Wayland and audio is fixed, but only on the canary branch for the moment, this isnt lazy either, they changed the whole screenshare flow to suit linux’s permission prompts
Note that the flathub version has not yet been updated. The version with the screenshare is 0.0.79.
people on reddit are saying audio-sharing is still broken for every app that utilizes the pipewire audio API directly
Which programs use the pipewire API? I can only think of mumble but no one is going to stream that.
I’ve been using Vesktop since forever. They have had it working already for a looooong time.
Fuck discord. Proprietary spyware. That shit isn’t getting on my computer anytime ever.
tbh if you’re on linux there’s kind of an easy workaround
pactl load-module module-combine-sink sink_name='Stream' slaves='easyeffects_sink'
^^I have this aliased as “gamesound”
easyeffects is great for this because it’ll just be the default sink, plus easyeffects makes your mic sound good anyway. (if you configure it for that)
then when the game opens i set it to output to “stream” and bam i can output game audio in a stream without capturing anything else, since i’m on hyprland i can also stream just the window, discord screenshare with audio everywhere.
Been using matrix since forever :) But the dissing of shitty corporate centralized applications is necessary because way too many naive users still give their data away for convenience.
