Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause compatibility issues with streaming.

Try running Discord as an administrator. Right-click the Discord icon and select 'Run as Administrator'. This fixes lots of weird issues for me.

If you're using Windows, make sure Game Mode is turned off. It can sometimes interfere with Discord screen sharing.

My hot take: Switch to screen share only specific windows. Full screen streams are overrated and cause too many problems!
