When gaming with friends, many times we'll share our screens simultaneously so we can help keep track of group members if we get split up.

Are there any discord alternatives with this feature?

Bonus points if it allows you to also toggle on/off the audio from the share separately from their microphone.

What matrix client did you use?

[–] Console_Modder@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Element on PC. For mobile Element Classic only supports text chats, and Element X is the experimental app for testing voice and video calls. The PC program and Classic work fine, didn't test X

I tried Commet a few days ago, not only does it look more Discord like but it allows multiple screenshares (even one user can share so many screens until their PC freezes - as shown in the picture). (The client is alpha but most of the time it worked for me)

I am definitely gonna have to try Commet. Thanks for the heads up!
