Screensharing - New mandatory "VIEW_CHANNEL" permission
I don't like the new mandatory permission to share your screen. Nowadays you also need to have rights to view the channel if you want to be able to share your screen.
Watching a channel and being allowed to share your screen have nothing to do with each other. Many communities use voice channels that should not be visible to other members by default. For example, remember that normal members have no business who is addressed in those voice channels.
However, it must be possible to share media in those channels via screen sharing. I don't think it makes sense at all that this extra "VIEW_CHANNEL" permission has become mandatory for this.
It is also not the case that you get a clear message that you need that permission, but you can just share your screen that crashes after a few seconds with the message that the connection has been lost. Not the best UX that I've seen before.
I request that this be reversed so that we can share our screen normally again, even though we are not allowed to see the channel by default. After all, you have the "VIDEO" permission that controls this.

Yes it would be very awesome to use screenshare in a channel without the VIEW_CHANNEL permission!
I have on any server channels that invisible for normal users like support channels but they need permissions to use screenshare.So please discord, change that
