Call For Testing: Webcord

Webcord is an electron based FOSS client for Discord and Spacebar. Though, the snap almost the same like discord snap. I would like to know if screenshare in general and in wayland works or not, nvidia and other small details. I would like if the community tries this snap and gives me some feedback. Only then I’ll push it to stable.

To install it:

sudo snap install webcord --edge

I just setup my previous workstation for my daughter to use steam. It’s ubuntu 22.04 still, wayland, gnome. She wants to screen share with discord and I remember reading about “webcord” which claims to do. I saw this snap, and I used --edge. I thought snap, wayland, discord, there is no way this is going to work.

It worked right away. Amazing.

You don’t need to use edge anymore :slight_smile: It’s now in stable.

After allowing camera and mic access, I had to reload the app in order for Webcord to see it.

I also have a global menu and it’s not respecting it. In addition, the icon on the title bar is the Wayland icon
