Comment on Discord gets improvements for video on Linux PCs and Steam Deck
gravitywell@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoCan you give me more details about what you’re trying to screenshare, like games, videos, slidshows? I mainly use OBS to stream to peertube which can itself host a chat or be integrated with other chats, but if you are looking for something more like a group video call jistsi might be more in line with what you want.
Send me a DM with more info and ill try to figure out what options might work for ya. My contact info is also on my lemmy profile.

Its usually games, though its generally “whatever we are doing at the time” with trusted, long distance friends. Its not something I would want to share over publicly accessible URLs. And it almost always involve varied and fast moving visuals, so basic software encoding is not acceptable.
I have tried jitsi before. It does not use hardware accelerated codecs or provide audio isolation for applications. I can’t imagine using its screen share for anything more demanding than a slide show presentation.

For best option might be vdo.ninja, or if you have multiple people wanting to game on the same shared screen sunshine/moonlight is specifically for gaming can handle shared sessions.
I do hope jitsi gets better encoding options in the future because its really the easiest to use
