FAQ

Discord questions

Iriun not working on Discord — camera spins/loads forever

Discord is having trouble initialising the virtual camera. Fix: close Discord completely (system tray), make sure Iriun PC client is running and phone is connected, then reopen Discord and try again. If persistent, reboot Windows.

Can I use Iriun for Discord screen share too?

Iriun provides the camera feed only — it does not affect Discord screen sharing. You can use both simultaneously: Iriun for your webcam video and Discord screen share for your screen.
