Vesktop is an alternative Discord client that loads Vencord on top of the Discord browser client. | |||
[[Category:Custom Clients]] | |||
== Features == | |||
Vesktop has: | |||
* Full support for audio screensharing on Wayland | |||
* Snappier than the official Discord app | |||
* Comes with Vencord pre-installed (gone are the days of constantly repatching!) | |||
== Backstory == | |||
[[Vendicated]] initially made this app as Vencord Desktop with no intention of supporting it further. After they noticed that people actually used it, they decided to take the project seriously and rebrand it to Vesktop. | |||
== Limitations == | |||
However, Vesktop does have some limitations that come with the base of this app: Discord Web. | |||
* No game detection using the Flatpak (games sending their presence still work with a workaround<ref>https://github.com/flathub/dev.vencord.Vesktop?tab=readme-ov-file#discord-rich-presence</ref>, but process scanning doesn't) | |||
* Ask to Join on some activities (arRPC limitation) | |||
