Add back the functionality of dm streams.

p1cu

The new stream to dm ui looks cool and all... but it removes two key components that make it significantly worse than the older version:

1. You can no longer stream full screen games.

This is the big issue with it and basically removes 90% of the use of dm streaming... like why am I streaming if I can't stream my game? The old version was a bit buggy but it was at least functional, removing it kinda defeats the purpose of dm streaming to begin with.

2. Add back the ability to stream a window without sound.

This is slightly more minor but streaming muted is so important. When I'm in a group with my friends and just want to show my screen without interrupting play sessions it's important. It was a decent amount of the use my friends and I got out of it, removing that feature makes me wonder why we are using discord for this instead of a different platform.

    I used it just cause people like watching me play (not sure why) and I wanted to share my screen with them. No longer being able to stream to dm's is really annoying. Forces me to switch to a private server call or just not do it at all. Absolutely no point to me at least just removing it. In the patch it says that you can now stream and video call at the same time. This means it could possibly be a bug and they did not intentionally remove it. Unless i'm missing something there.
