Discord streaming broken with WoW

Hey there. This isn’t a massive issue but still a slight annoyance to say the least.

My friend group occasionally likes to just stream games while we chill on voice, but it appears that somewhere between two weeks ago and yesterday Discord streaming runs into some issues with WoW. What happens is that if WoW isn’t the focused window, the stream will revert back to the moment I started streaming, freeze there, and show people my Discord window as well (despite only streaming the game rather than my entire screen). I play in windowed and still see the game running on my end, it’s not frozen or anything, just the stream itself.

The reason I post this issue here rather than ask Discord about it (though I do plan to do that as well just to be sure) is that any other game we’ve tried works fine, including other Blizzard games. For reference, the games we’ve tried are Diablo 3, Overwatch, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, Final Fantasy XIV, Life is Strange and even Classic WoW works fine. This leads me to believe the issue is with BfA WoW. I do recall my client downloading a small update a few days ago. Perhaps that messed something up?

I have a single monitor setup (I know, ancient times and all that) so occasionally tabbing out to say, read discord, is kinda unavoidable. Things are fine when I tab back into WoW again, hence why I say it isn’t a huge issue, but it still seems like something to fix.

Heya Tyrinne,

Interesting issue for sure but sadly not one that we would be able to troubleshoot through technical support. It would be best to reach out to Discord on this as if the game is still running with only the stream frozen, that would be something on their end.

Additionally, streaming setups are not something we here at customer support can help out with as its an optional thing. If you do want to report the issue though, best bet is via the in game bug report feature as that will send the report directly to the developers who make the game.

Hopefully it’s something that can be fixed up soon at least so you can get back to streaming some fun BFA adventures :slight_smile:
