Does Matrix have screen sharing where multiple participants can screen share simultaneously yet? Because that’s the feature all of my friends use.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like Discord, but if no one brings up screen sharing when Matrix is mentioned as an alternative then it’ll never be implemented.
This is the public test version of the new call system that you can try without an account https://call.element.io/
Its pretty new and still evolving, but this is basically just embedded in Element if you start a call in the client. From my test just now it doesnt look like you can have two people screensharing at once :( The screensharing itself works fine tho, it looks like a new share by a different person will just overwrite the previously started one.
That’s a somewhat weird, to me, use case. Even in a business setting, we share our screens with colleagues via meet or slack only one or two at a time. How does this work on Discord and why would a party of people do it?
Friends and I will stream games in a channel, sometimes our perspective of the same game, sometimes different games we’re playing on our own. Just four or five of us, not like fifty.

Its a very common use case on discord. As an example, a group of friends playing Jackbox Games, or watching YouTube videos together.
It is also common on art-focused servers for many people to be passively sharing what they are working on while they chat.

I spent so long making a reply to Dubyakay and you said just as much in a quarter of the words! Cheers!
