>Starting today, we will be testing out Video Chat and Screen Sharing with 5% of desktop players (registered before today). This will roll out through the day.
>We’re still at least a month out from considering a full launch. Why? We’re measuring and testing bandwidth; acquiring and implementing more backend servers; and praying our code actually works. This takes time. It could also be longer than a month. What we do know is that it’s good enough to start testing and this is the most soon soon that we’ve ever sooned.
Not really features I care very much about.
Anyone know much about Matrix/Riot? A good alternative to Discord?
Don't have much of an issue with Discord, but some more competition and open source alternatives in the future would be nice.

The desktop clients suck incredibly. Discord Chrome wrapped abortion at least performs miles better.

okay lad
>>61854970

What is God on their testing team or something?

No, it's the "lol we are just like you guys we make mistakes xd quirky!!" talk they do in every blog post and every changelog and everything. But in reality it's because the servers are COMPLETE shit. A discord server has so many people it is usually down for weeks until a blue moon passes over discord hq and it comes up for a hour.

I don't have this problem.
>>61856753
This. Fucking imgur's gifv is supported too, which is just an mp4.
Closed Source Botnet
>>61854970
this already works through an exploit on stable to enable dev mode
its pretty good
>>61856753
too hard to write a little script?
>>61857540
Every program is like this, just many of them are geared more for professionals so they don't outright say 'we hope this shit works' they say 'this should fix the 23452-ss345d3fg89a bug'

only time I have ever come across a webm in the wild was a chan.
>>61857682
how?
>>61858298
>he doesn't know
>>61857700
what difference does it make if my friends can't see them?
>our servers are ready to record your videos now too
>>61858370
tell us friend, although you're probably one of the users that got video calls.
>>61858427
it's patched in stable 0.0.298
Discord is the uTorrent of messaging. It's become the bloated monstrosity it set out to replace.
>>61858556
utorrent install size is smaller than qbitorrent and feature wise they are returning to the traditional stuff removing bloat the last ceo tried to insert
>>61854970
>tfw I'm the 5%
I don't even have a webcam to test it
