**A Bit NSFW** We Need the Option to Disable Someone Else's Screen Share.

Shock Treatment
  • Edited

This has been a feature I, and a lot of others, have wanted for quite a while now, especially considering that some of my friends on Discord can be very, very vulgar at times. Why is it that if someone we are in a call with decides to screen share, we are either forced to watch/listen to it or leave the call? There should be an option to turn off their screen share for you; like the equivalent of a mute button for it. I also know this has been suggested before, but it still has not been implemented. I'm sick of having to leave the call or listen to their terrible music, or god forbid their atrocious NSFW things.

Well, if you still need a reason to implement this, here you go. I'm sure you can assume what it is. I left the logo for you after all. Please see this Discord and actually implement it. (I also blurred out the other personal info because we are still friends after all; this just needs to be a feature.)

    I relly think it'd be very very helpful feature. Especially would be great feature to censor nsfw images using AI image recogntion if you enable this setting. Anyway i fully support this idea, gj.

    This seems like a great and much needed idea! If it's in a server call and you have adequate permissions, I suppose you could just kick them. But it'd be nice to disable people's screenshares for specifically you. Or like, minimize/mute them, at least? Maybe they could have individual volume sliders like people do.

    If you minimize or close them, the person's screenshare could become a little icon in the corner, ready for you to easily enable it again at the click of a button!

    I definitely agree with you guys. Well, obviously, otherwise I wouldn't have made this post. :p But I really like the idea of AI filtering like Sou suggested. They already do it for images, so why not videos too?

    I also agree with PrincessLapis too. Unfortunately, most of the calls I'm in are one-on-one, so the only option currently is to sit there and deal with it, or leave the call. I mean, you can minimize the Discord window, but that doesn't really do much good if it's something audio specific. I really like the idea of the little icon in the corner though, and I think that's something they should definitely implement. Hopefully we'll see the change eventually. There have been posts like this in the past with support, but they were all overlooked.
