      I actually havent tried if screensharing works but jitsi seems to work very well in there. Even the german government uses it so I suppose it might be able to do that.

            Telling Discord users to switch to Matrix because “it works like a charm” is incorrect, considering how Discord is used.

            “It’s tolerable if you can put up with the low bit rate and high latency” is more accurate.
