well thanks for the fix, my last question would be then, is this a bug ? or a bad implementation or just a limitation of vesktop ?
should i do a bug report or something ?
if it ships like that in flatpak it's a bug because it should run the other entry point script that is specifically for flatpak and not that one
as in, in it is not aware if it's a flatpak or not ? so like it will create the same autorun wheter it is a flatpak or not ?
well i guess i can just create a bug report and vendicated will close it if it's useless i guess
that is quite a nice commit number ngl
uhh screensharing randomly broke, im confused it worked until 2 hours ago, now it doesnt
u dont have to make one
did you update vesktop or made any other changes to the system, like anything at all
Hi, so despite using vencord, my discord says that my platform is web, thus not allowing me to complete some missiosns and stuff, how can i fix that?
took a look in the configs, haven't seen anything related to that
Vencord hooks into the official client, Vesktop does not
It simply wraps the web app in Electron
tbf that is what the official client is too basically but vesktop is an unofficial one so discord doesn't recognize it as a dekstop client
oh sorry, i meant vesktop, not vencord
Never did, my main monitor is HDr and my secondary is not. The colors on my HDR monitor are fine but the non HDR monitor shows the colors Hyper Saturated
vesktop is shown as web
nothing we can do about the quests
sadly...
yeah, that's just how vesktop is, any other custom discord clients will do the same thing, only the official discord client will work for that
Yea because discord has an allowlist for what their servers recognize as official clients, anything else like the Electron wrapper for the web app that Vesktop is will get flagged as browser by the discord servers
Even if it works essentially the same way as the official desktop app that is also just an Electron wrapper around the web app
just try again
Hey I keep getting this error when trying to update vesktop on Fedora
vesktop An error occurred while downloading the update: Command /usr/bin/pkexec --disable-internal-agent exited with code 127
(tried several times)
try again and if still doesnt work show a video
I've tried like 10 times, and a video ain't going to help cause it starts to update and then just gives that error
Thanks for the useless support I'm just reinstalling completely...
you’re not paying for anything so stop acting entitled, if it’s “useless support” as you call it feel free to not ask for it yk
they left LOL
Done! 
banned @ashen bear
doesn't provide any relevant information
doesn't do his own research
refuses to send a screen recording
lol this support is uselesss!!!!11!
thank you!
im having the same issue as well, i can not stream anything except the vesktop instance itself
i updated my client to 1.6.4 but the issue persisted on 1.6.3
nah i was in a vc screensharing worked fine, left vc took a nap and came back and now it doesnt work anymore, i tried restarting my laptop (im on arch btw)
literally nothing changed
take a close look at the sticky message in #🏥-vencord-support-🏥
custom css is also theming
i forwarded here just incase
well no, this not the right place
you need to ask whoever made that css file to fix it
personally I'd just move on instead of trying to hold onto the old ui forever, at some point it will just not work anymore anyways
BRO FAILED T OPATCH COMING TELL ME HOW T O FIXX
i can not screenshare anything on vesktop, except for the vesktop window itself
how do i make my vesktop title bar same as on windows...? (with buttons minimize, maximize, close AND discord buttons in same bar)
My vesktop updated itself like a few days ago and it dissapeared, now i cant find any way to return it
you ever solve the problem?
I used kde window rules to set the window position
if you dont mind me asking, how do you do that? what is your rules
stop using caps and go to #🏥-vencord-support-🏥
they have been there already, crossposting to here and in all caps over there too at the start lol
like just take a look at their message history here
so at the moment any time i try to select a window to stream in vesktop it just instantly crashes discord, discord tries to recover and then i cant interact with the share screen button anymore afterwards and have to restart. this consistently happens and it was working fine no more than like 5 hours ago so im lowk confused on what happened
also im using vencord on vesktop so
not exactly sure what support channel to go to here
what os
vs dbg
Please share your Vencord debug info by running the /vencord-debug slash command!
arch
?
focus on the bot's message maybe

Vencord: v1.14.1 • 8ecae35 (Vesktop v1.5.8) - 25 Jan 2026
Client: stable ~ Vesktop v1.5.8
Platform: Linux x86_64
⚠️ Activity Sharing disabled
update your vesktop
i hate to ask since this is actually just common sense but where do i update it
same place you downloaded it from
vesktop is great so far, but only issue i have is its not showing the games im playing as my activity repost
you need the desktop app for that
oh does vesktop not support game activity?
not in the same way the first party app does
is there a way to get it working like regular discord?
no
vesktop uses discord web and no one's found a way to implement discord's rpc server into it
ahhhh ok
I guess you could do a helper script or something that just detects and streams rpc for discord
like i use vencord and the open source yt music client i use shows up in activity just fine 
hello I searched the posts and didnt find one specifically to this
does anyone have this issue were vesktop colors are like washed out
I've been trying to find any posts with someone with the same issue, Discord native is on top and vesktop bellow. running on bazzite I have no idea what it could be
Are you using HDR?
no, i also took that screenshot on the same monitor
hdr will not change how a screenshot looks
it did on windows, they were like super bright I remember haha
On linux the colors can be washed out if the app doesn't know how to deal with the HDR color space
I would know, I use HDR on linux
@halcyon lava Which DE do you use on Bazzite? KDE?
Ah ok
Do you use any arguments when launching vencord?
And do you use GPU acceleration?

