing on a bunch of different third-party services. As I mentioned, you can easily share HBO max on Discord. But you can even end up sharing what you're watching on platforms like Zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Why_Cant_I_Hear_HBO_Max_on_Discord\"><\/span>2. Why Can't I Hear HBO Max on Discord?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You probably have the voice channel muted, or your volume really low. You can unmute the channel by right-clicking your name and then unchecking the mute box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_How_Do_You_Buy_Discord_Nitro\"><\/span>3. How Do You Buy Discord Nitro?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since you can only change your stream quality if you're a Nitro user, I thought about telling you how to buy the Discord subscription.

But the thing is, you can't change the stream's quality unless you go ahead and subscribe to Nitro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know a few users who have faced a black screen when streaming HBO max on Discord. This problem is easy to fix, as you usually can get rid of it and start the HBO Max party by turning hardware acceleration off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But also, you can fix this and start streaming movies again by restarting your device or updating your OS too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully, you found all of the points that were run through useful and can watch movies with your friends now.
