I will gladly leave this shithole called discord, as soon as matrix start to support screen sharing
I actually havent tried if screensharing works but jitsi seems to work very well in there. Even the german government uses it so I suppose it might be able to do that.
I know for a fact you can screen share in jitsi as I have seen it done.
In that case it should be no problem in matrix, assuming it uses a full version of jitsi.
There's a huge difference between streaming games and streaming PowerPoint slideshows
Obviously, yes. Whats your point?
Telling Discord users to switch to Matrix because "it works like a charm" is incorrect, considering how Discord is used.
"It's tolerable if you can put up with the low bit rate and high latency" is more accurate.
I frequently use Jitsi w/screensharing. Been using it for quite a while this way with good results.
