Wayland and audio is fixed, but only on the canary branch for the moment, this isnt lazy either, they changed the whole screenshare flow to suit linux’s permission prompts
I’ve been using Vesktop since forever. They have had it working already for a looooong time.
Fuck discord. Proprietary spyware. That shit isn’t getting on my computer anytime ever.
Don’t use discord it’s like reddit
At least you can still read some of reddit without an account.
Whish Steam would put some effort into this too.
I would love for Valve to make an alternative to Discord, built into Steam.
Try using OBS with its virtual camera.
people on reddit are saying audio-sharing is still broken for every app using pipewire audio API directly
Which programs use the pipewire API? I can only think of mumble but no one is going to stream that.
MPV also supports pipewire.
i think bitwig is one
Note that the flathub version has not yet been updated. The version with the screenshare is 0.0.79.
For those of us not using Wayland, any idea if this still applies? Waiting on my flatpak version to support audio sharing with screen share… And please performance improvements.
Finally!!!
Can we get actually working global keybinds in Wayland next? Or is that a chromium/electron problem?
It’s an Electron problem, yes. The API is there, just waiting to be used.
wayland global keybinds are not really ready yet, they’re only properly implemented in one desktop, so i don’t blame the discord devs for not adding them.
Hyprland and kwin I think.
The hyprland dev is doing a ridiculous amount of work.
Surprised he finds time to work on anything after spending so much of it being a complete dipshit online or falsely pinning his own bugs on other projects. Good for him.
So doing what every single developer does, got it.
Everyone is teflon
They don’t work for discord in hyprland unfortunately, it only works when I have discord tabbed in (I tried passing the shortcuts in the hyprland config file)
AFAIK kde’s way of doing it is kind of hacky because it was called something like “legacy global keybinds” in settings but I switched off KDE a few months ago so I don’t remember the exact details.
https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Binds/#global-keybinds that’s a bug then, it should be working according to the docs.
honestly if this is for push to talk, i have a mic mute toggle in my config that might honestly be better depends on wireplumber and ripgrep though. If you bind it to something and then have it run again on release you can make it a proper push to talk key for every single application.
$micmute = wpctl set-mute @DEFAULT_SOURCE@ toggle ; wpctl get-volume @DEFAULT_SOURCE@ | rg -q 'MUTED' && notify-send ' Mic Muted' -h string:x-canonical-private-synchronous:mic-state || notify-send --urgency=low ' Mic unmuted' -h string:x-canonical-private-synchronous:mic-state
Is this only for wayland or does it extend to x11?
