Oh no, so I won’t get to see that one person who is always the only person who turns their camera on so you get to see a live feed of their messy bedroom, weirdly harsh lighting and piles of junk while they try to eat dinner while playing video games.
The thing is that Discord is sort of like three or four things all in one and it’s really difficult to find a good replacement that does them all while still having a nice userbase.
If it’s a personal friend group and we’re talking about life or sharing things or watching a piece of media, or the meeting is about each other, sure, makes sense to show up and “be there.”
When it’s gaming acquaintances and we’re just playing a game, it feels odd and out of place.
Something about it isn’t as super-convenient like Discord but, Signal desktop has a pretty good screen presentation mode that works pretty well. I dunno how bad the latency is or anything though.
I agree, the app makes it very easy to share and collaborate and make communities around sharing content, so I think there’s going to be a vacuum that will get quickly filled by up-and-coming companies trying to compete on ground floor.
Team speak is voice mainly, but yea.

Wow this felt oddly personal.
Have you never wanted to view your friends face?

Some people must have friends who have faces for radio. Lol
Me and my friends use it to stream our gameplay or watch movies and stuff together. Nothing else I’ve seen really allows you to do that easily.

could be about the missing chat features.
