I want to stream videos with audio on my pc to my friends. I'm on linux, and video streaming is broken on discord (no audio of the source gets shared). Looping audio through mic (Soundux) results in poor audio quality, while discord-screenaudio just provides stuttery video. Any suggestions what to do?

I use a laptop with R4600H chip and 1650Ti.

    Surprised people didn't mention Hyperbeam (former Tutturu) https://watch.hyperbeam.com/ You can't upload your own stuff but you can just go to a streaming site and open any show you want

        I'm pretty sure you can plug obs input into things like teams or zoom. But I doubt the quality is worth a shit.

        Not op. But...

        On Linux I set up OBS to capture my game window and from obs you are able to set the captured screen as a webcam stream.

        On Linux I had to install some stuff to get a restream of the audio. It looped the game audio into a virtual mic.

        So...

        I Jitsi I just set my mic and video to the appropriate obs-made virtual cam and mic.

        My upload maxes at 10mb/s

        So I didn't have the best luck with Jitsi. Definitely not full screen quality.

        But OBS might come in handy if you find another way to stream.

        OBS I believe is available for windows, Linux, and Mac.

    When I try to have movie nights with friends I’ll jus take the file, open it with chrome; and share my chrome screen on discord. For some reason that works for me.

    I'm looking for the same solution but to stream a game screen.

    I got obs to work with Jitsi but it's low quality.
