Ok sir
Vesktop is giving me a javaspript error (spawn EPERM) on my other laptop were I have windows 10 lot ltsc.
so i'm not the only one with errors
though mine's write EPIPE
curious
Here's the complete error message btw
Do anyone knows why cinnamon on Linux mint don't work with the discord icon notifications? It didn't show when I don't see my messages
new imagefilename plugin doesn't work on vesktop (but works on vencord with stable discord) [macOS]

cant repro on windows (canary)
Hey, I've used Vesktop for a while but had to switch to vanilla because screensharing was a lot worse. It's a new Arch install so I was exploring a bit.
Anyways, I looked it up and it seems like 8 months ago Discord did update screensharing under Linux. Did Vesktop somehow not get the update (old build) or is it much complex case? Screensharing is a lot smoother (even its UI) on vanilla, but everything else is horrible, like 2 title bars (actually 3, with the third being blank on screenshare window...)
Also, I think it's using hardware encoding perfectly as the quality is good (because Discord's SW encoding is garbage and my friends can instantly tell) so there's that. It's broken under Vesktop no matter what I install. KDE Plasma 6.4.4
screensharing is a native module so weβre independent from discord changes on that
I was reading on it, damn wasn't expecting it was a browser wrapper
are there any native clients or mods to the vanilla client? (like on windows). I looked at the github sheet but it doesn't really list that info
Same here, and it is annoying as I need to re-share my screen like every minute, otherwise quality turns to shit...
And I use screensharing a lot...
How do i install vesktop?
coming here just for a quick question
Every once in awhile, plasmashell shits itself, which, is not unlike plasmashell, but it seems to be linked to Vesktop, once i quit vesktop, everything goes back to normal, and i was wondering if this was something I could fix easily (as its a known bug), or if its just plasmashell being plasmashell
disable hw accel and/or add LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 on vesktop invokation
same here, it worked on 21 but not on 22
Hi, unsure if I'm asking in the right place :
Is there any way to get rid of this topmost bar ? I can tinker and theme, but I have no clue where to look for something like this, if it is even possible
- #π¨-theme-development for these types of questions
- #π¨-css-snippets message
Ah, so it is a theme thing. I'll scoot over there, thanks !
i know that im not really asking for help but i couldn't find much information on the vesktop page nor anywhere else here so im just here to ask. What is the use of vesktop and how it differentiates from the use of vencord? im sorry if its not the channel to ask it on but the wiki is just "hei" so thats the only place where i tought i can ask.
^
hi, how can i put a plugin
If you are trying to install plugins from the third party plugins channel, see the pinned message there.
Do not ask for further help or you will lose access to support. If you cannot figure it out with the pinned message, it's not for you.
Absolutely no support is provided with such installs. If you want to ask for help with bugs / issues, install the regular way.

does anyone know if theres a way to turn off youtube automatically translating embedded videos?
alright thank you, so its like a specialized client that focuses on privacy and compatibility, like a fork rather than just a discord client for plugins etc.
Well it also comes with plugins
yeah im just saying what is different
Streaming to my friends only show a black screen and my mouse any fixes I could try?
is there a way to add chromium/electron flags permanently, on the flatpak? i want to add --enable-features=AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL,AcceleratedVideoEncoder and it works via CLI, but i tried adding access to my .config/chromium-flags.conf and .config/electron-flags.conf and neither of them seem to be passing the flags through
Hi, I've installed the debian package of Vesktop and all works fine except I cannot add a Video source in the Voice & Video section.
This is what is says. Any help is appreciated.
vesktop set itself to my default app for opening html files lmao
Is vesktop an electron app?
yes
thanks
two options to do this:
- edit the .desktop file (under
(flatpak install directory)/app/dev.vencord.Vesktop/current/active/export/share/applications/dev.vencord.Vesktop.desktop) by adding it as a flag to the Exec parameter (difficult/annoying to do for system installs), this might reset on reinstall/update, ymmv - maaaaaybe create a
(flatpak install directory)/app/dev.vencord.Vesktop/.config/folder and stick it in there? Unsure if this would work but there's no reason it shouldn't? You might have to pass extra flags to flatpak to get it to mount the override folder, ymmv, check flatpak docs
I'm experiencing an issue where the AppImage of Vesktop currently tries to open the "Install firefox!" thing in the system installer rather than opening any links, because I'm using the firefox Flatpak and it seems to just be... I mean. hm. I don't understand what it's doing there to prompt that behaviour uhhh, I suspect my XDG config is screwed up somehow, or it's not touching xdg properly (xdg-settings says the system web browser is correctly set to org.mozilla.firefox.desktop so...)
would loooove some help with this, thanks π₯²
how can i launch my summer car with vencord opened? My summer car was built in unity 5.3 or like so, and there is a bug that wont let you run unity player if there are any electron/chromuim apps running (linux only). It was fixed in unity 5.4, but msc uses older version of unity
how do i use the ignore activitives plugin
it seem that i dont know how to make it work
find the id of the activity here
https://www.presencedb.com/
im sorry but i dont know where to find the id in this website
system (you) issue
if you're using mimeo, that's why
mimeo is just buggy idk
seems to happen on any electron app that sets itself as handler for any url if you're using mimeo https://forum.obsidian.md/t/obsidian-keeps-overriding-my-browser-for-http-s-links-in-mimeapps-list-on-linux/73949/11
After talking with another linux user in the discord we identified that my installation of mimeo was actually what was causing this behavior. If youβre using mimeo please remove (if possible) and use an alternative. It looks like this might have been affecting more than just obsidian, but any app I opened that had mimetype handlers to register...
vesktop sets itself as handler for discord:// urls
I'll report it to mimeo later if I don't forget
how to put a image in CostumRPC plugin?
hope its ok to bump this given that I can't click on links in discord and have them work lol
hi Just wana know what is "New Virtual Output" exactly pls
(on Arch Linux KDE Plasma)
this is not part of vesktop, this is part of kde
ooh okay thanks
cant have vesktop installed with vscodium same for opposite
what am i doing wrong?
basically everything 
cooked gpu, missing portals
- don't run in wayland, use XWayland mode
- install portals, google how to
yo bro go dm when u have the time
sorry I'm new to linux i just installed it yesterday π
what distro & de are you using
arch with hyprland
but i messed up by doing a minimal install of arch and then installing hyprland afterwards which explains the missing portals
you should probably start off with a simpler setup if you're new π otherwise you're probably gonna have a bad experience with many issues like you had with vesktop
i tried linux mint before this and it was too windows-like
lmao
Hello.
I have a question.
Is there a way to change icon on taskbar(together with volume settings and bla bla) on Linux? Ive changed icon of a symlink, but i cannot find a way to change a tray icon.
hey, is it normal, to get this pop ups (when opening, and closing) vesktop? it is like that for more than 2 weeks. My friend on linux also gets a notification like that every time, but nothing changes..
Hey, I have been running vesktop on NixOS for a few months and before a reboot I cannot share my screen anymore, this is the error that the app returns:

