cross-posted from: https://piefed.social/c/DiscordAlternatives/p/1782665/searching-for-discord-alternative-with-multi-screenshare-feature

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.

I believe Element can do multi-screensharing with MatrixRTC, but you can only view one stream at a time. You can easily switch between active streams though.

How do we switch between streams? My friend group hasn’t figured this out. It looks like there’s a little line to click but it does nothing.

I think there were some small < > arrows on the sides of the stream

Tbf, that’s no different from Discord from what I’ve seen

Look again, there is a specific watch button for opening multiple, then you gotta switch to grid view and turn off the setting that shows users on the grid.

Tbh, that sounds way more complicated than it should be. Which isn’t surprising since the Discord’s UI/UX for streams is really unintuitive and touchy