no and and I do have hardware accel on
You could maybe try to see if the discoloration is fixed by disabling that
Other than that I wouldn't know what else to do off of the top of my head
has anyone figured out why screensharing wont work? I see some people are having similar issues

are you on windows or linux? if on linux, using flatpak?
? bad advice
what are u talking about
what
am i being dumb
okay i forgot that by activity tab it doesntr strictly mean like
past activities
i completely misunderstood that
yes it will
yea I did notice that later
only if the software has no idea what to do with it i guess
wait did gnome finally fix it
idk I use KDE
my hdr screenshots used to be super dark but not anymore
WHY No work browser
anyone please?
update vesktop
There's no update available and I'm having the same issue
on AUR
Vencord: v1.14.1 • 8ecae35 (Vesktop v1.6.3) - 25 Jan 2026
Client: stable ~ Vesktop v1.6.3
Platform: Linux x86_64
⚠️ Activity Sharing disabled
doub't it
1.6.4 is latest
Vencord: v1.14.1 • 8ecae35 (Vesktop v1.6.4) - 25 Jan 2026
Client: stable ~ Vesktop v1.6.4
Platform: Linux x86_64
i updated it from yay now, and in settings under "check update" says up to date
that is vencord updates.
Ah found the issue on my end, vesktop on AUR is newest while vesktop-bin which is what i'm using is behind x)
I have the issue still. Its extremely blown up and bloom-y. People already told me its HDR but i dont even use HDR and only Vesktop is like this
it went away after restarting the app yesterday but now its back
does it happen only on vesktop 1.6.4? and not 1.6.3?
@royal cedar @halcyon lava
i am in 1.6.4
yes. try on 1.6.3
they look the same in 1.6.3
that's also on HDR I turned it on to see if it was a difference
well doesnt look washed out to me in that screenshot
i meant as both discord and vesktop look the same, not washed
on 1.6.3 it's normal, on 1.6.4 it washed out?
yea
For whatever reason, in the gif picker in Vesktop, most of the gifs are glitched/green. They show up fine once they've been sent though. Works fine in the regular Discord client. I've tried enabling/disabling hardware accel, i've tried reinstalling Vesktop with a fresh config, I've tried disabling gif related plugins, nothing.
hm can't reproduce that personally at least
what OS you using
Nobara, Fedora based. It worked fine for the longest time, can't remember doing anything that could've messed it up.
Hm interesting, since y reinstalled it, it should run on latest version / 1.6.4 which I also use
tbf I am on Kubuntu 25.10 but ye
Just installed Vesktop on Cachyos via sudo pacman -S vesktop and upon opening it I get this message:
Launching from the terminal, it spits out these errors. I had a sneaking suspicion it was a Wayland thing. Dunno how to fix it tho.
pacman doesn't have vesktop, at least not any official version of it
Offical one is only on AUR for Arch iirc
disable
yay paru and pacman all pull from the CachyOS repo for vesktop
I already tried that, still nothing
version 1.6.3-1
FWIW I clicked OK enough times, it went away and when I boot it, it doesn't happen again so idfk
Just Javascript things ig
And? not like there is an official release on the CachyOS repo either, probably a repack I guess
My point is that the 3 methods of installing on CachyOS only pull from their repo
^ High key that bot is annoying lmao
well either way, officially maintained repos and packages are here https://vesktop.dev/install/linux/
it's fine to install from cachy repo
run from terminal to get real error
oh ic, alr 
Okay I've removed every trace of vesktop on my system, reinstalled it, why is it still logging me in when I do that?
windows 10, and idk what flatpak is
Is the Chrome version out of date?
Idk I can't replicate it idc anymore lmao
ah it's a little broken on windows right now
Is the Chrome version out of date?
(Auto-response invoked by @grim lake)
I tried installing the closed Nvidia drivers. Install failed but the problem's gone so idk 
managed to fix the saturated colors by disabling Extended Dynamic Range on the laptop screen and restarting Vesktop, not sure when that setting was added to KDE but it was enabled by default
What plugin can be responsible for the dissapearing of the extra menu when you hover over chats? i mean the thing with 3 dots, reply, forward and reactions
is there a fix for the screensharing window not popping up?
hey whenever I screenshare (arch linux, hyprland) it crashes
please run vesktop from terminal and provide logs
it doesn't output anything, it just soft crashes and then does a hot-reload (this is after crashing)
you're out of date 
i just updated today
in fact, it just updated the client and then started doing this
