on discord on linux you can’t screenshare with desktop audio, I think this might be already fixed in newer electron versions (but discord is closed source and has not updated their electron in a long time)
As a workaround, you could use OBS and use OBS’s virtual camera so Discord is streaming what it thinks is a camera, and set up whatever you want to share on your desktop through OBS.
I have discord installed from the flatpak. Screen sharing works but it doesn’t share audio from the applications. Discord-screenaudio and web browser discord have been suggested to me but they don’t work with unfocused push to talk. I’ve also tried xwaylandvideobridge but that didn’t stream the audio either.
I’m assuming this is a “dedicated app” (i.e. apt install discord). I was capable of streaming the video, but sound was a different beast. Audio streaming on discord was a no go. I was finally able to do it with pipewire and using discord-screenaudio
Can you describe the issue? I don’t use Discord (and I presume the problem might depend on what browser you use).

That absolutely sucks :| Thankyou for the detail.

Jaysus, I wish this were a world where stuff like that wasn’t necessary.
Uneducated question: what’s the benefit of a dedicated client over running it in a normal browser?