Any ideas?
Seems pipewire related, I already checked vesktop updates, system updates and rebooted computer, just to be sure
i assume i still can't run hevc videos on discord even if i have these?
vainfo: VA-API version: 1.22 (libva 2.22.0) vainfo: Driver version: VA-API NVDEC driver [direct backend]
are you a dev?
can you come dm
yes i did, i don't wanna waste dev time by not reading their manual, my issue is i have what vulkan and intel have so im asking why can't i run it
try looking for a solution here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=244031
see what works for you
you'll probably wanna look at the last pages
actually run this first and show the output:
vainfo 2>/dev/null | grep HEVC | grep VAEntrypointVLD
my gpu does support hevc if u woindering, since i can run them fine on my windows environment
you c an just message me
run that command and show the output
cant u gotta add me
alrighit one sec
VAProfileHEVCMain : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileHEVCMain10 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileHEVCMain12 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileHEVCMain444 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileHEVCMain444_10 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileHEVCMain444_12 : VAEntrypointVLD
Check privacy settings for this server
okay so yes that confirms you do have it working
ty
just see that arch thread then
well i did, and it kinda crashed my Vesktop IE i was seeing just outline of the window and nothing inside it, i runned this command
dev.vencord.Vesktop --enable-features=Vulkan,DefaultANGLEVulkan,VulkanFromANGLE,VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks,VaapiVideoDecoder --render-node-override=/dev/dri/renderD129
more info, i am running vesktop on hyprland with native wayland no xwayland (xwayland crash and does not support drag n drop)
like I said look at the thread for solutions
the thing is i feel like its electron issue and licensing and must wait for discord to implement it naively
i've been on this issue for 4 days now, and i came here for conformation to know its on my end issue or their end issue
no just look at that arch thread π
it's just chromium
you have to pass the right flags to chromium and that's it
Well this give me hope again, will try thank you
Question do you recommend vesktop from flatpak or straight from git with yay
cuz maybe flatpak sandbox environment is causing non passthrough?
dont use flatpak
noted will try the previous solution with a yay installiont of vesktop
try kde first, what I started with alongside nixos and then switched to hyprland + nixos
what's the difference between just using vencord on a discord client and using vesktop? I've got both and I don't really seem much of a difference besides the launch screen being different
^
arRPC is not working
So I'm playing Hollow Knight (which has a native port). It's not in detectable.json originally. Is there any way to add it? I'm using the .rpm.
Also, the auto-update doesn't work, it seems to try using zypper even though I'm on fedora.
It works on the standalone version of arRPC with vencord web after adding it to the detectable.json file, but I also can't seem to find the plugin to enable that version.
It works if I force it to use proton, as well.

so.. how do I get screensharing to work? It worked fine, but didn't have audio. I installed pipewire-pulse to try to fix that, but it broke screensharing, then I uninstalled pipewire-pulse since I don't care about audio anymore, but it's still broken. tried to factory reset pipewire, but that doesn't work
I have a new app issue. In the latest Vesktop, Vesktop Settings, Plugins and Screenshare crashes on "Could not find select component". What information should i provide? I tried the "repair Vencord" option and also updated Vencord/Vesktop to the latest.
(Also posted wrongly in #π₯-vencord-support-π₯ but that has been removed mb)
oh yeah i see you have the same issue, maybe its canary only?
the problem is i cant even switch back to stable because Vesktop Settings crashes as well
you can
help me π
Vesktop.Settings.store.discordBranch = 'stable'```
do i run this in the console as JS or where?
yeah
sorry wrong reply
i swear i didn't hit reply there lmao
yes run in console
and restart and it auto installs?
yeah
ok so it is canary only
is vesktop on aur for git clone or no :3 and if it is which one is the offical vers
vesktop is on aur and git is recommended to get latest bug fixs
vesktop-git thats what i got
thankksssss
vesktop-bin and vesktop-git are officially supported
vesktop is not
-git is bleeding edge so you might have some issues
okey tank you
is there a way to get discord canary experimental features on vesktop or my account need to be tagged
Same as discord desktop
But you also donβt want to use canary
i need help my vesktop wont let me unmute
reason i wanna use canary because they added hevc support so maybe that finally fix my issue
Supposedly they did in 2024
well they added one just yesterday
so i thought it was for Linux since Linux have issue with it, here the message
no idea how to do it on discord desktop btw
Just use the experiments plugin
No need to change builds
wouldn't that get me banned?
Cuz i heard it have admin tools and such, scary stuff
is there any staff or someone who can help me figure out whyt i cant unmute
If its safe, no
Yesnt
how do i know if its safe or not?
Experiments enable experiments as well as a few tools discord staff use, you can just optionally not use them (which you cant use anyways)
Good question
But either way, canary and ptb (in simple but wrong occasionally terms) just enable experiments by default
Sorry if im asking a lot this will be last question, so i can get the hevc experimental feature on the stable version?
Only one way to find out
omg swapping to stable fixed crashing when i try screensharing thank you
anyone able to help ?
does it unmute when you join a vc
no
even when i go to voice setting i hear my self but the bar wont light up
does vesktop have mic perms
when i test mic in the voice setting i can hear myself but the bar wont light up
and how would i check taht
depends on the os
win
10
got no clue then
i hear my self but the voice metter dosnt work
and it says there is not mic access but again i can hear my self
but the exact same setting i have on vesktop i have on normal disc and it works
Hi i have problem. I buy new pc, and now i have problem with discord. I got 5000 ping when i speak discord in background and play games or use browser sametime. Idk whats wrong and idk how to fix it
not a vencord/vesktop issue
sorry if this was answered already but would vesktop be getting an update on the aur anytime soon?
hey all, vesktop isn't loading for me. i haven't done anything special, it just doens't wnat to load. I tried running it in a terminal and i dont see any weird output

Just ask the question itself
i have noticed the stock gradient themes lag the client heavily
yes i have hw accel on
never mind i found the cause
the gradient is related but not the source
its when im in a specific channel where a lot of people have decorations on
since when has game activity worked with vesktop?
was it a discord update to add support to the web ver?
it has always worked with vesktop due to using arrpc
i dont have that setup though and its showing my played game
becsuse vesktop has it integrated
this is the only active channel in my servers ist. i am in 20 servers
ok?
and?
I have multiple times
Hi :D Usually I'd report this to Waybar but since this only appears to happen with the Vencord tray icon - and because Ive really been wanting to drop in to thank you guys for great work :)) -- I only see the VC tray icon if once a session I deactivate and reactivate it in Vencord settings manually. This is on Arch+Hyprland+Waybar, Vesktop/Canary from the arch repos.
Also sorry if this isnt the right channel, I skimmed the list and this looked the least wrong. If this isnt a Vencord related issue at all sorry for clogging ya tubez, just wanted to do my communal due diligence
can you try with other electron apps? like the normal discord app
Just did, Icon shows up as it should right away and remains.
can you run /vencord-debug please
Hey so, quick question, on vesktop a few days ago I started having an issue where after a little while (sometimes 15 minutes, sometimes an hour) when im in a VC I randomly wont be able to hear anyone anymore, but they can still hear me, leaving and rejoining the call immediately fixes this but it's really annoying to have to do, has anyone else come accross this issue and/or found a solution? I'm on Gentoo atm

