Full screen-sharing features on Linux?

XLP

Does anyone know when discord-linux gets its full screen sharing features? Because it currently only supports all screens, but no single screen or app streaming (maybe even with sound)

[I'm using kde with an amd gpu if that matters....]

 

(BTW: To which Topic do posts about screen-sharing belong? I just selected Chat....)

    I'd like this as well.

    I suspect that it might be an issue with X stitching all displays together as a single 'screen' by default. Discord might need some better X integration to get this working properly.

    EDIT: The screenshot taken from NVIDIA X Server Settings below shows I have two physical displays, but they're stitched together within one X screen. Discord just takes the entire screen, rather than both displays independently.

    I already had put some thoughts into that and I see the problem

    I have actually have not much knowledge about that, but in OBS they also seemed to get it working via XSHM ... maybe the discord team could take a look on how they achieved it - but maybe someone with more knowledge on that could help here..

    I tried this on canary build, but it still didn't work for me. I tried submitting a bug report but it was removed because Linux is unsupported except for urgent bugs. It does show the screen separately but when choosing one it still streams both...

    Still a problem now, just submitted a ticket to Discord

    I would love it if they fixed this. It's always a pain when I'm trying to show my friends stuff and I have to share both my screens. Usually the second screen is just discord though!

    Hi, I'm +1 -ing this because I'd really like if you could share sound with app window sharing, like you can do on Windows. It's the only missing feature I need and the only thing that keeps me from buying a Nitro subscription

    Sharing single screen works for me only with Canary Discord, on Manjaro.

    Will we ever get the application sharing feature? 

     

    Edit: 

    Although it shows you 2 different screens when you share, when you choose either one of the screens it shared them both. 

    I'm dissapointed.

    I just updated the deb package from the website and you can now stream seperate screens!

    EDIT: It only shows the two screens seperately, but the stream will still be all monitors.

    I hope they fix this.

    So as many noticed the bug is in the chromium version that is used by discord. Unfortunately discord cannot directly influence that version, since it is determined by the electron version. Discord uses a really old version of electron, so you have to use a modified version of the client if you want the latest one(e.g. discord_arch_electron in the AUR). But even the latest stable electron release at the time of writing (10.1.5) does not yet use the version with the complete fix. 

    The best way to get this working is to use discord in the browser. (Tested with chromium 86.0.4240.111) 

    Simply updating chromium or electron on your machine will not do anything to the discord app.

    I think what Discord can do about this is heavily dependent on what Electron allows. That being said, this would be great if possible.

    It's still a problem and it's really annoying, I hope it will get fixed sometime.

    A really ghetto easy way to deal with this :

    1. get obs and enable preview

    2. set it to projector mode full screen by right-clicking on the preview ( I put the projector on a second monitor)

    3. alt tab out of the projection in to discord and stream the projection, this way you can stream a projection of obs capturing a specific screen. 

    Real lame that discord doesn't just let us stream sections of a screen...

    Can confirm on Ubuntu 20.04 that the screens show independently in the preview to select either screen, but the screenshare still shows both screens stitched together.

    This issue also happens on Arch with Xorg.

    I've tried to build an Electron app to see if it was an issue with Electron or Discord, but it seems it's really an issue with Discord because following this guide works perfectly.

    Trying to run Discord with the latest Electron version (11.2.3) using

    electron /usr/lib/discord/app.asar

    also produced the same issue, even though it shows as Chrome 87 on devtools.

    How is this not fixed yet, after two years?

    Why are we having to resort to third-party tools to emulate a webcam here? I am paying for Nitro, the ability to stream 1080p@60fps, and yet forcing us to resort to emulating a webcam limits us to some 30fps.

    After two years, this is quite frankly ridiculous.

    It is fixed in Discord Canary. Works for me:

    Canary 82812 (120e31a)
    Host 0.0.119

    Yeah I needed this problem fixed too...

     

    There is no workaround? I've been searching for the possibility to stream using another software like OBS but... again... the "virtual cam plugin" is only for WIndows.

    Guilherme de Medeiros,

    There are 2 third-party workarounds I have found but cannot use myself as there's no v4l2loopback in my repo, have to compile it. If your system is more actual, give them a chance:

    In this article they state that this has been fixed in the latest Chromium on the dev channel, which is due for release in August. Maybe, if Discord integrates the latest Electron when in turn they update to the latest Chrome, it will automagically be fixed?

    I don't use multiple monitors so idm but c'mon we NEED discord screen sharing w/ audio. I enjoy streaming for others to watch my gameplay yet I can't with sound so its kinda bad. Also means my windows partition can go permanently if it is implemented.

     

    Basically +1 for Linux Screen Sharing w/ Sound

    Would love if this got fixed! Just so I can share my IDE with my team for bug fixes/problems while still having a private window for notes. I will probably switch to Google Meets if that works though.

    What other alternatives can do this for linux?

    Please just update the damn engine https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/10/screen-sharing-linux-chromium-fix

    Screen sharing works better using the browser at the moment...

    CodeSpent Have the same issue but fixed it. Just use the chromium browser (sudo snap install chromium) and it shows the screens correctly and there is no limitations of using the webapp instead of the desktop application as I have seen so far. For the webapp go to https://discord.com/app
