Vesktop is a custom Discord App with an aim to give better performance and support on Linux.

v1.5.2 fixes various audio issues related to screensharing and also overhauls video streaming with various fixes/improvements:

Fix resolution and framerate selection

Fix bug that stops users from changing the streamed window (created by allowing resolution changes)

Fix bug where changing windows allows you to lower the fps but not raise it

Beautify modal for starting a stream(show preview and content type as a dropdown)

Fix issue where stream quality overlay does not update to show the current quality of the running stream

Enable contentHint and allow the user to choose between "motion" and "detail"

Allow users to start streams while watching another stream

I have been looking for a way to control my computer from the couch, using my phone... But this also isn't it. VNC just doesn't work yet with Wayland, unfortunately. And Rustdesk also didn't quite work, last time I tried it.

I use kde connect and/or sunshine myself.

Thanks, I tried Sunshine and it seems to work better! Any chance you have experience with switching between monitors with the Android Moonlight client?

Unfortunately, no, I assign one monitor that stays asleep unless I intentionally wake it. Most of my use case these days is streaming my desktop remotely over wireguard. Good luck tinkering!

Also a Sunshine user and it works pretty well. For gaming the most seamless experience is Steam Play though but sadly it’s not as good as Sunshine.
