Does anybody know of a way to use their IPTV service to watch together with friends besides screen sharing? I wanted to watch some sports with friends and I hate that when I use discord, there’s lots of frame drops and quality issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
One thing I found that helps for sharing an IPTV stream on Discord is to use OBS as an intermediary.
Instead of sharing the IPTV window directly into Discord, I capture the IPTV window in OBS to send the output of that as a virtual webcam stream, which I then share to Discord.

That seems to help with the framerate.
Extra points if you pay for Nitro to bump up the stream quality.
How easy is this to do?
It takes maaaybe another 5-10 mins to set up, its very easy.
