# discord-screenaudio
A very WIP custom discord client that supports streaming with audio on Linux,
made possible by the
[great work](https://github.com/edisionnano/Screenshare-with-audio-on-Discord-with-Linux)
of @edisionnano and the
[Rohrkabel library](https://github.com/Soundux/rohrkabel) by @Curve.

## Installation
If you are using Arch, you can build and install
[from the AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/discord-screenaudio). If you
aren't, you will have to [build it yourself](#building-from-source).
## Building from Source
### Requirements
- Basic building tools
- CMake
- Qt5 and QtWebEngine
- **PipeWire** (it currently doesn't work with PulseAudio)
- Git
On Debian:
`apt install -y build-essential cmake qtbase5-dev qtwebengine5-dev pkg-config libpipewire-0.3-dev git`
### Building
To build the program, run this in the source directory:
```bash
cmake -B build
cmake --build build --config Release
```
And then to optionally install it, run:
```bash
sudo cmake --install build
```
## How it works
This whole project is based on
[this](https://github.com/edisionnano/Screenshare-with-audio-on-Discord-with-Linux)
repository, which very nicely explains how to stream audio in the web version of
Discord. Basically: a virtual microphone is created which captures the
application audio, and this microphone is then fed to the Discord stream by
intercepting a API call of Discord.
