Discord now properly supports screensharing on linux

Oh awesome, I’ve been using the webcord version as the others were all shit for screen sharing. Having said that even webcord also has weird sound issue sim hoping are fixed with this.

I've been screen sharing from discord on hyprland for months, it wasn't already working?

When do they stop selling user data? Next patch?

Fuck Discord! 🙂

I was almost convinced they were keeping this broken on purpose, it's been broken so long. Like, years long.

It was broken so long I honestly wouldn't have been surprised if news surfaced that Discord was taking back-handers from Microsoft under the table to keep it broken. With steam working so well on Linux now, broken discord streaming without actual working audio share was one of the last things that posed a hurdle for gamers ditching Windows.

(In the meantime, thank you Vesktop for your service <3)

Took them long enough

But still doesn't accept my legitimate phone number, which is mandatory now.

And yes, vesktop did it first, but discord's version is quite a bit more polished

That's about time.. I won't be uninstalling vesktop tho

This is past due, I use Vencord.

Oh my fuck, finally. Good lord Discord, only took you eons to get that working with Wayland after you broke it.

I get that there's other things like Discord out there, but nothing works like Discord.

Vencord has had it forever. Just a community discord flathub.

About fucking time

Just installed Canary on my system to test this, and while it's a little janky and the hardware acceleration seems to stop other apps using the GPU at the same time this is still good enough I think I can finally move to Linux as my main OS. I assume this will get polished further in the future. Great stuff though.

I like their UX, the button doesn't say "Share screen" but "Make Selection". On Element my dad every time has such a hard time to share the screen because even though he did it already a hundred times, he presses the share screen button and then waits, without choosing which window or screen to share.

now fix push to talk which is arguable far more important

thank FUCK

Finally! =D

Too late for those Nimrods.
Just use vencord or something that worked for ages.

Does that works for Wayland or X? or both?
Quite nice feature indeed.

Finally, Tho i dont use the desktop app anymore. (Hint electron)

What about audio sharing?

Oh my god, it's happening!

Did they also finally fix the AFK detection on Wayland?

The bigger Discord becomes, the more irrelevant it is to me.

Oh sweet jesus, it's finally happening! Huzzah! Rejoice!

Finally. I had it working after a bunch of workarounds recently, but it was not really stable.

Always remember, this is what we all deserve for using closed source apps.

Yay I can finally uninstall Vesktop

i don't use it because my laptop is a toshiba from 2006 i think and it runs xubuntu which is pretty cool!! but discord runs a little bit slow so sadly no screensharing and anyway for most of my friends i use email to talk to them

Great! Now I just need global shortcuts.

Wayland and audio is fixed, but only on the canary branch

I've been using the canary branch exclusively for about a year because of audio issues on the main one, I would genuinely be ecstatic if they finally ported over the fix because for some reason the canary branch refuses to auto upgrade and I have to do it manually every time.

Finally

Goofcord gang rise up

Woooo yeah baby I love Discord

Sorry but I don't really care about discord news on Linux...
