WebCord is an "alternative client" for Discord, although it's just running the Discord webpage in electron. Recently it updated its electron version so it supports sharing audio as well as video.

I tried it out today on mint (x11, pulseaudio) and it works flawlessly.

Anyone tried on wayland?

Yeah I’m curious too. Does this feature works on Wayland?

On wayland (KDE Plasma) it's not as seamless. For me it creates two sinks, one of which is voice channel and other is the stream audio stream. It wires my mic to both automatically and i have to manually wire the app audio to stream audio sink. So it does work with extra steps. I use qpwgraph for wiring.

I can tonight but i always forget to check back into lemmy and jerboa sucks at notifying on post responses

EDIT: tried it on my kde plasma wayland setup on my tablet and tried streaming my firefox window, and no dice. I checked in qpwgraph and no new linkage was made in the audio channel and nobody could hear my desktop.

Does this rely on wireplumber or can i keep using pipewiremediasession? Wireplumber breaks too many things for me to use.

For me it makes the sink for stream audio but wires my mic to it instead of the app or desktop audio, gotta rewire manually. After that it works