i don't know why it's not 1.6.4 but the client tells me i am up to date
lol
hey all is anyone working on the voice message plugin on vesktop?
its been months since i first reported it and the voice message plugin is still completely broken on vesktop. works fine on normal vencord but voice messages sent on vesktop either dont load or load audio from a previous voice message on other peoples clients. theres also like 1 + second delay after clicking the button before it actually starts recording, not present on normal vencord
idk if anyone else even uses the desktop voice message plugin but its like my favorite vencord plugin ever and this bug is the only reason i cant use vesktop, which sucks because its so much better on macos in every other way
- go to #🏥-vencord-support-🏥
- it should be fixed, make sure you're up to date
- this is a vesktop issue it works fine on vencord
- i just tested it 1 minute ago on the newest vesktop version and its still broken
it magically works for me
might be a mac issue
hold on lemme try like... a clean reinstall of the vesktop app
maybe
is vesktop.dev real did i just install malware
i'm gonna reinstall
oh my god im a tomato
yes its official site
can u try downgrading to electron 39?
i just installed 1.6.3 manually and its fine now
ok this is really weird
idk if its fixed in 1.6.4 but every time i relaunch vesktop i get the update is available popup
i click install update & restart but when it finishes instead of restarting it hides the window
when i quit and reopen it i get the popup again so the update failed
maybe the updater is bugged on mac to hide the window when it finishes instead of quitting the app?
are you using linux/windows/mac?
mac
yeah it may be bugged. Just manually install latest release
doesnt look like the changelog has anything about voice messages tho
because its unrelated...
just make sure you're using latest vesktop & vencord
vesktop seem sto limit streaming in calls to 1080p30?
i just manually installed 1.6.4 since the updater is broken on macos too
is this a known issue
and tested it again and voice messages still dont work
no? If you're using FakeNitro its fine if it says a lower quality than u selected
uhh maybe a mac issue
I can't help you with that
ims electing 1080p60
yet it is deafulting to 1080p30
once the window closes manually quit the app
wait a few seconds then reopen
there is no "WebRichPresence" in plugins
arrpc is running (npc arrpc)
if you're using Vesktop you don't need this plugin
just enable this setting
i just updated and it fixed itself it seems?
my eyes weren't so happy with that
could you send a video?
can anyone check if vesktop is limting streams to 1080p30 in vcs
How do I update it in an imutible system? I'm on bazzite and can't figure out how to update vesktop as when I try to manually update using the terminal I get this error error: Could not depsolve transaction; 1 problem detected:
Problem: cannot install both vesktop-1.6.4-1.x86_64 from @commandline and vesktop-1.6.3-1.x86_64 from @commandline
- conflicting requests
uh ok
how do i download this shit
enabling the setting doesnt fully work
for me steam games are detected but other gamea are not, whether running thru wine or running natively
arRPC may not detect all games
but are u using Vesktop from flatpak?
no im using vesktop from the aur
minecraft (prism launcher) and roblox are not detected if that is normal/helps
its expected behaviour, not all games can be detected
the vesktop rpm self updates, it expects to write to /opt/Vesktop
with that in mind either figure out how to get it working or just use flatpak, which is a better fit on immutable systems
or distrobox
Alr, thx
uhh can you take my word for it lol
spectacle decided to shit itself
also platformindicatrors are only showing
if i have only loaded the user profile
roblox works on linux again?
yes , sober
can anyone confirm this
u cant play while drunk?
i am not usre if ts is uipposed to be sarcasm
tried repair vencord didnt work
Every time I get a ping vesktop hangs for ~2 minutes
i’ve got a notification server installed
it comes with Fedora 43 KDE
and these problems started after the latest vesktop update
hm ill try reinstalling
I'm having the same issue on Windows
I tried updating too
updated vesktop and it fixed, thanks to everyone who helped <3
i said mentioned windows to explain my issue more clear, i meant default "windows style" top bar
You disabled Notifications in system tray
enable it or disable notifications in vesktop
okay it appears i did and im just an idiot
thanks
my plasma theme mods them and apparently it broke with an update
streaming is broken and is cpaped at 1080p@30
Alr hold on
and...?
i'm on windows right now playing some vr games ill get back to you eventually

