Discord is an instant messaging and VoIP application with lots of functionality. It provides a web interface, though most users would prefer to use a client for interoperability with their system.

==== Vesktop<ref>https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop</ref> ====

As opposed to just Vencord, the same developers also offer an integrated solution which aims to make the Linux experience better.

It can be neatly managed via [[Home Manager]], or just installed as a regular package via <code>pkgs.vesktop</code>.

=== Screen sharing on Wayland ===

Discord's screen sharing ~~capabilities have been broken for [https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360047644231-Native-~~Wayland~~-Support?page=2#comments 5 years with no official fix]~~. ~~The most consistent fix involves using~~ the web version ~~of Discord alongside~~ a browser that supports screen sharing in Wayland, ~~like [[Firefox]]. Alternatively, you can use~~ an [[Discord#Unofficial Clients|unofficial client]] like ''Webcord'' or ''Vesktop'', both of which have fixed this issue in their own ways.

Since December 2024, Discord Canary supports screen sharing on Wayland. Alternatively, you can use the web version on a browser that supports screen sharing on Wayland, or an [[Discord#Unofficial Clients|unofficial client]] like ''Webcord'' or ''Vesktop'', both of which have fixed this issue in their own ways.
