Hey Sean, we both worked at Twitch Video but I left just as you were joining. I currently work on the Discord video stack and am somewhat curious about how you imagine Discord leveraging WHIP/WHEP. Do you see it as a way for these clients to broadcast outwards to services like Twitch or more as an interoperability tool?

Users what to send WHIP into discord. The lack of control on screen sharing today is frustrating. Users want to capture via another tool and control bitrate/resolution.

Most Broadcast Box users tell me that’s their reason for switching off discord.

With WHEP I want to see easier co-streaming. I should be able to connect a room to my OBS instance and everyone’s video auto show up.

I don’t have this figured out yet. Would love your opinion and feedback. Wanna comment on the doc or would love to talk 1:1 ! siobud.com/meeting

What's the plan for Wayland compatibility? For a little while I was able to share a single app - but not the full desktop. Now I can't share anything from Ubuntu 24.04 when using Wayland :(

I had to tweak a few things to make it work on my Alpine Linux. This tutorial helped a lot: https://github.com/emersion/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/wiki/%22I...
