Hello guys! sometimes I watch movies with friends over jitsi meet, and in order to share just a single window with just its own audio I use chromium, that has the “share tab” option. However, I’d like a more general solution (I cannot play mkv files on browser, for example). I’d like a compact way that creates a virtual device sharing the window (even if the window gets minimized or hidden behind other windows!) and its audio, without the audio of all other windows (I don’t want my notification sounds to be shared too). a quick online search gave me only “complex” answers, that I’ll try only if a more convenient way is not available.
[I’m running EndeavourOS KDE Wayland]
Thank to everyone in advance!
A bit less simple, but for a great solution, you could host a jellyfin server and give each friend their own user account in order to then use the syncplay feature.
I already have a jellyfin instance, but syncplay didn’t works very reliably for me, some users experienced freezing, jumps and other problems
Thanks for the suggestion anyway!
I love the idea of that feature, but it is not at all reliable in my experience.
