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.
Jitsi
I’m not talking about youtube videos. I mean videos either on my pc or platforms in megathread like 123movies. I tried both with Jitsi. Video is shared but audio is not for some reason
Edit : By sharing I mean screen sharing. 123movies didn’t work with the link option
Vlc Player was invented for this…
Oh I haven’t used that function in years but there’s a lot of helpful guides on it out there like this one. It’s a little “complicated” for modern days but it works pretty reliable.
Funny enough streaming videos is vlcs “Main” function - VideoLanClient
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
You understood right, I need it for watch party. Can I use it for streaming over the internet or only my local wifi?
I’m looking for the same solution but to stream a game screen.
I got obs to work with Jitsi but it’s low quality.
I was able to get video streaming with audio working on Discord using pipewire, but it was a massive pain in the ass and somewhat unreliable. I don’t have a lot of experience with Jitsi, but I trust others’ recommendation there
