Given the recent controversies surrounding Discord and the fact that the end user is a product of Twitch, I wonder if there is any “bare bone” solution to stream my gaming session to a friend who’s on Windows. I’d rather that they didn’t have to do anything except clicking on a link or perhaps installing a piece of software but with no need to do any configuration. From their perspective, it should "just work.
On my side
Should I set up a webserver into which I feed an OBS stream? Or can perhaps ffmpeg work as a server on it’s own?
I’m on Arch Linux, playing games on Steam, within dwm within X11.
On my friend’s side
No idea how a windows user is supposed to receive such a video feed.
Edit: text and voice chat, we’re considering Signal for.
Just turn off screenshotting…? This is a user error problem mate.
Wow, why didn’t I or any of the people below think of or try to fix it that way?!
Because it doesn’t work, smartass.
Edit to add: there is no option to disable screenshots in Steam. You can change they key binding, which I have to no avail. I have even set the keybind to None, yet it continues taking screenshots.
This has been going on for a years. The only thing that fixes it is disabking tge Steam overlay completely.
