Don't Remove Server Screen Share
As said by a product manager of Discord on Reddit, "Screensharing into servers was an experimental feature that we are deprecating in favor of Go Live." I really don't support this, and if you want to see that post, go here:

I am a developer, and although I use Discord to stream and play games with my friends, I also use it as a way to communicate with my developers when we're doing something together. I understand that Discord wasn't made or intended for something like this, but it is a very convenient, feature-packed communication program that does a better job than any other screen share alternative out there for myself and my team.
Screen share in servers allowed me to show studios, Chrome, videos, gameplay, and most importantly it allowed me to stream my desktop if I needed to. With the convenience of it being in a server, people could come and go as they please. When we wanted to start a call, it wouldn't alert and annoy everyone else like group DMs do. For both work and casual use, server screen share is very much the way to go for myself, my developers, and my friends.
Around a year ago, I was lucky enough to create a server that had screen share in the voice channels. We absolutely loved this feature and was glad we could get our hands on it. For the last year, we've been using it excessively every day - whether it be for streaming games, streaming videos, or streaming development.
A few days ago, my friend and developer wanted to buy Nitro so that he could stream in 1080 for coding. As soon as he bought Nitro, screen share stopped working in favor for Go Live - and this is a huge issue for us.
Although I could still screen share and he could use Go Live, we could not see each other's stream. Not only this, but if we were to give up screenshare for Go Live, we would have these major issues:
- We would only be able to stream 1 program at a time, which is very inconvenient when you're using multiple programs
- We wouldn't be able to stream our desktop, it has to be a program
- We would be giving up a large amount of functionality
I feel that screen share should be used instead of Go Live in Discord servers, or at least give the option to server owners. Screen share has more functionality / flexibility. It also is consistent with both private DM and group DM screen shares, followed by it lets you stream whatever you like, including your entire desktop, audio on or off.
Please don't ditch this functionality-packed feature myself, my friends, developers and others have used consistently for around a year in favor for a feature that is very limiting in comparison.

Discord is investigating the possibility of enabling sharing your entire screen with Go Live. -15 -

We also use it for development, my MAC user friend can still share screen with desktop app whilst I with Windows can't anymore.. it was really useful to quick share any bug/problem. Web screensharing still works.
Please don't remove desktop screensharing feature, thanks!1 -
I was lucky that I had a server where I was able to use screenshare and used it multiple times. we use it for D&D and were able to showing images and combatmaps to the players. however, the option dissapeared and we were forced to move to a private channel in order to share our screen.
It would be nice if we could get the screen share option back because alot of people were using it and liked the option.

Even for solely the fact that you can see multiple screens at once, this feature needs to come back for servers. Only seeing one Go Live stream at once is a major limitation.

I was really close to get a nitro pack for the team... but... this feature juste disappear -_- that's really annoying, we was really looking forward to this...

Yeah I'm thinking about cancelling my nitro membership so that I can get back access to one of the best features of discord, since nitro is purely inferior in this way.
That they are thinking of transitioning everyone to this new lower level of functionality is just terrible, although it's kind of worse that I'm paying for the privilege of not being able to share my screen to friends.

I don't have nitro and I don't have screen share on my channel anymore. So don't expect to get it back if you cancel nitro.

My company heavily uses discords channel screenshare for work. Go live restricts screenshare to only one person which is very inefficitent. We do not want to use the call feature as the ease of dropping in or out of a channel is very convenient and calling people who aren't currently present in a group chat is annoying. PLEASE bring back channel screensharing

I too am incredibly frustrated by this change. Over the period of time I had to experiment between the two versions (being go live and screen share) I've found that go live is inferior to screen share, from overall quality to the the ui that it came with. I WANT OPTIONS to say the least. But I of all people will likely be ignored, and there's nothing I can truly do. I used the work arounds while they existed, now that they don't I'm speaking up. I'm so frustrated, from their ui changes and now this... but I can't do anything. I'm useless. I have nowhere else to turn to either... so please... discord staff. please hear me out and stop limiting my options. cause the only other option I have . . . is to give up entirely.

I really would love screenshare back for one channel.
It was a simple strategy that worked for the people using the server. We miss it a lot. Anything else takes me more than an hour of fiddling with settings on my end and the other users' then then time we had set aside to research is gone.
