I don't use Discord much anymore and haven't used this program but this looks like a nice 3rd party Discord flatpak. It supports screensharing on Wayland. Just thought I'd share with the community

I've been wanting to abandon ship for years, but sadly convincing the average gamer is another story.

Which is the main reason most of us are stuck using it if we want to talk to friends.

Too bad Mumble went out of fashion

I love Mumble and in my opinion the only thing it is missing is screen sharing.

call.element.io! No account needed, seems to have good FPS from a quick test.

There’s also Parsec and https://getbananas.net/ (the latter of which I haven’t tried)

I wish it had a solution for text channels and image sharing. Even if it meant paying for a server. My friends wouldn't use it without.

You can paste images into the mumble chat and it shows for all users.

Best alternative I've found is Signal for VoIP and parsec for game streaming