Vesktop ✌️
can i do anything if updating didn't fix the streaming crash for me?
for some reason my discord is VERY crunchy but only when it's on my second monitor. Half on/half off i can like switch back and forth between normal and not
disabling hardware acceleration does the trick for now
I'm not sure if it's because I'm using both a VPN and a different useragent but I keep getting the verification required screen when I try to join a server
i got it like 4 times in 15 minutes
joining servers especially with a vpn and custom useragent is very prone to getting CAPTCHAd
if that’s what you mean
i get why it gets flagged but how do i even join servers
because yknow you can't use vpn on linux and use discord at the same time
so i have to use a useragent
okay joining on browser works, but it's still annoying
i really hope discord stops blocking linux users with vpn
Its probably permament since its been here for months by now
It probably will be not removed for a long time
its not opening
did anyone ever experience something like this? my personal gifs seem to load just fine lol
pretty sure this is solved by turning off hardware acceleration
ur right :D thankss
What OS
Fedora
What version are you using? For me and a few others on vesktop 1.6.4 trying to stream resulted in infinitly loading streams and sometimes a crash when closing streams.
Try falling back to vesktop 1.6.3 and see if that fixes the issue.
can somebody please put this in #1257025907625951423, I've seen a few people ask for help about it in this channel now.
yes
it works with sober now
u cant play while drunk?
yea new roblox tos :c
Vencord: v1.14.1 • 8ecae35 (Vesktop v1.5.8) - 25 Jan 2026
Client: stable ~ Vesktop v1.5.8
Platform: Linux x86_64
Hello there. I have a question about Vesktop on the new Linux Mint version (22.3/Cinnamon 6.6.6). The latest version of Mint Cinnamon added support for taskbar notification badges, but I can't seem to get Vesktop to display any. I've made sure that I've enabled the default Discord setting "Enable Unread Message Badge" as well as the Vesktop-specific setting for notification badges. I've restarted/repaired but still, no dice. Also, here's my client information:
stable 488579 (28327b1) Build Override: N/A
Vencord 8ecae35 (Vesktop v1.6.4)
Electron 40.0.0
Chromium 144.0.7559.60
Does anyone know what could be causing this?
install libunity (not the game engine)
Yeah unfortunately, still getting nothing. I just gotta make sure- I installed the one highlighted in the screenshot. Is that the right one?

