This looks awesome. Is there any further work that needs to be done on this and is there an ETA on when it will be merged?

Yes, there is. Currently, it uses ur entire system audio (including discord), which means viewers can hear themselves in your stream. Additionally, currently it's not possible to customise resolution & fps. And the ui also needs to be improved

ETA is whenever it's done :P No idea, whenever I find time & motivation to work on it

[TeaSpillStudios]

Alright, thanks for answering!

Are you guys planning to fix this or is there a roadblock in the way that prevents this from working?

Fair enough, I wasn't trying to ask about an ETA but that's still a fair enough answer..

[ELHIFFROST]

so, when is a BETA going to be available?

[enderpuff]

Will this work on linux? It would be great if you guys could do that, as not even the official client seems to work right now, and i have to use a separate client to make screen sharing work at all (discord-screenaudio)

I second this. That's why I'm also curious about Wayland screensharing and audio.

[Vendicated]

It just uses electron's screenshare api. It either works or doesn't work. If it doesn't work, I won't go an extra mile to somehow fix it as there are multiple other projects that focus on this already

[ardishko]

Tried on Wayland, does not work. This is basically a "won't fix" type of deal so Wayland users are taking another L today. May god bless pipewire screensharing.

Also the audio is only for Windows so that's kinda sad for all Linux users.

Well, yes, you are right but I think I speak for the most of us when I say that most people aren't a big fan of having another Discord client open just to screenshare properly.

You aren't obligated to do anything about this of course but I just wanted to let you know that it isn't completely pointless.
