Feedback/Request: Stage Channel Bitrate

teamkilled
I operate a small Discord channel for my company and stage channels looked like the perfect place for daily team stand-up meetings (even with the lack of screen sharing) because the “speaker” is given more attention and it feels more natural than a group call. However, in testing I’ve seen that the bitrate of stage channels is noticeably low. Stage channels are also perfect places for music bots - I’ve already made my own that auto-updates the status to display the song name and the quiet join/leave is perfect for not interrupting the music. However, they are completely unusable due to the poor bitrate. I probably won’t ever get a response here, but I’d love to see a feature where bitrate could be increased in stage channels. It’s probably so low (40kbps) due to the huge number of listeners supported, but maybe the bitrate could be able to be increased in exchange for a lower number of max listeners.

    Lack of bitrate options has been an issue for my server as well (https://discord.gg/vKMdC4wF7Q) we do a live show on the stage channel and I usually play a couple of music snippets throughout ( intro and outdo music, I play keyboards throughout, etc)

    We're having the same low bitrate issue on our server, we've reverted to classic voice channels for now, but stage channels look like a great addition when they're ready!

    Hi what's going on with this? Seriously?

     

    You just updated to include some BS stickers and requiring a double click to attach files instead of the previous single click - why? F knows.

     

    Fix it.
