Vesktop is a custom Discord App with an aim to give better performance and support on Linux.

v1.5.2 fixes various audio issues related to screensharing and also overhauls video streaming with various fixes/improvements:

  • Fix resolution and framerate selection
  • Fix bug that stops users from changing the streamed window (created by allowing resolution changes)
  • Fix bug where changing windows allows you to lower the fps but not raise it
  • Beautify modal for starting a stream(show preview and content type as a dropdown)
  • Fix issue where stream quality overlay does not update to show the current quality of the running stream
  • Enable contentHint and allow the user to choose between “motion” and “detail”
  • Allow users to start streams while watching another stream

    Thanks, I tried Sunshine and it seems to work better! Any chance you have experience with switching between monitors with the Android Moonlight client?

      Unfortunately, no, I assign one monitor that stays asleep unless I intentionally wake it. Most of my use case these days is streaming my desktop remotely over wireguard. Good luck tinkering!