Apologies had to step away for a while. I assume the debug output above shows?
So, this might not be something that is easily fixed but, Discord rolled out an update to me that removed the inbox on Vesktop, and now I only have this little notification bell that never actually shows me notifications. Is there some way to fix this other than just completely restarting everything from scratch?
dev://experiment/2025-04_desktop_notification_center
enable Experiments plugin then this should show an embed
set to Not Eligible
I can't believe it was that easy. THANK YOU SO MUCH. It's been a headache for two months.
this won't work forever
if Discord go through with this feature, the experiment will be removed and forced eventually
I figured as much. But at least if it rolls out for everyone, they will either fix the problems, or enough people will complain it will get rolled back.
Because complaining to Discord themselves resulted in basically "so what?"
anyone know where i can find a solution for getting stylus working for firefox 
wrong channel, this is for vesktop
Did getting off the ptb fix this for you? I'm on stable and still having this issue 
randomly showed up after one day recently
Does anybody else notice that clicking on links that go outside of Vesktop no longer work (on linux - nobara/plasma)? I have to copy the link.
i cant stream with audio but i can stream normally without audio what is wrong
I often have to click several times before it works (cachyos plasma)
Nope, even that doesn't work. It worked fine up until I'ld like to say last week or a week before that, broke around then and to this day.
make sure you have xdg-utils and, if you're using flatpak, portals
my vencord literally disapears

Hi! Does anyone have issues with screensharing not working for people past the first viewer and screensharing also having random green lines show up for viewers? It seems fine on the regular discord app
vesktop doesnt let me sharescreen with audio but it does allow me to sharescreen without audio what do i do
try disabling video hw accel in Vesktop Settings (a section in the User Settings)
i get flashbanged every time i open vesktop
how to make vesktop start at my second monitor, i couldn't make it work with usual methods. (windows) sorry if this has been discussed, only saw a github issue but that was for wayland
i need the link
link to what? vesktop?
Should I give vesktop full access to my home directory?
I trust it that it wouldn't do anything weird and I'm getting a bit annoyed at now drag & drop and the clipboard breaks
Not even in the server anymore
you can review the source code https://github.com/vencord/vesktop
but absolutely no data is sent away or anything
there's no reason not to
its not gonna do anything with it
hello! a while ago one of my themes broke bc github is blocked by vencord, i pressed allow and restarted but the message is still there and the theme doesnt work, and clicking allow doesnt do anything
github isnβt blocked, whatβs your link
Hello! I've been working for months on aRRPC to improve game detection, and removing the webrichpresence plugin essentially killed any hope of finishing it since I can't replace the bundled arrpc with my local copy anymore. What do I do?
just build vesktop from source
follow these instructions https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop#building-from-source
after the pnpm i and before building, you will also want to run pnpm i path/to/your/arrpc/folder
Doesn't seem to work for me. I'll revisit this tomorrow as I have to sleep now
ah yes, because you need to apply a patch to it
lol automod screamed at me for asking help about building it
I needed to shove the websocket package in
u should ask in #πͺ -progaming if u have more questions
it's blocked here cause we don't provide support for building from source
Thanks! I couldn't figure out the right channel when I joined
how is vesktop different from discord+vencord? besides improved performance and no telemetry
pros (for vesktop):
lightweight
faster (depending on your machine)
better linux support
vencord preinstalled (wont uninstall from discord updates)
better privacy
cons (for vesktop):
no global keybinds (yet)
no game overlay
game activity can be finicky sometimes
windows streaming subpar
thanks
Does vesktop block role syncing with other games like vencord does or is it different?
it was working fine but like a month ago it starting hating
guys i put in obsidian's code for making the discord thing smaller and now i cant access settings or anything
what do i do
im not using vesktop
use a raw.githubusercontent.com link
complain in the snippet thread
if there isnβt make one
if i uninstall vencord then reinstall does everrything but quickcss save?
open the dev tools with CTRL + Shift + i (Cmd + Option + i on MacOs) and click on the "console" tab at the top. Then paste and run (with enter) the following code.
It will
- disable custom css (you can turn it back on in Vencord Settings)
- copy your current theme links to your clipboard as a backup
- remove all themes
(() => {
Vencord.Settings.useQuickCss = false
try {
const copy = window.copy ?? Vencord.Webpack.Common.Clipboard.copy
copy(Vencord.Settings.themeLinks.join("\n"))
} catch { }
Vencord.Settings.themeLinks = []
Vencord.Settings.enabledThemes = []
})()
how do i make it so i dont see the reward available thing it takes up so much space
does the desktop environment that i use impact vesktops ability to detect rich presence
Shouldn't
then its just retroarch having a problem
hi guys i downloaded vesktop today how do i change the icon and the loading window to look normal i really dont want to see a furry every time it makes me question myself
you dont
live with it
lol

you can turn off the splash
hey how can I change the colour of the title bar and logo Tried it but yeah that was mess ngl.

So, I don't use flatpak, and I have rich presence enabled in the Vesktop options.
However, my question is what else do I need to install?
When I launch Steam games (not flatpak either), they are not being detected.
Here's what I found:
- wine-discord-ipc-bridge -> this means I have to add
/opt/wine-discord-ipc-bridge/winediscordipcbridge-steam.sh %command%to EVERY single game (I have hundreds) - arRPC -> no idea how to make it work, I guess some coding required to make it automatically discover games
- JustTemmie/steam-presence (on GitHub) -> this works from Steam API keys and updates your Discord via API key as well, sorta just ignores arrpc altogether
- EnderIce2/rpc-bridge -> one more rpc bridge, no idea what it does
- openglfreak/winestreamproxy -> yet another rpc bridge
- ... honestly, there's just so many options, I'm confused π€£
Why is this isn't in #1257025907625951423 ?
rpc bridges are what route the windows pipes under wine to Linux
arrpc is built-in to vesktop
I mean, what should be the default option that is supported by vesktop? Then we can support it across many distros and not have 5 different implementations that try to do the same thing π
?? rpc bridges are explicitly for games that implement discord RPC
vesktop with arrpc can do process detection just fine on wine games
and I guess there is a second question: why do I even have problem if not using flatpak at all, as if it should just work out of the box but for some reason it doesnβt for me, and there are no debugging steps either to see what might be the problem
Is there a wiki on rich presence support ?
launch from terminal show logs
you should see arrpc logs
some games are also not detected right (mainly newer games)
Oki, Iβll try tomorrow.
Games I tried so far:
- Factorio
- No Manβs Sky
- Path of Exile 2
- Warframe
- Helldivers 2
Some old ones and new ones in there. Surely at least one should work, right?
nms def works do you have arrpc disabled
I only have vesktop, I did not install arrpc separately. As far as I understand I donβt need to because vesktop already have it installed and I did enable it in the settings; but no idea how to check if itβs working, will try the βstart from terminal to see logsβ route tomorrow
why did vencord get removed again? like its gone in my settings again

