Discord is good. But there are a couple of things that prevent my team to use it seriously:
- Message threads
- Ability to share screens when multiple people are in audio conference
- ability to "draw" over the screen while sharing
One thing I wish slack or others had that discord has is ability to select FPS for screen share: when I'm sharing the screen or camera (showing a whiteboard) I usually care more that the image looks with better detail even if it refreshes once every 20 seconds. Almost all screen sharing always introduce compression artifacts.
- jamie_ca 7y agoI think "Go Live" on discord has rolled out to everybody now? Join a voice channel, hit the button (next to Disconnect) and pick an app or screen. Needs Nitro for good quality (otherwise you're stuck at 720p). Latency is better than most other streaming things I've tried. 100% agree on the other two, though. Encouraging people to make channels as needed helps the first, but for ephemeral discussions you wind up deciding between deleting the chat log, or living with a lot of "retired" channels. And being default opt-in for notifications makes Discord _way_ more noisy than Slack could ever be.
