Discord has finally introduced the long-awaited feature of screen sharing audio for its Linux app. This development comes as a relief to many users who have been frustrated by the lack of this functionality despite its availability on Windows and macOS.
In the latest update, Discord users on Linux can now choose to ‘share system audio’ while setting up a screen share for ongoing chats or server channels. The feature, which has been a popular request in the Discord feedback tracker for several years, was spotted by a user named Aden. They discovered the toggle for sharing system audio in the screen sharing settings, which only appears after selecting the screen or application to share.
After testing the feature, Aden confirmed that it works perfectly – allowing friends to hear in-game audio during gaming sessions shared on Discord. Aden commented that fixing this missing feature would be a significant boon for Linux as a gaming platform.
While Discord has not yet acknowledged this change in any official communications, the community is excited about this improvement. Being able to hear audio during a screen share enhances the overall experience and makes Discord a more functional platform for Linux users.