i have question i know the vencord but whats vesktop??
and whats the difference
I am using vesktop on a KDE Plasma 6.4 desktop (Gentoo Linux) with my displays set to 150% scaling. When I use vesktop it is very clearly scaling up from a lower resolution rather than rendering at the fractional scaling rate.
Attached is a side-by-side of vesktop (left) and discord running in a borderless firefox window (right), note the much sharper thumbnails and text
I checked the known issues but didn't seem to find anything for "dpi, ppi, blurry, scaling"
Nevermind, the solution was to set the "Legacy applications (X11)" setting in the display menu to "Apply scaling themselves"
In case anyone is looking in the future
or run vesktop in wayland
I haven't done anything to modify my install, and I'm on wayland, is there something more I need to do to force it to use wayland?
I'm guessing something with electron?
hey whats the difference between vencord and vesktop?
I installed through a gentoo ebuild. Looking at the ebuild it seems to pull the binary from the official github
Do not ping other users for support (including replying with a ping to unrelated support messages). Do not send direct messages or friend requests for help.
you need to run with vesktop --ozone-platform-hint=auto
That seems to be working. Thanks much!
I'm having a similar issue.
update
Oneβs a client mod, the other is a custom app
u lf "always trust"?
also thats for #π₯-vencord-support-π₯
doesn't it matter that i'm using vesktop, otherwise idk why i'd ask there
This is for vesktop (the app) issues
ah
#π₯-vencord-support-π₯ is for vencord
Hence why the bot says βour custom discord appβ
anyways this should be what u are looking for, otherwise idk what annoying download warning there is
What os
Vesktop kinda sucks at rich presence from my experience on windows so
whats rich presence π
The thing you are asking for
If you are that desperate for games to show up more reliably, yes
like what
forza horizon 5 and i dont really remember but there were few more
alright
isnt there any fix for it ?
it should just work
do other games work fine?
Also
vs dbg

Client: stable ~ Vesktop v1.5.8
Platform: Win32
like if i play valorant it works fine but then if i play others it wont
god why dont i remember the name...
arrpc needs updates for Windows
yeah just use the normal discord app if it's not working for you and you really need it
alrighty then
appeciate it
any idea when its gonna get fixed ?
So I tested these games and interestingly only some games work, not everything.
What are my next steps to figure out why does Factorio doesn't show up for example?
I believe Factorio is Linux-native, Steam folder contains Linux binaries and .so files
dont you think after getting automodded 3 times you'd get the hint?
I dont know..
it says in the automodded reason
Ok mb sorry
hello!
rich presence is not working on my install (proton games).
Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20250829
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0
Qt Version: 6.9.2
Kernel Version: 6.16.3-1-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
vesktop is installed directly (NOT with flatpak). rich presence toggle is on. arrpc repo page says it should just work with the toggle on, no server required.
tried games: war thunder, cs2, cosmoteer.
Try installing from installer
Vesktop is different to vencord
for me works fine.
Cause rich presence is unreliable
Ik and I use vesktop.
Yup
But vesktop installer is more good then portable.
Wouldnβt change how rich presence works
what does that mean? I've installed it using RPM package
go to the installation page choose windows then install installer.
They arent on windows
bro Im on linux
Oh then u can figure it our u are probably better then me.
They are I litereally Installed it yesterday.
opensuse is not Windows
^
I said, they (the person) is not on windows
Mb sorry

I found this MR: https://github.com/OpenAsar/arrpc/pull/143
basically it would be nice if I can build custom vesktop version with this temporary arrpc branch I guess
oh that's the person who made that pr
idk why but most of the time my screen shares are so blurry that, you cant read anything there
any ideas?
yo guys
my mic is no detected by vesktop
vesktop detect the digital one
but it's the stereo one that works please help
So, I'm aware Vesktop works better than patching the native Discord App. However, with my StreamDeck from Elgato, it cannot find the Discord application as it's.. with it's reasons, not called Discord. Is there any way you guys know how to fix that? I'm just assuming i have to go back to patching normal discord to fix this?
yes
Hmm ok.. Guess ill hope discord stops destroying the client every week then..
Thanks!
do i need discord to use vesktop?
I tried vencord and the section just did not show up in settings so i thought id try vesktop
No, only vesktop.
Is it supposed to load a long time on the first startup
No
I couldn't get past the loading
Try to do a clean install of everything
Could also just right click the icon in the tray and repair (if itβs there)
How long should it take to load
Pretty much the same as regular Discord.
sometimes no imaged load, or even text loads ( my internet is fast enough )
is it because of some plugin or something?
what
how do i use push to talk outside of discord
Hello guys, just to verify https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop this is the official repository, right?

how do i use push to talk outside of discord on linux
hey. so i've been trying to get arrpc working on vesktop, but it just doesn't work since i am using the flatpak version. (i specifically want to stay with the flatpak version)
i've read that it can be possible to make it work if you run your own instance of arrpc, which i successfully did. the issue is i do not know how to transform that into vesktop actually receiving the info from the server. i've heard you have to enable the WebRichPresence (arRPC) plugin, which isn't in vesktop, due to the already built-in integration, which i cannot really modify the parameters of.
there's hardly any info out there about this, so i would really appreciate some help, i don't have a lot of experience with doing things like this.
anyone know if it's possible to change the gay icon?
Been searching to see if this was already mentioned, found some references in other channels, but nothing in the Vesktop one.
I'm running Vesktop 1.5.8, both as a portable standalone app and as a webclient. In neither of them does the plugin SpotifyControls interface show above my account panel.
Is this a known issue?
you're not playing anything
Ah
Was expecting to show regardless, so I could start playing from there.
thx
heyo! installed vesktop and looked around both the desktop settings and in the server for anything related to the discord tray icon and voice detection. that feature being implemented soon? or did i miss it somewhere?
most interesting thing i found was https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop/pull/517 so it looks like it hasnt been added yet
global keybinds don't work on vesktop
does anyone know how to disable "Bypass System Audio Input Processing" in voice and video settings, it doesnt show up on vesktop
you can try to disable the system setting instead
it probably doesn't show up on vesktop because it's likely to be a proprietary implementation in the original discord app
i feel like this counts as worth asking about, whats up with the wiki page being just "hei", is it gonna be updated ?
yes
how do you mean?
if you go into Windows settings, then go to your sound settings you should find a way to select your speakers and go into advanced options to disable the sound processing from there
where they work?
normal discord desktop with vencord installed
how do i use global keybinds
you use normal discord with vencord installed
instead of vesktop
i am but i don't think its works
it does

