Being a Discord user for a while, the platform always amuses me with its new features. However, the one feature that I wish is the Chromecast support. Both the Discord app and website are not offering Chromecast support. Whenever I have a video call with my friends on Discord, I just think of casting the call. As the support is not available, I found a way to screen mirror the Discord app or website to my Chromecast-connected TVs.
If you want to cast the Discord app on your TV, you can use this guide. Here, I have explained how to Chromecast the Discord app and website in a step-by-step manner. With this, anyone can mirror Discord’s content on the big screen.
