So its useless, as discord usually is

    I was under the impression discord streaming already worked on x11 on Linux? I could be mistaken, and perhaps this doesn’t include things like content isolation due to technical limitations?

      only the visual component ever worked, this wayland stuff is the first time audio works outside of things like mods of vesktop

        I’m not well versed on the matter but are we sure it’s not more of a technical limitation of X11 in relation to electron or something like that?

        Do apps like element call or Jitsi Meet support audio with screen sharing on x11?
