iPad: Attempted to start an invalid broadcast session

I've had this issue since I bought my ipad back in 2020, where anytime I try to screenshare, I get this message: "Live Broadcast to ______ has stopped due to: Attempted to start an invalid broadcast session"

I get this message no matter what program I'm using, whether it be to Discord, Elgato Screen Link, etc.

Is there any way to fix this? I scrolled google for hours last night, clicking every link, trying every fix from rotating the screen, to going through discord's settings of Voice & Video (However, I can only access discords "voice" settings on my ipad, not voice & Video)

I'm an artist on the side and just wanted to be able to screen share so I can stream drawing on Twitch through procreate, my friends like to watch me draw on discord. Is there any explanation or fix for this issue?

BailsThePotato,


Thanks for clarifying. Going forward, have you had a chance to confirm that all the apps you're working with has access to hardware features on your iPad?


If not, take a look at the steps below from the following resource that can help: Control access to hardware features on iPad - Apple Support


Review or change access to the camera, microphone, and other hardware features
1. Go to Settings  > Privacy.
2. Tap a hardware feature, such as Camera, Bluetooth, Local Network, or Microphone.
The list shows the apps that requested access. You can turn access on or off for any app on the list.


If still having issues after going through the steps above, we'd recommend reaching out to Apple Support directly from this link here: Get Support - Apple


Regards.

Hey BailsThePotato,


We'd be happy to point you in the best direction for support. Sounds like you're having issues broadcasting/sharing your screen while using Discord on iPad.


Since this isn't an app developed by Apple though, it'd probably be best to work with Discord support on this matter.


For more help, check out their official support page for Screenshare here:

We hope this helps out.


Take care!
