The thing that’s insane to me is that most of the alternatives have screen sharing with working audio on the back burner, while I can tell you that the first one to get it working will be my go to. Hopefully with this extra cushion, one of them can get it working it’s the only thing discord has over its competitors other than general stability related things.
it depends. I don’t know if Element desktop uses it already, but a few months ago I have seen in the matrix live streams that they are already using it for team communication
but it also depends on whether your homeserver operators has set up a working element call/matrixrtc stack for it. if not, the apps will definitely use the old video conferencing implementation
Audio hasn’t worked for me or my friends across Linux or Windows. Been kind of a pain.
It also seems to suffer the XWayland issue in Linux that Discord did for quite some time where it just flat out fails to get screen capture in the desktop app, but works in the browser. Electron pains

element call has screen sharing with audio. afaik joining a call does not even require registration, but that could depend on the server
If that is the video conferencing in the desktop then I can tell you that that has not been my experience with it both on windows and w/ Wayland

Fluxer has screen sharing with audio.

Screen sharing is my deal breaker/maker. If they don’t have it I can’t switch. Hopefully they can get something going in 6 months
