It is possible to watch movies via discord.

Discord Streaming
An interesting aspect of Discord streaming is that you can stream a movie or TV show, leave the camera on, and show your friends your reactions to what is happening on the screen.
Screen sharing x watching a movie = a violation of the terms of the agreement?
First, let me conclude.
Using screen sharing to share movies and dramas with non-paying members is against Netflix and Prime video's terms of service.
Let's take a quick look at the terms of service for each service.
You agree that you will not archive, reproduce, or otherwise use any content or information contained in, obtained from, or through the Netflix service in any way that is unlawful or prohibited by the Netflix Terms of Service. You agree not to distribute, alter, display, perform, publish, license, create derivative works from, offer for sale, or use (except as expressly permitted in these Terms of Use).
Viewing videos through screen sharing by non-paying members constitutes "distribution," "performance," or "use" as defined in these TOS, and is therefore a violation of the TOS.
Therefore, it should be a violation of the Terms of Service for other video distribution services to allow non-paying members to view videos through screen sharing.
In other words, no matter which tool you use for screen sharing (Zoom/Skype/GoogleMeet/Line, etc.), you are not allowed to watch a movie or drama with your friends or loved ones at the same time through screen sharing.
In fact, no one will know if you do this, but the picture and sound quality will obviously be lower than normal viewing, and the playback speed will be slower, making it much harder to watch.
Therefore, if you want to watch movies remotely, you can use the following method for members only^.
Teleparty(Netflix Party)
As mentioned above, unfortunately, it was not possible to watch movies simultaneously via screen sharing.
However, Netflix has a better solution!
By using the Google extension "Teleparty (Netflix Party)," you can watch videos simultaneously only between members.
It used to be called Netflix Party, but was renamed to Teleparty, because not only NetFlix, but also Hulu and Disney+ can now use this Teleparty to share screens among members.
However, in Japan, only NetFlix is supported so far.
The "Tereparty Terms of Use
- All members must be Netflix members.
- Use Google chrome.
- Extend the functionality by clicking here ("Add to chrome")
Tereparty How to use the
How to use
- Login to NetFlix or register as a member
- Play the video you want to watch on Netflix
- Click the "NP" icon in the upper right corner of Chrome to create a party.
- Click the "Start the Party" button and a shared link will appear.
- Share the link with people who want to see it (up to 50 people)
- A video will appear in the center and a chat box will appear on the right side.
By using "[Tereparty]", you can stop and play videos at the same time and watch the same video at the same time.
However, "Tereparty" does not allow calls, only chats.
If you want to watch a video while talking to the other person, it is better to use it while talking on LINE, etc.
