Stream Amazon Prime on Discord (2023)

Before you ask, how to stream Amazon Prime on Discord mobile apps? Let me say it right off the bat. You can’t stream Amazon Prime on Discord’s mobile apps, including iOS and Android, due to DRM limitations. However, you can easily share your screen on Discord mobile. That said, here’s how you can watch Amazon Prime movies and TV shows with your friends on Discord.

Download Discord App

Installing on a computer is easy! Go to the Discord.com page. The website will auto-detect that you’re on a Windows, Linux or an Apple device and provide you the appropriate download option.
