In an apparent effort to boost revenues, gaming social media startup Discord plans to implement ads into its free service. The step is expected in the coming days after 9 years of ad-free experience.

I don’t think people on this sub use it, but it’s great news for us. The worse it gets the likelier people move on.

    I actually havent tried if screensharing works but jitsi seems to work very well in there. Even the german government uses it so I suppose it might be able to do that.

      I know for a fact you can screen share in jitsi as I have seen it done.

        In that case it should be no problem in matrix, assuming it uses a full version of jitsi.

      There’s a huge difference between streaming games and streaming PowerPoint slideshows

          Telling Discord users to switch to Matrix because “it works like a charm” is incorrect, considering how Discord is used.

          “It’s tolerable if you can put up with the low bit rate and high latency” is more accurate.

      I frequently use Jitsi w/screensharing. Been using it for quite a while this way with good results.
