Screen sharing in signal seems to work reasonably well.

If another service such as Matrix can built similar screen sharing into their applications then I’d be able to convince my friends to make the shift. As it stands there isn’t really a 1:1 equivalent.

it… works but it doesn’t work nearly as well as discord for gaming screen sharing, at least with the bit of testing i’ve done with mh wilds

I only used it for desktop applications. That’s good to know.

Bananas Screen Sharing may one day be able to replicate that functionality, though at the moment it does not pass-through audio (The dev mentioned they hadn’t implemented that because it’s difficult to implement on Mac OS, but seems to be viable for Windows/Linux).

Jitsi + mumble combo, perhaps?

I expect MatrixRTC will be capable of screen sharing, so it’s probably just a matter of time, so long as Matrix gets the sponsors they need to continue their work.

I would like to contribute labor to developing a discord alternative.
I also don’t know shit about fuck. Is this not something that can be made open source?

You don’t have to reinvent the wheel, open standards with similar or better capabilities already exist. Don’t create another silo, contribute to making e.g. XMPP clients better.

screen sharing in element is very good. just use element call under video call

I tested this today with a friend, and apparently it doesn’t need to be a video call, just a regular voice call is enough to do screen share.
I didn’t test with a group call though, so I can’t tell if it only works with two people.

in regular call the screen sharing has a horrible framerate, but in element call it’s smooth and high quality
