Discussion on: Discord screen share with audio on Linux!

It works like a charm, thank you for it!

If anyone needs a little help in how it works, let me share my experience

  1. (Download and) Install Discord in your OS if you haven't already (in my case I'm using Pop_OS and I've got it from the Pop!_Shop as a .deb package)
  2. Download BetterDiscord if you haven't already (in my case I downloaded the .AppImage, gave execution permissions to the file doing chmod +x <better_discord_file.AppImage> and execute it ./<better_discord_file.AppImage>)
  3. Your Discord client will be closed (if it was previously opened), so no worries about it. Open Discord and you will be prompted with a message (like a changelog)
  4. Install Tuxphones (in my case I'm using asdf to get the packages needed for it, like rust, but you can install it from the Rust webpage itself)
  5. Try it out!

Hi, I'm glad you tried Tuxphones!
Was the stream for viewers visible right away? Also can you confirm that the audio is not working for you too?

The stream was working just fine, it was weird when I've wanted to show a game because there was a glich for a second on the audio, but that's about it

Maybe tomorrow I will have problems or not, I'll let you know in Github!

This is really weird. As you can read from the post we are trying to understand why dicord does not read our audio stream but now you tell us that everything works
