WebCord is an “alternative client” for Discord, although it’s just running the Discord webpage in electron. Recently it updated its electron version so it supports sharing audio as well as video.
I tried it out today on mint (x11, pulseaudio) and it works flawlessly.
I still have major problems with presence detection and notifications (in Webcord. Love it on Deck tho.) Could be me. Vencord is a project I just stumbled on and it seems really solid in just about every area. Check out those plugins.
And Vencord has a desktop client “Vesktop” which works like Webcord, with audio in stream too. No presence detection but notifications have worked for me
Ive been using armcord with the vencord base, it’s super solid and not as resource intensive.
I would caution anyone using a client mod like that, since it is technically against Discord’s terms of service. To be fair I’ve never heard of them banning anyone for that, but it’s worth noting. Webcord is generally a much safer option.
You’re technically right but discord really doesn’t care as long as you’re not doing anything harmful with the client mods. Big YouTubers like No Text To Speech publicly promote and use Vencord and never get banned, I think his server is even a discord partner.
Anyone tried on wayland?
On wayland (KDE Plasma) it’s not as seamless. For me it creates two sinks, one of which is voice channel and other is the stream audio stream. It wires my mic to both automatically and i have to manually wire the app audio to stream audio sink. So it does work with extra steps. I use qpwgraph for wiring.
I can tonight but i always forget to check back into lemmy and jerboa sucks at notifying on post responses
EDIT: tried it on my kde plasma wayland setup on my tablet and tried streaming my firefox window, and no dice. I checked in qpwgraph and no new linkage was made in the audio channel and nobody could hear my desktop.
Does this rely on wireplumber or can i keep using pipewiremediasession? Wireplumber breaks too many things for me to use.
Try Vesktop, it’s had seamless audio screenshare on pipewire for a while
Discord is one of those things that should be avoided at all costs.
Why though? Real question.
Edit: This is explained the README