Hi Ari, if you go to Settings > Vencord > Open Settings Folder > Settings.json > search for "arRPC" > set to true > restart vesktop it should work. It will boot up and state "failed to connect to arRPC, is it running?" at the top in green, just open Vesktop without the arRPC service running to check its activated, if the proir warning appears then that means it is. Then run whatever you need to.
Also separate note when you install vesktop it asks if you want this active, but even if you tick the box it doesnt active it?
Hi, I have a problem with screenshare with vesktop on NixOS in hyprland. Everything worked just fine yesterday. But today I can't select a monitor anymore. Here the logs:

Also, if it helps: Screenshare is still working just fine on OBS and when I use the website with firefox. Also screenshare works with the official discord client. It also doesn't work in the chromium browser.
Does anyone also have this problem? Is there a workaround?
NixOs isnβt supported
chances are itβs a system issue thatβll you have to diagnose yourself
I have reverted to version of my system, where it previously worked. Since it still doesn't work, I believe discord itself must have broke something in the web version for (at least) some users.
Why is my icon not gay anymore ? :c
vesktop wont let me un mute and all my settings are good
heyy,, this fixed the issue. tysm :D
Just double checking, is transparency for Vesktop broken on Hyprland? just recently go into the liking of transparent backgrounds (now that im on a tiling window manager), but it seems that it just doesnt work, saw someone else with a very similar setup (Arch, Hyprland, NVIDIA GPU), and the only response was "dont use hyprland"
i dont need transparency, just wondering if its possible (on hyprland), been searching around and cant find anything
will give it a try and get back to you
...i didnt even have to turn on the theme i installed chat, i just did that and INSTANTLY discord was transparent
will have to learn how to configure so I can actually read, but thanks :D
yes that snippet is not meant to actually be used as it makes everything transparent, but now you know it's working
Rich Presense it not working like when i go into a game like warthunder nothing dose not show that im in a game

is there a class I can use to see if transparency is enabled?
for example in betterdiscord there is a bd-transparency class I can use
nop
why it is thin in steam big picture mode
and when i share my screen it is black with a cursor
i am using flatpak
I'm trying to get RPC working using Flatpak, following https://github.com/flathub/dev.vencord.Vesktop?tab=readme-ov-file#discord-rich-presence
I created the symlink and then added the filesystem args to global Flatpak permissions via Flatseal
My issue, I think, is that Vesktop does not create the discord-ipc-0 file upon startup
[branon@minivoid ~]$ ls $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/.flatpak/dev.vencord.Vesktop/xdg-run/
app bus doc flatpak-info p11-kit pipewire-0 pulse
Thus the symlink is broken and nothing works. Ideas on how to get Vesktop to create the IPC pipe?
Running arRPC server locally + enabling Vesktop's arRPC plugin does not work either :( my other application is Finamp which added rich presence support recently https://github.com/jmshrv/finamp/releases/tag/0.9.19-beta
Let me know if more info is needed but Vesktop keeps giving stream viewers really bad quality when I screenshare with audio.
The first image is an example stream debug without audio, which is mostly fine quality wise.
The second image is an example stream of what people see with audio turned on.
The third is the debug info from the stream with audio
I have hardware acceleration off and I'm using EndeavourOS using vesktop-git from the AUR, however I have noticed this issue with other vesktop packages (flatpak, vesktop-bin and vesktop)
Yeah same happens randomly
on nixos. had some scaling issues with xwayland (vesktop, spotify), so wondering if i can use true wayland for vesktop, or if thats not an option
force launching through ozone via .desktop files seems to have worked

hey guys, does anyone have experience with vesktop screensharing being really laggy on other people's end? I'm on Windows... I know it's mainly for linux so if it's β¨ just like that β¨ then that's fair. I'm just wondering if there's something obvious I can try. I have both hardware acceleration and video hardware acceleration on. also tried without, made it even worse.
appreciate it
windows streaming tends to be subpar sadly
Hello, been having an issue with audio screen sharing. The person watching the stream reports they can hear themselves talking and sometimes do not hear the content I'm sharing at all.
Some details which might hint to something:
- I have only tried streaming brave browser.
- I am using steelseries audio sonar driver, which basically creates virtual cables. Brave browser is set to "media channel" and discord is set to "chat" channel. This doesn't seem like the core issue to me.
just a quirk of screensharing on windows vesktop, not much you can do about it
Is anyone having success with having Vesktop startup launch to a non-primary display?
I have no success, and there is no progress it seems from the app side
It seems that Vesktop keeps forgetting that a second display exists, and is resetting the launch config without my consent
does venmic use pipewire?
yes
ok ty
guys why cant i turn off krisp noise suppresion?
when i try to turn it off it just turns it back on instantly
and it isnt an issue on my discord ptb install
is there any plans for fixing the yellow border around screenshares as the normal discord client don't have this issue even with vencord installed
Windows limitation iirc
anyone know how to bypass the filtering that causes some sites to not load? shows like this but on browser it works fine, or is that against tos?
when i test mic in setting it drops every quarter second of audio
server sided
thx
iβm on windows 10 tho, and still discord does not have this issue, but vesktop does
windows 10 is dead you should switch to windows 11 or linux
it's a windows thing and you can't disable it in windows 10
My friends can hear themselves in my streams, even when I just stream a game
Why is this?
discord don't have this issue so im presuming a fix exists somewhere
is there any sort of workaround?

