discord-screenaudio
A very WIP custom discord client that supports streaming with audio on Linux, made possible by the great work of @edisionnano and the Rohrkabel library by @Curve.
Installation
If you are using Arch, you can build and install from the AUR. If you aren't, you will have to build it yourself.
Building from Source
Requirements
- Basic building tools
- CMake
- Qt5 and QtWebEngine
- PipeWire (it currently doesn't work with PulseAudio)
- Git
On Debian:
apt install -y build-essential cmake qtbase5-dev qtwebengine5-dev pkg-config libpipewire-0.3-dev git
Building
To build the program, run this in the source directory:
cmake -B build
cmake --build build --config Release
And then to optionally install it, run:
sudo cmake --install build
How it works
This whole project is based on this repository, which very nicely explains how to stream audio in the web version of Discord. Basically: a virtual microphone is created which captures the application audio, and this microphone is then fed to the Discord stream by intercepting a API call of Discord.
