I've heard of this before. Stupid question, but what's the risk of being banned from Discord for using it?

ffs include screenshots in your projects it is not that hard.
Mmm could I build it as a Flatpak with said PRs?
I've had to use discord-screenaudio to get audio share over Wayland at least.
When I stream, I use OBS and YouTube anyway for 1440p60fps AV1 🤔.
AppImage is a lot better than Flatpak because it isn't a walking security nightmare (http://flatkill.org).
But yeah, I got a build working with the PR. I'm not on my computer right now, but it's a pinned PR in the GitHub issues for the WebCord project. You go to the fork with the branch, you run a couple of quick npm commands and then you can do a build.
I did have to remove a few of the package makers because they'd set it up to do a .deb build, and I haven't used apt in years. I vaguely think they had a Flatpak or a Snapcraft package maker in there too, but I don't use those.
You run the make and package commands which you can find in the package.json file, then it outputs a built application for you.
One thing that annoys me about discord is the screenshare popout, ideally I'd like to pop each screen out individual instead of only being able to popout the entire block. For example I'd like to keep webcams on my left monitor and have someone's shared screen in full screen on the right. I get round this by having two accounts but would be good to have a native solution
WebCord is a working native solution.
The Devs had also upgraded a lot of Electron stuff and security problems that the official Discord client doesn't do, as well as fix a lot of bugs and issues that Discord haven't bothered with.
Oh, and if you're using KDE Plasma, it uses the Qt file picker and not the GTK one.
