    Use vesktop. Works great on Wayland and supports streaming with audio.

      From my experience, it seems like the video quality really sucks the moment you try to stream anything more complex, like a 3D game - no indication on my side, but a friend complained and I got the same result checking the stream on a second device. Frame rate drops to 2fps or worse, with bad quality on each frame.

      I remember reading an issue on vesktop about it, but sounds like it might just come down to missing HW acceleration in electron for the relevant APIs? Though if you have any suggestions and/or better results, I’d love to hear about it.

        You might just need to use a lower resolution or fps. Vesktop lets you stream at discord nitro quality, but there’s still a bitrate limit. I tend to use 720p 60fps and it works well
