Vesktop is a custom Discord App with an aim to give better performance and support on Linux.

v1.5.2 fixes various audio issues related to screensharing and also overhauls video streaming with various fixes/improvements:

  • Fix resolution and framerate selection
  • Fix bug that stops users from changing the streamed window (created by allowing resolution changes)
  • Fix bug where changing windows allows you to lower the fps but not raise it
  • Beautify modal for starting a stream(show preview and content type as a dropdown)
  • Fix issue where stream quality overlay does not update to show the current quality of the running stream
  • Enable contentHint and allow the user to choose between “motion” and “detail”
  • Allow users to start streams while watching another stream

      Not at all! Developers should stay away from that abomination, especially open-source devs.

    Screen sharing in Discord didn’t work on Linux? Works for me? Or what am I missing?

    I have been looking for a way to control my computer from the couch, using my phone… But this also isn’t it. VNC just doesn’t work yet with Wayland, unfortunately. And Rustdesk also didn’t quite work, last time I tried it.

        Also a Sunshine user and it works pretty well. For gaming the most seamless experience is Steam Play though but sadly it’s not as good as Sunshine.