I've been having some audio issues while streaming the past week and I'm not quite sure what is causing it. Sometimes the audio is just completely gone but returns when I start streaming again
erm i know this is probably related to my gpu but is there a way to make it not do that
discord is fine on my browser
Hey just installed Vesktop and saw that the attenuation setings in voice and video are missing from the regular discord, this makes my volume in general go down as soon as someone in a call speaks making my game and spotify volumes a lot quieter any way to fix it?
where do i download?
honestly just install elogind you're just making your own experience painful by not using it
why do u not want it
if you want a system as minimal as possible you shouldn't use flatpak π
the flatpak needs pipewire too
if it doesn't work on native version it won't work on flatpak either
they all need pipewire
pipewire is the future
Started my PC today and vesktop seems to be stuck on the shiggy loading. I've tried to reinstall it but to no avail, any ideas? 
hey im just wondering if there is anyway to remove the windows bar at the top or at least use the same one the default discord client uses?
nevermind i found it in the vencord settings i just assumed it was gonna be in the vesktop settings
Vesktop is soo buggy when I just want to use normally as the screen can't render the damn thing
I have a problem with screenshare on debian 13 xfce. When I click to screen share, the screen share popup is up, but I canβt input anything to the application. Itβs entirely unresponsive, but the background (chats and others) is still running. I have to kill vesktop to work it again.
When I try to run vesktop on terminal and screenshare, I get this line on the terminal.
[2025-09-08 00:54:19.792] [venmic] [warning] [patchbay] (get) pipewire was not detected as main audio server

*** impl_ext_end_proxy called from wrong context, check thread and locking: Not in loop
so when i try streaming, it lets me choose an audio source but no audio sources show up
i literally just experienced this issue after killing pipewire. i think you probably need to install pipewire?
but idk, im still fairly new to setting up audio stuff myself
I have it installed. I donβt think it was the problem. I had a problem with audio back then so I installed pipewire. But this is a different matter I think.
Purging and installing pipewire again with more dependencies
did that fix it?
Yup the last time I installed was with required dependencies only. Now I just got to test sound with a friend. Thanks.
It happens to me a lot
solved my own issue. what i ended up doing was editing my .xinitrc so now when i run startx, pipewire and pipewire-pulse are started instead of pulseaudio

my vesktop has suddenly started using qwerty despite my system being on azerty. how can I debug this ??
Since the last kernel update (6.16.5-200.nobara.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit)) under Nobara Linux, I can no longer start a stream with Vesktop.
It opens the window selection, but the window for selecting the resolution and FPS no longer appears.
What could be causing this? Is there a quick fix?
I have updated everything and the latest version.
Greetings and thanks. π
I'm also having strange problems loading websites when Vesktop is open. For example, a YouTube video won't load and I get a loading error. Only when I close Vesktop and reload the video can it load normally again.
no correlation
Hi, is there any way to get rid of the Windows bar or not possible?
Like, normal discord bar:
Screenshot your vesktop settings
Nvm it doesn't seem to be an option for this
edit 2: nvm "enable titlebar" randomly worked after 3 restarts
i don't know how to open vesktop without a window. i have tried searching it online but found nothing. any advice?
βWithout a windowβ
yes.
What does that even mean
"without a window" as in "running the program only in the system tray"
Without a taskbar icon? No cant do that afaik (at least on windows)
i think you misunderstood. i would like to run vesktop with only the taskbar icon.
So it doesnβt open and you canβt interact with the application?
it still opens and works without issues at the moment.
i would like it to open with the window hidden and showing the taskbar icon, yet still able to access the app.
So headless? That I donβt know
nevermind i have already figured it out. turns out all i need to do is run vesktop --start-minimized thanks anyways.
Yes, it's normal for developers to always shift the blame or blame users for errors. But it's clearly related to Vesktop.
From a distance, it's easy to dismiss everything as nonsense and leave users to deal with their problems.
But I have a very clean system and know exactly that it can only be Vesktop.
Or rather, since the last updates to Vesktop and/or my Linux kernel. I wish they would take this seriously.
Otherwise, I have to consider Vesktop a buggy virus that got out of control of its developers.
It's a cool tool, unlike the regular Discord client. But it's also a security risk, which becomes even more apparent when something unforeseeable suddenly goes wrong.
I tried deactivating the plugins, but the problem persists.
And my trust and credibility in you is declining more and more.
It's a shame that users are always portrayed as untrustworthy or at fault. π₯Ί
how is vesktop a security risk? the only thing it does is load the discord web client in an electron container. if you really think it's a virus (lol), everything is on github
everything works fine for me on void linux and linux 6.6.101
I also updated kernel on cachyos the other day and am having weird network issues, there has been a new patch on the kernel related to networking stuff that's a followup on the network breakage a while ago idk if they broke stuff again
try the LTS kernel i suppose
I'm currently testing whether it could be related to Pipwire. That's the only other possibility. Several updates for many components have been released in the last few days. Strangely, though, it only happens in connection with Vesktop. I can no longer access any websites in the browser and I get a loading loop.
take your meds
if you update your kernel and then stuff no longer works it's obviously caused by updating your kernel

Done!

There have been several updates in the last few days. Not just the kernel. The kernel is very unlikely to be the cause.
You're probably referring to a user who, like many, doesn't understand their system.
At the moment, everything points to a Pipewire issue. I still need to test it. It really couldn't be Vesktop's fault.
But I didn't want to get my logs to take a closer look?
My vesktop client is now using x11 instead of wayland and I have no idea why. Help pls π
Will vesktop get the discord custom theme manager update?
anyone got a snipped to fix this wide text bar ?
Hello guys, Anybody knows why the quality of stream is always 720, 30fps even if you select 1080 60fps?
Hey, does "MIN_WIDTH": 0 in the settings.json file not work anymore? The Vesktop window does not stay within my monitor boundaries when I move it to take half of my vertical monitor. Full vertical monitor is fine tho.
by the way, my regular Discord client does not have this issue
nevermind! found this setting. Vesktop 
for some reason basically all the rich presence is fucked
for me
Vencord: v1.12.13 β’ 9c0af5a (Vesktop v1.5.8) - 9 Sept 2025
Client: stable ~ Vesktop v1.5.8
Platform: Linux x86_64
also uhh
i have the arrpc thing enabled
check Activity Privacy settings
everythings on
need help w vesktop
this is a vencord issue not vesktop, hop in #π₯-vencord-support-π₯
oh ok
how do you put the typing thing back to the btotom of the textbox
did the cilent just update again is that just me
anyone getting notifications on discord mobile even when vesktop is open?
never use to happen
is there a way for medal to pick up vesktop calls for the record only game audio and discord audio option?
is there any way to increase/decrease the zoom? cant do it the regular way like web (ctrl+scrollwheel) and its not in settings either
ctrl +,-,0 should work
yea it does, tysm
After updating vesktop, fonts look off and the search bar is too big
Any idea what could be causing it?
not a vesktop issue
oh π
did discord just fuck something up
im assuming
alright thanks
not really just vesktop support but idk where to ask this, today when I launched vesktop the bar above chat and below most recent message appeard and I cant remmeber if it was a css snippet but how can I remove it
discord moved the typing indicators back to the top, so that padding is for it to fit
Guys, how do I send plugins to Vesktop?
I have two questions. Is there a way to prevent voice chat audio being captured when streaming? People who are watching the stream can hear themselves. (I suspect not from the Pins, but who knows)
Also for some reason my input is considerably louder through Vesktop while the settings are same on both vesktop and discord. Not really an issue, just weird.
will there an announcement or ping when global keybinds get released(I really want them and it's the only thing preventing me from using venktop)
Quick question about arRPC, decided to set it up today, and then I learned that apparently it comes with Vesktop, and that its just never worked, do i need to do any extra setup besides just enabling Rich Presence in Vesktop Settings? Is it a problem with the AUR package?
yes on ur clipping software
hi everyone i just tried this app yesterday ok just install it normaly now i opened my discord and i can see everythings is gone why ? do i need to reinstall everytime ??
vendesktop is just patched normal discord

