I want to stream videos with audio on my pc to my friends. I’m on linux, and video streaming is broken on discord (no audio of the source gets shared). Looping audio through mic (Soundux) results in poor audio quality, while discord-screenaudio just provides stuttery video. Any suggestions what to do?

I use a laptop with R4600H chip and 1650Ti.

    No one has mentioned OBS? If I understood OP’s need correctly that seems like the obvious choice to me.

        I’m pretty sure you can plug obs input into things like teams or zoom. But I doubt the quality is worth a shit.

        Not op. But…

        On Linux I set up OBS to capture my game window and from obs you are able to set the captured screen as a webcam stream.

        On Linux I had to install some stuff to get a restream of the audio. It looped the game audio into a virtual mic.

        So…

        I Jitsi I just set my mic and video to the appropriate obs-made virtual cam and mic.

        My upload maxes at 10mb/s

        So I didn’t have the best luck with Jitsi. Definitely not full screen quality.

        But OBS might come in handy if you find another way to stream.

        OBS I believe is available for windows, Linux, and Mac.