my titlebar is missing and i am unsure how to get it back.
it looks like it should be on
sometimes vesktop un-fullscreens itself? cause seems to be random
are screenshare limit to 1080p30 on vesktop? adjusting to other setting does not work somehow and my friend say using vesktop screenshare is very laggy for them to view
weird, this happened to me too, (not on vesktop but on vencord) it reappeared after discord loaded properly tho
hi all- the "Use Discord Titlebar" option in Vesktop Settings used to work, but now its removed the window options- like in the screenshot. Wayland, Gnome, Arch Linux
oh yo same!
visual bug, stream quality will still be at whatever resolution you chose
the stream being laggy is more of a you issue
what os are you on
Win 10 ltsc
on vencord or discord itself, it;s fine thou just screensharing on vesktop is lagging for them hmm
vesktop streaming on windows doesnt work as well as the discord app
cant get vesktop stream to work

read my message above ^
is vesttop fixed yet?
it never broke
oh
im on nixos yet im having a vesktop stream problem as well
.
the screen picker pops up
when i click a screen discord crashes
hyprland wayland
forgot to say that
i am no linux expert but
https://vesktop.dev/wiki/linux/troubleshooting/#nothing-happens-when-trying-to-start-a-screenshare
https://wiki.hypr.land/hyprland-wiki/pages/Useful-Utilities/Hyprland-desktop-portal/
these might be related
unfortunately i have a desktop portal installed and my problem is straight up crashing
thanks tho! :3
mine works, funnily enough. hyprland + nvidia + nixos, is your nixos flake/config public?
its not but i can clean it up and make it public
im on amd
normal discord + vencord works, vesktop doesnt
😭
these are annoying to debug but yeah, maybe sharing what i have might help? dunno

did you ever found out what's causing this? ive got the same thing as you. my primary monitor is hdr/secondary not as well
i have the chrome extension but nothing is showing up
I just kind of fixed it like 30 seconds ago
Go to vesktop settings and disable hardware acceleration
ok let me try
^^
I also had to restart vesktop
Yeah it isn't but it works for now
I think it's an electron bug not telling cesktop to use the correct color prifle
When switching between monitors, though I don't know enough to try and fix it
fair, and same
Why
(Auto-response invoked by @hallow onyx)
I'm having the same issue but on some occasions it doesn't immediately crash but doesn't allow me to select audio outputs
hey, i'm on cachyos with vesktop, and i am having an issue where vesktop is running on my discrete (nvidia) gpu rather than my integrated (intel) gpu. i am on a laptop, and don't know if this was always the case or only started happening recently. it's the only app running on the nvidia gpu which prevents it from going into a lower power state.
i am using niri window manager and running on wayland, but this issue is present regardless of if vesktop uses the wayland flag or using the default x11 configuration. niri itself is configured to not touch the nvidia gpu
is there any way to make it use the intel igpu instead of the nvidia dgpu?
disabling hardware acceleration fixes it, so that there are no processes running on nvidia, but is there any better solution?
Hello, the screen share feature doesn t work for me on vesktop
when i select the screen or the window to share, nothing happens
the /vencord-debug commands also doesn t work
i am on windows 11 with the latest vesktop version
vesktop streaming on windows doesnt work as well as the official app
nothing you can do about it
but why is it working for a friend of mine ?
different setups, different results
anyone know if there's a solution to this? 
Is there any chance that we might get banned for using vesktop ?
no
Will I get banned for using Vencord? Will plugin X get me banned?
Client modifications are against Discord's Terms of Service.
However, Discord is pretty indifferent about them and there are no known cases of users getting banned for using client mods! So you should generally be fine as long as you don't use any plugins that implement abusive behaviour. But no worries, all inbuilt plugins are safe to use!
Regardless, if your account is very important to you and it getting disabled would be a disaster for you, you should probably not use any client mods (not exclusive to Vencord), just to be safe
Additionally, make sure not to post screenshots with Vencord in a server where you might get banned for it

