I want to stream videos with audio on my pc to my friends. I’m on linux, and video streaming is broken on discord (no audio of the source gets shared). Looping audio through mic (Soundux) results in poor audio quality, while discord-screenaudio just provides stuttery video. Any suggestions what to do?

I use a laptop with R4600H chip and 1650Ti.

VLC was invented to screen share video from a host computer to a group call? TIL

No, it was invented to stream video files, I don’t think it’s able screen share, but you can use it easily for watch parties. Thats how I understood OPs question.

Ahh makes sense I see. It may serve the same purpose just with a little more overhead

That’s an interesting idea and since vlc is even able to play files that are still downloading I guess it could also stream a screen grab file that is just temporary?

You understood right, I need it for watch party. Can I use it for streaming over the internet or only my local wifi?
