Clipping and How it Could Improve

Clipping As Is 

Clipping through discord offers many benefits when it works properly, such as separating discord voice audio and game audio, but there are a good couple changes the feature could benefit from. 

Possible Feature Updates

The clipping feature’s lack of support while not screensharing is a enough of a downside to warrant using other clipping softwares such as Medal, Nvidia Shadowplay, AMDReLive, etc. Although Discord’s implementation of being able to toggle the call audio and game audio surely beats most other implementations of audio separation. 

Now I could understand the feature’s restriction to screenshares if the feature’s locked down to screenshares due to not wanting to compete with other clipping softwares, but the convenience of being able to trim and view clips right inside Discord is extremely useful, rather than having to open a video editor to trim clips with multiple audio channels or just trimming standard clips in Window’s Movies and TV app. As such I would love to see the Clip sharing menu grow to accept clips from other software.

Wrap-Up

I enjoy the implementation of clipping in Discord, but it comes with a couple flaws, besides it jsut deciding not to work from time to time. This feature has so much untapped potential and plenty of space to grow as long as the discord staff give the feature the attention it needs.
