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

    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.

    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.

    Note that the flathub version has not yet been updated. The version with the screenshare is 0.0.79.

    Can we get actually working global keybinds in Wayland next? Or is that a chromium/electron problem?

      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.

          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
