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.

Known Issues

  • Only works with PipeWire
  • Only works on X11
  • Can only share primary screen (no other screens or specific applications) (see #1)

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.