I see...
hello everybody, I just went through a few past messages to see if this is a known issue, and it seems to be, where the client gets insanely oversaturated, ie: "crunchy" when moved to a 2nd monitor? I haven't been able to discern if there's any consensus on how to solve this, but I'm experiencing the same issue on my end and unsure if there is a solution?
why does it even have a limit? idgi, it's only like 3k gifs
initially i believed this was some form of system-wide issue with color depth on individual monitors, but after some troubleshooting, the regular proprietary Discord client seems to behave just fine, and so do all other applications (electron, or not), so it seems to be a vesktop specific issue (maybe on Linux/Wayland only?)
its an hdr thing with the version of electron that vesktop uses
-# also wow hi eps previously from ukds
ah, i've got HDR off system wide so that might be why it's misbehaving... any kind of system flag or launch param i can feed it so it stops doing that? or am i stuck waiting for an update
Waow hi eps, turn off hardware acceleration and restart
is there any way to automatically have the game i play show up as my activity? the crpc plugin lets me do it but idk the application id for every game im gonna play.
i love vesktorp
ah okay, that'll probably cause it's own problems when it comes to screen sharing but whatever :P
Yeah true, I'm just using the official client for now because I have the same issue 😭
yeah kind of a bummer considering better streaming with per-app audio on linux is the reason i got vesktop to begin with
worked for One Whole Day
what de are you using? for kde i believe you can toggle hdr individually for each program with kscreen-doctor if thats what youre using
ooh that might help
abysmal timing lol
well actually kscreen-doctor might not work for per-app
@versed elm #🖥-vesktop-support-🖥 message some more info on the matter
if you feel like experimenting you can try versions of vesktop earlier than 1.6.0 (thats when chromium v39 was added iirc) to see if this issue persists, if it doesnt then there isnt really much of a solution unfortunately from what i can see after some quick searches in this channel and online
yeah it's an interesting conundrum considering HDR is off on all of my displays 
but yeah i guess i'll just wait and get by on the proprietary client until it gets solved
just downgrade to v1.6.3
Hello, recently my vesktop has started crashing when I start streaming my screen in a voice call (it recovers from the crash and I can keep using it). How can I debug this and what information would I need to provide to get help with this issue?
what was changed between .3 and .4
i think i should keep up with updates before i speak on them
oh electron v40
screen sharing for me is working in windows only if I disable the stream with audio feature
yes, I click on share and nothing happens
What os
windows 11
Streaming on vesktop from windows isnt a good experience due to limitations, use the discord app
Hey any idea why did AV1 get option get removed from webScreenShareFixes?
i checked the known issues tab but couldnt find anything about changing font color. Is there any way to do that?
caused more issues than not (https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord/commit/28b40534d1aaf8278c196d17f8ef66ced7e7d8c0)
update just fixed it :D
appreciate it
w/ electron40 wecam is not working ArchLinux
electron39 is fine
following some update of vesktop i believe, its color space (or something of that nature) breaks completely when moving the window across monitors
i'm on fedora 43 using kde plasma 6.5.5, and this issue started happening within the past week
only solution seems to be making vesktop open in a specific monitor and under no circumstances moving it anywhere else
in case it's not as visible in the video, you can see that the contrast is completely messed up here.

Vesktop: native package (rpm)
This started happening after the lastest update
disable hardware acceleration
oh, I see
funny nvidia driver or whatever broke it

Vencord 8ecae35 (Vesktop v1.6.4)
Electron 40.0.0
Chromium 144.0.7559.60
how do i get the web version to work again
i removed and reinstalled it but it still doesnt work
this is not an issue but is it me or is vesktop way easier on ram?
i didnt even know vesktop existed, and when i switched its way better
(Auto-response invoked by @grim lake)
it really depends on many factors including the plugins/themes you use, your system, the server count, the size of those servers… but yeah vesktop tends to be less demanding than discord desktop
anybody else here run into this issue on KDE? i have a friend with the same setup who also has this bug, so it should be reproducible
Streaming recently stopped working on vesktop on my CachyOS install. My friends get loading dots until it eventually fails to load the stream, and when I press the "stop streaming" button it freezes the entire application. Wondering if yall might know what's up with that lol
If I get streaming working again then I can test lol but rn the silicon rebels, for it does not wish to think
so i never got this answered. this pops up after i download vesktop from the site. wtf do i do?
if OS dependent, i have linux mint
downgrade to 1.6.3
hello! is it worth installing openasar at all? using the vesktop terminal installer
Debug it by running the application in a terminal. But in my experience some issues with webrtc in the new 1.6.4 version caused streaming to bork for some people
you probably mean vencord (vesktop is a different product)
how do you mean ? im using vesktop currently
you can't use openasar with vesktop
that is the vencord installer
Thats vencord
Vesktop doesnt support it since it isnt needed
ohhh ok
@sharp scarab pardon this noob ass question but how do I do that 😭
Hi hi, I was looking around in #1257025907625951423 and attempted to search around in here too but couldn't find anything surrounding troubleshooting streaming issues.
I run on linux, with vesktop installed via flatpak but cannot get the screenshare working in a good quality as others report low quality as if running at a lower bitrate. So far I have ruled out pipewire/xdg portals through testing with other apps. Within ://gpu it appears to have hardware acceleration enabled but could there be something I am missing?
Try disabling hardware acceleration
ahh, the issue was still present before this was after enabling it
It's in the GitHub repo, link
if I'm not allowed to send links I'm sorry
yippee this works! thanks :D
i want to downgrade to 1.6.3 to attempt solving my issue.
1, this doesn't make anything clear for me
2, would it be the same/similar to this?
what platform
?
Are you on windows, linux or mac
remove vesktop first
.
i've deleted everything i can in my files
no, you need to remove the package
idk where anything leftover would be
sudo apt remove vesktop in terminal
or, actually
I think you can do sudo apt install --allow-downgrades /path/to/vesktop-1.6.3.deb
they are on mint. I said to downgrade to 1.6.3 to fix a screenshare issue that has been popping up for multiple users.
ok that did something
now try installing the package again
thank you. i am still learning basic terminal commands
sorry to bother
you're okay! just trying to help! hope it works <3
worked. should i ignore updating until later or something?
hello again!! can i move the toolbox icon to the bar below it? i have the useless title bar hidden, so id like to move it next to the search bar if possible
I tried downgrading the flatpak and it kept not working so I'm just using the appimage