soo i got vesktop on flatpak but its not seeing my game open
do i need to do the same stuff for discord flatpak but for vesktop? or?
dont use flatpak
why
can anyone help me that can actually tell me a way to do anything at all?
discords flatpak way does not work if i just do it but for the vesktop package
only games that explicitly support rich presence will work with the flatpak
(so, not many)
splendid work and many thanks my good sir
What is vesktop?
does anyone know why game activity settings is gone from discord?
usually it's right next to activity privacy or inside the settings but it's not there or here
vesktop is essentially the discord web client, so you dont get proper game detection like the regular desktop client
what the fuck
oh
Hi, odd issue, possibly bug. Starting vesktop sets the default application for HTML files to vesktop. Which means any time I open them (xdg-open or double click in nautilus), it just opens vesktop and ignores the file. Starting means from a fully quit vesktop, not exited to tray.
repro
- tested with installation from appimage and with nix's home-manager
- vesktop should be closed
- set default application of HTML to, like, vim or smth
- open vesktop
expected
- vesktop doesn't affect default application for
.htmlfiles

how can i have proper game detection
by using the official desktop client and patching it with vencord
good to know
But it also found a way to unlock the themes discord provides with nitro
you issue
if you're using mimeo, that's why
pls someone tell me how to fix this
By granting Discord access to your microphone
how
anyway i can use my own plugin
locally
or do i have to make a request when it opens if it does
how do I tell, and if so, how do I tell it to bugger off? I know my open uses xdg-utils's xdg-open. google is pretty info-sparse about this issue :/
Hey, I found the error.
Maybe you're interested.
In my Linux setup, "GPU Acceleration" wasn't allowed.
(For Flatpak programs, you can use the Flatseal program or, better yet, Flatpost to view permissions graphically.)
After starting Vesktop via the console with :~$ flatpak run dev.vencord.Vesktop, I was getting the following errors:
` - Could not create a backing OpenGL context
- EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED / Initialization of all EGL display types failed
- Automatic fallback to software WebGL has been deprecated`
That's when I realized it had something to do with WebGL/OpenGL.
After some searching, I figured flatpak run --disable-gpu dev.vencord.Vesktop wasn't a real solution either, so I looked at the Vesktop permissions in Flatpak.
And tada, there it was, and I saw it with my own eyes.
GPU Acceleration was disabled.
So I enabled GPU Acceleration.
And screen sharing via Pipewire under Wayland with KDE Plasma worked perfectly again.
By the way, these two processes are responsible for screen sharing in Pipewire. Just a side note.
output_1: kwin_wayland [kwin-screencast-DP-2] input_1: vesktop.bin [webrtc-consume-stream]
But that only slowly got me on the trail of the problem. π
Hope I could help.
Anybody knows why the stream quality is so low and not getting 60fps on windows env? Sometimes shows as error, code: 1001 or 1002.
Is there a way (a plugin?) to show all streams when "show non-video participants" is off?
Basically get this behavior that they reverted https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/s0yun0/they_changed_how_the_show_non_video_participants/
How do I disable hardware acceleration? the option is missing from the advanced tab in settings :<
cant
In vesktop settings
Yes I went to the settings in the vesktop app and it's not in the advanced section, where would it be installed
Voice & Video > Advanced > Video Hardware Acceleration
Thank you
That's only one of the two things though
There's also app wide hardware acceleration
iirc there's a way to disable that too
Advanced > Hardware Acceleration
That's the whole problem
The option is just
Missing
There's exactly three options and it's not one of them
do you have the Experiments plugin enabled? it enables extra settings options, this might be one of them
Hmm I don't think so
Will do that
try doing that
Thanks
Vesktop Settings
What are those
How are they different from regular settings
is vesktop more worth it than vencord

Well
i have a question
How does that work
And how can i add 3rd party apps
Im on the official vesktop aur package for arch linux
how do i change v6 to v7
idunno
What is your os
os?
yes
don't try to help if you aren't sure
yeah thats a important advice
- stop cross posting to multiple channels
- read rule 10
@dapper stag maybe can you explain me ab this, and how can i put a custom 3rd party app
i never pinged anyone??
I found a bug
wierd bug
vesktop doesnt allow me to stream everything above 720@30
i have nitro
even with fake nitro plugin it doesnt allow
bruh
the menu that lets u set resolution is non fuctional
whatever value i put it defaults to 720@30
Most questions have already been answered. Before asking, read #1257025907625951423 and use Discord's search function to look up keywords related to your question.
Does anyone know a good transparency theme for Vesktop on linux? I have been on an endless search for one and have yet to find one that works.
make one yourself, it's not too hard
Sick, where do I start? Are there any resources for what classes I need to use to change various UI elements? I've always wanted to write my own theme but I have no clue where the documentation for it is.

Hi
how can i add a custom application as activity status as i can do on stock discord
that arRPC
you canβt
I saw a couple of posts and searched in the #1257025907625951423 as well, but I have an issue I reproduced on a virtual machine and on my main system very easily. I only get 720p 30fps when streaming with Vesktop. I have nitro, so I know that isn't the issue at all. I can stream on that vm and on my main machine just fine using base discord and get 1080p 60fps. Is there any ideas on what the issue could be? I reproduced this on the flatpak version of Vesktop and built it from source as well. Any help would be appreciated...

At least it's not your fault. It's the vesktop build fault. I also asked above about streaming quality and some error codes thru streaming but nobody was willing to answer.

