electron-discord-webapp VS Discord-Screenshare-Linux

I stan WebCord.

git page

I love both WebCord and discord-screenaudio, but for me and a lot of my friends, streaming using any chromium application is a laggy mess, especially when streaming games! In result, I built this extension which feeds audio nodes to WebRTC streams, currently only works with Firefox and Pipewire. I have packaged it for NixOS, but I need package maintainers for other distros too. Anyone willing to help by packaging the native part of the extension or just contributing to the project, is welcome!

Webcord also has this exact same feature I think, but it may be hidden under some command line flags, at least it was when I last tried it (and failed).

Stop using official discord binaries. Huge hole in your setup. Use Webcord

for discord I used https://github.com/SpacingBat3/WebCord

Also, if you're using discord I recommend you to check out WebCord, a privacy and security oriented front end. It's available on Windows and Linux I believe.

You could give WebCord a try. I used it for some time now and I'm pretty happy

https://github.com/itsfolf/Discord-Screenshare-Linux for discord, and xwayland video bridge for other apps

This will fix screensharing for discord. As for chrome and most electron applications, just enabling pipewire webrtc capture through settings/paramerers should be enough.

Electron isn't actually a big issue for me, the only electron app I use daily is discord and that does actually work with wayland now (these are my parameters btw: --no-sandbox --ignore-gpu-blocklist --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder --use-gl=desktop --enable-gpu-rasterization --enable-zero-copy --enable-features=WebRTCPipeWireCapturer, helps a lot with smoothness and with the last parameter and this project, even screensharing works)

The next step is to achieve proper screen/audio sharing via pipewire. Using this hack it's possible to code-inject the logic needed to fetch a stream from pipewire directly into Discord. This combined with running canary with these flags:

Take a look at this. Not tested for Gentoo but it worked for my distro

There is a project to do exactly that at the moment, though it hasn't received updates in some time: https://github.com/fuwwy/Discord-Screenshare-Linux