How do I change keybinds on Vesktop, if there is a way?
is vesktop directly tracking what channels and servers i view?? seeing a pop up saying my vesktop is outdated just because i clicked on the server is literally proof of it tracking what i do isnt it? 💔
Vencord knows what version vencord is on
The supporthelper plugin knows what channel ids are the support channel and shows a pop up if you are outdated
sooo its tracking what channels i view
Not really
It just knows which one is the support channels
It doesn’t read anything else
k ty
You can read the source code for yourself
vencord browser doesnt work rn
this is the vesktop channel
yes but it's offline on your device 
meanwhile discord tracks every click u do anywhere
any help for a low end laptop?
i'm running linux mint xfce, my laptop is a hp pavillion 15 - it's running an igpu off an intel i5 8250u
and vesktop causes it to lag
well, more specifically it lags while using vesktop - it's fine when it's in the background
saw a message saying it's specifically discord related
am i just cooked
does anyone know why vesktop sometimes becomes overly saturated
like really really saturated?
Saw something in earlier conversations about an HDR monitor causing it, I'm experiencing it after my screen goes to sleep on Linux.
my monitor doesnt support hdr
Yeah, me neither.
my laptop screen does in fact though
its just electron40 (new chromium) moment
hm
downgrade to vesktop 1.6.3
ah, since this is a standalone app, how do I downgrade?
download and install old version from github releases
and obviously choose skip update in the updater
ah alright
this was only 8 days ago, considering how infrequent new plugins drop its a pretty tight window unless its just not working/add to this list
Not a vesktop question
theme issue
why is my top bar missing where the minimize button should be?
screenshot vencord settings
i dont have any themes on
i figured it out discord just made the bar smaller so my theme cut it off
Could I get some help I recently switched from KDE to hyprland and the screenshare doesn't work in vesktop but my obs works fine vesktop will just crash when I attempt to screenshare I tried following this and I didn't have any of the issues it said I might
https://gist.github.com/brunoanc/2dea6ddf6974ba4e5d26c3139ffb7580#screen-sharing-on-hyprland--arch-linux-
discord uses 30-40% cpu usage while focused
im on a laptop with an i5-13420H and rtx 4060
could you run it in the terminal and post logs? Also try downgrading to 1.6.3, it's fixed similar screenshare issues for a few people now (including me)
That worked thank you
happy to help, sad I have to
When I screenshare my game, my friends can hear themselves anyway to fix this?
thanks sm
are you on windows?
this happens for me as well on non hdr monitors, when you move from one to another
im trynna make my background transparent
iv enabled the transparent settings and using a transparent theme yet it isnt working
Yeah I'm on windows
Thats the issue
Is there a way on vesktop to control whether certain apps show on rich presence?
vp IgnoreActivities
awesome ty, can i find the activity id's for the apps somewhere?
why would that be the issue? is Vesktop made for Linux and not optimized for windows, or do I need to change something in windows to fix it?
Electron limitation with windows, nothing you can do, use the discord app for streaming
ah kk ty for telling me
But also yes, vesktop is mainly for linux
i have the same issue, does anyone know how to fix this?
My microphone is turning on even though I'm not speaking. Is this just a problem for me?
This worked for me thanks !
There is something wrong with my streams. They are either very poor quality with acceptable fps, or they are normal quality but with 2 fps.
vesktop flatpak wayland
how can i get vesktop to track game activity? it won't detect arknights endfield (running through proton as a non-steam game on steam)
is that the expected behavior lol
dont make me hop on w*ndows
For now probably yes since that game is too new
For some reason the detectable game list is hardcoded and havent been updated for long time
thats crazy... 😭
better than nothing, i guess
hi all, im having a very silly issue where I cant hear others and others cant hear me when im voice chatting on vesktop
ive tried both the flatpak and native arch package and it happens on both. in the vid u can see me using goofcord, where it works, then when im on vesktop it doesnt work
i dont have maximize or close button
update
Vencord: v1.14.1 • 8ecae35 (Standalone) - 25 Jan 2026
Client: stable ~ Discord Desktop v1.0.9222
Platform: Win32
Last Crash Reason: N/A
⚠️ Activity Sharing disabled
Why can't we choose the 4th branch (development) inside Vesktop?
Is it the same as Canary?
Has anyone had this issue where if you move the window to another monitor and back, it screws up the colours?
this is what it looks like on my monitor
it's like deepfried
ok, turning off hardware accel fixes it
also tested official client, nothing seems wrong there
Maybe I'm blind but I could not find any relates recently problems with folders, and I have some
they should look into it
apparently current discord uses an electron that has Chrome 138, but current vesktop uses Chrome 144
not sure if that makes any kind of difference
currently still no way to fix crashing when attempting to stream on linux right?
there is no fourth branch
did the option to automatically enable/disable streamer mode go away ? i don't see it
broken rn
from mickey mouse to bob belcher
Brother I need help with that vc issue not that 😭
fix is going back to 1.6.3
Someone help me, I downloaded Vencord following the tutorials, but when I finish the installation the new Vencord category doesn't appear in my Discord. What can I do?
Hey, I am running into the same issue when trying to stream my screen (I am using hyprland); however, you said to downgrade to 1.6.3, but pacman only shows Vesktop 1.6.1 as the latest. Is there another way to get the latest?
In the development branch there are some other experiments visible which I utilize in my daily workflow
And I can't access them in Vesktop PTB/Canary
I don't use package managers, check the GitHub repo. Don't know why you're getting this issue though, from what Ive seen it stems from a change in the newer version of electron that 1.6.4 uses
I see, thank you for the help! I will take a look at the repo and see what I can swap to
pacman means arch which means grabbing vesktop from the AUR
aka either using an AUR helper or manually building it
AUR already has 1.6.4 on all uploaded packages so either just need to manually install or update thru yay/paru/helper of choice
ty Kim, were you ever able to reproduce that streaming issue I'm talking about?
-# I'd say try the latest tag for the version if it's applicable in wtv builder you're using if u need the latest version
no but ive also been running 1.6.3 the whole time which could be why i havent faced any
I see that now, I totally forgot I installed vesktop through the AUR and not the extra database
I was just running pacman and seeing the package show up there XD
yeah vesktop isn’t in extra at all
please try, I want to see more people post logs because I've been monitoring this channel for a while and downgrading seems to help a lot of people
still unable to reprod, runs the same as before for me with video hw accel disabled
Vencord: v1.14.1 • 8ecae35 (Vesktop v1.6.4) - 25 Jan 2026
Client: stable ~ Vesktop v1.6.4
Platform: Linux x86_64
only getting the infinite loading screen issue still w video hw accel enabled
could you run it in the terminal? because it should look like it works but others won't be able to see. There should be a "no video codes in common" error
that is not a real branch.
discord development just uses canary or ptb (idk which)
just checked in a call with a friend and it works as described for me; my screenshare loads with video hw accel disabled, doesnt with it enabled
guh
so im unsure why it doesnt work at all for some users
or rather i didnt crash at all when trying either
I looked at the code last night and pardon my stupid because I don't code but I think in the previous version when it couldn't find a video codec it would have a default, but now it doesn't and says no codecs are available or something?
I could be very wrong though. in fact I very likely am
afaik the only change that was made was to the WebScreenShareFixes plugin where before it would try to force-enable the AV1 codec when applicable but it caused more issues than not - now it just reverts to the default discord behaviour (admittedly i havent looked much deeper, its just one of the screensharing changes im aware of thats been pretty recent)
not actually involved on the coding side myself so im as blind as u tbh but theres also been the change to electron v40 that has caused some hdr issues w some so maybe thats the cause? wuld also explain why downgrading to 1.6.3 fixes it
doesn't AV1 require a 4000+ GPU to use? I'll check that out and see if re-adding that webScreenShare code fixes the issues when I get home from work however, that might be it.
av1 has been added to a few new gen gpus, some amd and high-end intel is capable and thats just what im aware of on gpu side of things
theres also the question of decode/encode where they can do one but not the other so
but with how the plugin worked there was still supposed to be a fallback if av1 wasnt an option but it didnt seem to load correctly
no
(ill need vee to confirm if any of the shit im saying is even true tbh)
and that is not why, dont waste your time
and there we go
it's because of electron40 (really chromium at fault) or your system
i love being right !!!!! (my bad ill stop)
okay then shouldn't vesktop stay at chromium 39 until these errors get resolved?

