I'm able to do screen sharing, voice calls, video calls on element.
Group voice chat?
The ui indicates this is possible but I haven't personally tried it.
Regarding screen sharing, I wasn't able to capture application sound, but that may be a Linux issue as discord used to have the same problem.
You can always just pipe the audio through the same sink that your mic goes into or make a virtual mic that receives both and pass it on. That's how I deal with sharing applications in VCs (using qpwgraph to change the connections via GUI instead of command line).
Yeah but that's inconvenient ofc.
Depends on you use-case. For most, probably. For me, it means I only have to learn how to do it once and it works on every single platform that has voice instead of figuring out the settings for each one individually. Also means I can just share audio any platforms (allowing me to use a custom soundboard and listen to other audio without sharing that other audio easily or actually sharing my screen) or do things like add Easyeffects in the middle. But I get why some would prefer an all-in-one experience.
