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

    Try using OBS with its virtual camera.

      I’ve been using that for ages to share my screen, but it doesn’t bring over the audio which can be annoying, but otherwise works great. I am sure there are ways to get the audio into it, but it felt like it would be more trouble than it was worth.

        You can stream the audio using PulseAudio volume control. (pavucontrol)

        Click in the Recording tab, find the discord input (it should be called WebRTC engine or something similar) and select the audio device you want to use.

        To stream audio from your computer, just click the ‘monitor’ version of the device you want to use.

            Really? I don’t have that issue. Are you also using OBS? It’s possible your stream is lagging due to hardware restraints.

              Meh, I guess there’s just no reason for it to be synced. Hardware is out of the question
