PayPalRecently I shared the news that Discord Canary had fixed full Wayland screen-sharing on Linux with working audio, but it has been removed again.
There was a lot of excitement about this but the point to remember is that Discord Canary is their public testing environment, it changes often and not everything makes it into a full stable release of Discord.
On Reddit, a Discord developer jumped in to explain:
Hello! I work at Discord ( see my flair in r/discordapp ). Canary tests a variety of different things at different times and while rolling out wayland support we found some other bugs that required us to roll it back for now. Canary specifically should be thought of as "we test stuff in production", once wayland screenshare hits stable it should not come and go.
Our intent is still to get Wayland screensharing out to 100% once we've ironed out the bugs.
And in another comment:
We saw an increased crash rate in general for Linux clients so we had to revert and step forwards to figure out what's causing it.
Hopefully we'll see it not only return to Discord Canary sometime soon so you can share your screen with working audio on Linux with Wayland, but also get it into a proper Discord release for everyone.

Wayland screen sharing, while it worked, needed some things worked out. I noticed my framerate and overall game stability taking a dive whenever I streamed.
