FOSS (preferably) alternative to Discord's screen sharing feature?
Wondering if anyone knows good alternatives to Discord's screen sharing feature (good quality, good framerate, low latency, and sound support).
Preferably FOSS, but at this point I'm taking all answers. Feel free to redirect me if there's any other community I should ask this in.
You're viewing a single thread.
I've used jitsi meet (own instance) for this before. OBS might work as well.
Someone proposed this before. I’ll have to try, but I’m afraid it will be a bit janky. Can’t only stream a specific app with sound, and probably can't configure too much (quality, FPS, ...)
What should I use with OBS? I believe it can't be used by itself, and I need something to stream to.
You can look at VDO.Ninja, rebranded from OBS.Ninja, peer to peer streaming, has a free instance and is self-hostable :)
After testing the non-self hosted version, it seems like the quality isn't really good :-/ - idk if that's because I stream from the browser and if OBS will make a difference
Edit: nevermind, it seems like it supports more, but their interface is really not intuitive. I'll test it, seems nice :)
Yeah, look at this, there are many options to tune: https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings
you can configure both quality and fps, but I think fps can't go above 30.
you could use OBS to PeerTube. you might have to search for an instance that allows unlisted streams though, if you don't want it to be public
Mhh, I would prefer to take a safer option, but thanks for the useful infos :)
