  A browser. Element web client and jitsi client are included as browser clients. They could install element if they want a client software that automatically starts etc.

    This would allow them to share their screen + system audio excluding Element’s own sound while playing a game, like Discord does? No extra hoops like installing OBS to function as a webcam? If it really is that easy, I’ll absolutely install this stack as soon as I can. But every time I’ve tried discord “alternatives”, there’s always either a whole series of steps you have to jump through to screenshare (and forget about screen sharing a single app instead of an entire monitor, and forget about sharing sound without causing the streamer to echo the viewer’s voice), or the screensharing has multi-second lag (no matter how good the client and server’s connection is - testing this was done on purely local setups on Ethernet).

    You’d think a direct peer to peer connection or “server” connection that’s… Functionally a peer would have less lag than the one that needs to phone home over the internet and perform downscaling on the feed to upsell Nitro, but that hasn’t been my experience.

      Try it out. You can try element and jitsi its free. Just test some matrix server.
