Discord Removing normal Screensharing

I found today that on the normal and canary versions of discord, the normal non-go live screen sharing has been removed. Why would this be removed? Its astronomically better since several screens can be watched at the same time, along with being able to share and see other peoples screens at the same time. Is this going to be added back after time since it was taken out before, since it got removed prior. Then updated, then now removed.

from what I understand, we still have webcam option and that would use the same bandwidth as screenshare if people use 1080p cameras. it shouldn't be an issue to bring the screenshare back

nvm, if you hover on the floating window, it gives you "More Screenshare Option"

Screensharing has been used for a while on OpenVFX The Blender Hub, and has been very helpful for all the artists.
Many of us liked the screenshare-option , mainly a bunch of people hanging out with each other, just like google-hangouts was back in the days.

Sad to see, that you have removed it. GO Live is not the same at all. Though it does have its benefits, but it is not fun at all.
Please consider to let people screenshare again.
