Hide Discord Stream Preview (Stop Mirror)

Discord can show a stream preview that mirrors what you are watching or sharing. Turn it off when you do not want chat or nested windows bouncing back onto a captured display.

Turn preview distractions down

  1. Enable Streamer Mode and disable notifications and sounds.
  2. Leave voice/video in a non-captured window — or quit Discord if chat lives in OBS.
  3. Do not put Discord on the same monitor you display-capture unless you must.

Still leaking?

Preview off does not hide DMs on a captured desktop. Pair with hiding Discord messages while streaming and a one-click desktop clear.