I have searched here and came across this message. I just want confirmation if it is still the same case.
I just want confirmation if it is still the same case. Message from Slimecat says it is a visual bug. Is that true?
yes.
iv noticed it sometimes uses my mic even when im not actively in any voice chat?
should i be concerned
Does anyone on windows running vesktop have a slight small blue outline around the app?
It never goes away focused or unfocused
solutions? bash script every five minutes resetting the mime type? uninstall vesktop? idk
if discord.com wants to use your mic it will be allowed to
maybe if you just left a vc or opened voice settings
For some reason text doesn't get highlighted when i have my theme enabled. Can anyone tell me why? Nothing has changed about the theme and this used to not be a problem, but I'll send the css of the theme if necessary
oh
idk why but discord only allows me to stream if i turn "stream with audio" option off, is there a fix for this already? (i have the latest vesktop version and tried with all plugins disabled including no quickcss)
hello guys, i have recently been having this issue where games aren't being identified correctly (The finals to be specific), Normally idc about this stuff but there's a skin i can get lol so is there any fix for it
uhh hi
are there some startup flags i can use so i maybe make discord run a little smoother
im on arch linux, with hyprland and i have the nvidia-open drivers
Well its a visual bug lol
I stream for example, at 1080p@60, on my client it says 720p@30 but on others it says the correct resolution and framerate
not really
using xdg-desktop-portal-wlr-git and bemenu as chooser, when i start a screenshare it freezes discord for a random amount of time usually around ~5 to ~20 seconds
Try using proprietary drivers
is there any way to keep vencord always installed?
Read the channel name
This is for vesktop support
server icons and others' screenshares still move and i can still hear the voicechat but they cant hear me while its frozen
anyone know anything about this?
does anyone know the reason why my mic has huge delay whenever i use vesktop? people would hear my voice 2-3 seconds after i said something iykwim.
this does not happen whenever i use Discord client or web
Vesktop keeps freezing in Crostini (Flathub download)
the only supported installation on chromeos is the extension
why are u potential ragebait π
joke role
hah
are there any plugins or a way to remove this thing from servers?
guys i got error code to open my discord because of appdata vencord ok ? so i just did reinstall and repair and when i open my discord lost everything no themes no my old options from vencord
why this happened guys π
[fixed after running with verbose flag for some reason] so vesktop just doesn't load anything sometimes, the home page loads, I can go into servers, but can't send any messages, load images, and when I click on something like settings, it just softlocks with a gray screen
is there some way to use streamkit with vesktop?
Hello Vencore community, my issue is that I counldt click on that screensharing button.
When I'm clicking on, nothing happen.
I tried to resize the window, disable all plugins.
Really weird cuz It worked at my first install this morning.
i'm on Arch with Sway
Thanks for helping <3
it seems to not work with https://streamkit.discord.com at all, the devtools shows constant attempts to connect to the websocket
what would i have to add to a flatpak app to make it so arRPC can work with it
i want to make it so people can see when im on one of my friend's minecraft modpacks which only works on the flatpak version of prism launcher for some reason
no it doesnβt
fair enough, just not implemented I assume?
not implemented no
well dam that's a strict automod..
But yeah understandable
real and genuine question - has anyone ever had the builtin arrpc work for them? I've installed vesktop on 2 machines, 3 separate installations, both windows and ubuntu, and never had it show any sign of working out of the box. and recently, even running it externally no longer works (it used to, and randomly stopped after a reboot), devtools just says WebSocket connection to 'ws://127.0.0.1:1337/' failed: with no error message/reason after the colon.
is there a way to stop specific games from detecting with arrpc like how you can do it on normal client?
vp ignore
How come using the desktop version of discord/vesktop is much laggier for me than running discord on my browser?

Do we have PPAs or COPRs for fedora and debian and ubuntu
automatic updates
they do
will this work on fedora:
sudo dnf install -y https://vencord.dev/download/vesktop/amd64/rpm
im running arch, not fedora
I can try it tomorrow, but it probably should work, assuming dnf supports multiple redirects
it updates itself by just checking a small data file on github release for the latest version and downloading and installing the new rpm if there is an update
https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop/releases/latest/download/latest-linux.yml
I thought about setting up package repos but I don't think it'd really be any better than the current solution and has the potential for it to go down etc
all of my audio stream sources have vanished without a trace. can't figure it out. anyone got some advice?
Asking here because its only happening with vesktop, I assume its an easy fix
Whenever I download something, I get to choose a location and save, thats normal, and previously, if there was a file that already existed with the same name, I would get a warning. Problem is, this warning is no longer being shown to me, it does with other apps (eg. downloading image from firefox), but vesktop just silently overwrites the file
(Vesktop package is AUR, I'm on Arch using Hyprland)
Hey everyone! I've noticed that when I send the same emoji multiple times next to each other in the same message, it only appears once, and the emoji name shows up multiple times at the top. Any ideas on how to fix that?
um let me ask if we have any plugin like this Animated-Status i found it on better discord but i dont know if VC has it
no because that's API spam
so we don't have it π
how do i donate to get the checkmark guys?
why vesktop does not send notifaction just show the number on app icon
- does your system have a way to send notifications (a notification daemon)
- is this enabled

what was the name of that 1 plugin that allowed you to open dms with anybody?
Hello
doesn't exist
impossible to implement
- get their user id
- send it in chat as
<@ID> - enable ValidUser plugin
- hover over the mention to load the user
- now you can click it to open their profile and send a dm
yo bra much love for the help
I no longer need it tho
also I cant get their user id
I just knew their username
you can try sending a friend request
Hi!
I've noticed that each time Vesktop (Linux [Mint 22.2 Cinnamon], deb package; not Flatpack) is started, it adds entries to ~/.config/mimeapps.list to associate itself with Discord links.
This includes
x-scheme-handler/discord=vesktop.desktop
Which seems appropriate and desired, but for some reason it also adds
text/html=vesktop.desktop
Which is very much breaking things -- it seems to override other HTML link handling on my system and redirects everything of the sort (such as the F1 help button in Libreoffice) to simply open Vesktop instead.
Is there some way I could stop it from doing this?

Hi, I'm a new Linux user (on CachyOS) And recently got vesktop when I'm streaming a music playlist from any source or videos, the start of the music or of the video starts to get really loud for about 5 seconds for the people who are listening to my stream. It then goes to normal audio. I tried finding something about it in the known issues, but I couldn't find anything. I did find things that sounded like the same issue from 2024 but supposedly that was fixed. Does anyone know the reason why? I had another friend who's also on cachyos ed out and the same thing is happening on his computer, so I know it's not just my computer. We tried disabling the auto gain to see if that was affecting things, and that didn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
weird bug i found, vesktop doesn't work in windows RE
i know it's hard to read but that says "Failed to load discord"
"ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED"

pc died :3

well rather my windows install did, and im waiting till my replacement disk comes in so i could actually start moving stuff over properly
it would be nice if i could use vesktop in this predicament :3

but seriously it'd ve very funny if i used windows in recovery environment for a bit
i cant take a screenshot exactly but im actually currently using vesktop in winRE, thank you ven for this awesome piece of software that just works anywhere
for anyone else trying to run vesktop in windows re
run wpeinit first
that sets up all the stuff nessesary for an internet connection
I was going to open a Github issue about the MIME-association problem, which seems like a more appropriate place for this, but the instructions specifically said to only contact you here and wait for explicit orders to open a ticket.
On a quick glance, I couldn't find any part of the program that is manipulating the settings files directly, so I assume this is happening through src/main/index.tx, which calls
app.setAsDefaultProtocolClient("discord");
On line 34, which appears to be a function built into electron, so the problem may unfortunately exist outside this project.
its also against discord tos (and bannable) but lets be upset that its not in vencord :3
Until this is sorted out, I suppose I can leave my mimeapps.list read-only, but this is obviously not a permanent solution.
