Screen Share is Garbage

    I agree. I hate the change as well. There's not even an option to toggle any of this off. Absolutely poor performance from the discord team.

     

    I can no longer view my screenshare, even in a 1 on 1 DM. It automatically pauses it. It's really annoying. When starting screenshare, they even swapped the "Screen" and "Applications, so now applications are the first ones you see, and you have to click on the next tab to share a desktop/monitor. These do not enhance the user experience, they cripple it.

    Something I never expected discord to commit to. All these past updates have done nothing but ruin  the experience and UI of discord.

     

    And in a 1 on 1 screenshare, there's 4 boxes? There's the two screens, and simply 2 extra boxes, with both of our names. I have to navitage to the drop down and click "Hide Non-video participants" - despite the fact that only 2 boxes should exist anyways, as it's just me and someone else in a DM.

    I have to CLICK on "watch stream" to watch my friends stream. In a 1 on 1 DM. Ridiculous. They need to fire the person who came up with this. The UI has been crippled.

     

    Terrible choices from discord. I expected better.

    Agree, give back old screenshare.
    Before even with crappy connection u could kinda stream and it was okay.
    Now my stream can't even start because i have crap connection.
    SMH.
    Basically removed screenshare for me. WP Devs (-:
    When the stream 'fails' to start won't ever start, i have to stop and start it over but as long as it doesn't start i won't stream anyting (-: NICE.
