Tho if matrix gets desktop streaming I'm gone. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] ekky@sopuli.xyz 36 points 1 year ago (3 children) Element already has desktop streaming as an experimental feature. Worked fine last i tested it. Currently planning how to trick my social circle into using it. I also want to go check out the new TeamSpeak, it's supposed to be a decent Discord alternative - Even though Discord originally replaced it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [β] KiwiTB@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (1 child) That's great news.

I just tested it with a friend (I'm on Endeavour, she's on Win11, the server is VPS with Debian running the newest Synapse and Element-web). Audio works fine both ways with no mic config required, streaming is a little laggy when viewing the screen and stream next to each other, but that's all. EDIT: No, you're right. Audio within streams seem to fail. I remember Discord having the same problem (hence why I use Vesktop), but if Windows also suffers this shortcoming? I'm pretty sure I remember it working a month ago, so there should be a bug report in Synapse (or element). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) This has been an issue for over 4 years. not sure why it seems to be neglected by the maintainers/contributors.
