Don't know why but every time I see Quake II RTX reminds of the phrase " Mutton dressed as Lamb"

Quoting: GustyGhostNo binary is offered to host a server and, in my book, if you can't run it on bare metal you can't run "your own server". I would be much more inclined to call Discord's instances more appropriately as chatrooms.

My point was that for 99.9% of gamers/Clans it's far easier thus why it's so popular.

Quoting: GustyGhostI like it's simplicity and self-hostability

Just their is the other reason as to why Discord is preferred, Most people don't have a home server. Yes you can use a RPI but I think many forget that most don't have the knowledge or where for all to set up murmur let alone a server.

People forget, 25 odd years ago we would have been seen as super geeks in the eyes of most.

Quoting: pete910Ah, the discord streaming thingy, Must admit when I've tried it it's always been a bit meh . Not a Nitro member though so low res only.

I don't have nitro either but sometimes use the standard thing to show someone something.

The only issue I have is that it's such a crap res/bit rate, don't really recall if the audio worked for me or not in the past. Having said that, I've not used more than a handful of times. Even my windows mates don't do it that often due to issues.

I just stick to OBS via twitch or YT, Shame as the discord streaming can be handy on occasion.

Quoting: midget_3111it doesn't use NVENC when capturing, so if you're using an Nvidia GPU and try to screenshare it causes everything to stutter.

Get an AMD card for that OSS goodness

I wish I could afford one 😭

Was Lucky, Got mine from AMD last Feb foor £600. Which i think even thats over priced

The prices that the AIB's/E-Tailers are charging are just ridiculous, Should all be investigated for profiteering and fined double what their earnings was for the year!

Trouble is whilst I agree Mumble is great, Discord wins with gamers with the fact you can pretty much do what a clan needs/wants, Chats/voip/streamimg ect. (Streaming bit needs work though)

It's also easier to do your own server.

Personally used to like team speak.

Quoting: TheRiddickNow if someone could make a plugin for discord to fix the streaming and no audio issue.

Have to ask, What issues are you having? Discord's audio has never been a problem with OBS ect for me personally. Or do you mean within windows ?

Nitro does not capture game audio. OBS is a separate app outside of discord which does not hook up into discord for its screen sharing function (which doesn't capture audio under Linux).

Quoting: wytrabbitSo this doesn't interfere with or modify the Discord client in any way? I'm concerned with my account being banned.

Nope! I've been using it and it's predecessor for about 2 years now!

It might not have banned me, but when my kid started using it we got issues with discord not accepting our IP for a few hours every few hours. (3 accounts from the same ip address). When my kid stopped using it issues stopped as well.

They probably knew who their dad was !

Quoting: pete910Shot in the dark , will this work with OBS, The OBS browser pluggin is horrendous for failing due to CEF

Should do. Give it a try and let us know :D

Well just gave it a quick go, The answers no

It's probably due to that it's not an widow as such like what the config page is.

Edit:

Is there a way to pick a specific channel/room within a server ?

Yep! Configuration can be reached either via System tray or by running discover-overlay --configure :)

Must have missed that, I can only select servers, not channels in a specific one.

Quoting: midget_3111We use their official streamkit API, so no risk of violations :)

I thought it would have done, Just looked in the branch and states this .

Ahh right. It follows whichever channel you're currently in I believe. selecting a specific channel only works for text overlays currently.

Actually thats not a bad idea thinking about if it follows the user to the relevant channel in use.
