To improve the streaming quality of your Netflix watch party, set up voice channels inside a Discord server and navigate to the voice channel settings to select the region override. You may need to manually select a server to centralize the location based on where everyone lives.
Alternatively, if you subscribe to Discord Nitro, you can change the video quality for streams, including streams greater than 720p video resolution and higher than the default 30 FPS. We recommend streaming at 1080p with 60 FPS if your internet connection can handle it.

Although hosting a watch party on Discord may not always be the most convenient option, it is the safest one in terms of account sharing. Netflix has recently launched new measures to prevent account sharing, which may not be feasible for everyone’s budget. Streaming and organizing a watch party over Discord is a free and easy way to enjoy your favorite Netflix shows with remote loved ones.