people will always have issues, no matter the version
just chromium on linux things
these issues affect a tiny part of the userbase
I've seen at least five reports about streaming errors in this channel alone, and likely more that haven't said anything. At the very least could we get a message in #1257025907625951423 about it?
atp I've been telling pretty much every other user who messages In here to downpatch which suddenly miraculously solves their streaming issues.

I have an issue on Fedora. If I use the rpm or appimage version of vesktop screensharing will freeze for other people after 20~ seconds. It works fine in the flatpak version but then Rich presence doesn't work. anyone knows what could cause this? happens when launching vesktop on both x11 and wayland
@pastel canopy downpatch to 1.6.3 vesktop and tell me if it solves your issue
I just installed the 1.6.3 rpm version and no change. I've been having this issue for quite a while and remembered updating vesktop to try and fix it. I can try 1.6.2 too just to be sure
Also screenshare freezes but audio still goes through
can you run it through the terminal and tell me the error logs?
oh. did you not turn off video hardware acceleration?
if hardware accel is turned off then I have no idea what the problem is sorry. Afaik hardware accel and electron 40 are the two main reasons streaming can bork
Video accel was turned on. With a nice warning under it saying it can cause infinite loading streams 🤦♂️
Well it works now xd thank you
I don't even remember turning that on
well if it breaks again on 1.6.4 lmk because it seems like a common issue now
I just updated to 1.6.4 and it works perfectly
Thank you for helping me
right click the vesktop tray icon and select repair vencord
if you hit ctrl+, the settings screen should show up
My themes broke and now I can't open settings or disable them
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

Good afternoon, I just downloaded vdesktop on my Batocera machine and it will not let share/stream my screen. When I click "share my screen" it doesn't do anything (no pop up or loading symbol, just nothing). Has anyone seen this issue before? I saw we should disable hardware exceleration, but I can not find where that setting is.
How do you disable that?
is it in the popup window before you press stream, because that wont even pop up for me
are you on Batocera?
Okay thanks!
make sure you have portals installed
How do I do that? Sorry I am new to this
what desktop environment
I am on Batocera.linux
...if that's waht you're asking haha, sorry I am not exactly sure what that is, youll have to explain everything like im 5
send a screenshot of what the desktop looks like in desktop mode
strange distro
I can't find anything about portals for it
its for running emulation station and that's it, so it's not a full version of Linux I dont think
I honestly thought vDesktop was just for this, I didnt realize it was for other Linux verisons as well
yeah I'd suggest using a conventional distro and just installing emulators on that
Okay, if I need to I will try that
really quick, can you tell me where to disable hardware exceleration in the settings for this app? Everyone online says that helps with streaming issues
it won't help with your issue but it's in vesktop settings
is that seperate from the settings in discord itself? because I dont see it in discord
vs dbg

Okay I just did that and it fixed my issue! thank you for the help @austere panther! I have been struggling with this for three days haha, it never occured to me to try the support discord
best to update vesktop too while you're at it 
This Batocera thing is kind of weird when it comes to support for apps, most of the time it requires a very specific old version of apps. I downloaded this a few days ago through the built in Batocera downloader, so I am wondering if there is some reason they gave me this version...but I have no idea, this whole thing is pretty new to me
but I may try updating it tomorrow, I think I can always uninstall it and reinstall the old version if needed. Do I just download the newest version from the Vencord website?
Thank you, I will save this link and try it tomorrow! I appreciate all your help
download the appimage because I doubt flatpak works on this distro

nvm I was able to disable it through settings.json
Somewhy the stream audio selector has visually changed slightly and now (edited) the audio selector is visually bugged; checkmarks appear on EVERY audio source besides None and Entire System if a source is selected that isn't one of those? After a bit of testing it doesn't affect what audio is actually sent, but it is harder to tell when the UI shows everything checked and not what's actually selected
whenever I try to copy an image from discord i get "unable to copy image" notification, in vanilla discord everything worked fine. Is there a way to fix it or is it something i just need to deal with?
wait 10 minutes and update vencord for fix
Is there an integrated title bar with window operations (minimize, maximize, close)? I enabled discord titlebar and disabled the system one, but the bar does not have window operations.
update vesktop
Hi, anytime I try to save an image I get an error: "unable to save image", I'm on linux and using the aur Vesktop package
Saving works perfectly on the native client feels like the native client works far better these days lol
read 3 messages above you...
Thanks! It worked. Just saw the aur was updated 3 days ago
yep :3
Peak then, tyvm
Appreciate an update as fast
Nice timing. First time I try to overhaul my desktop UI in a while and got some nice help
sorry, *17 minutes
mostly the same but im running stable stable
lemme try unstable
hm
unstable is a version behind
huh
stable showing 1.6.4 but why am i on 1.6.1 lmao
did you nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade yet? that brought me up to date and fixed the issue.
nrb = "sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/nixos-config/.#nixos-op";
uh oh my alias doesnt have upgrade in it LMAO
just noticed
ty
i apparently also havent updatednix flake
god im dumb
looks like the problem
I updated to 1.6.4 and vesktop just isn't working, the app is still vesktop but none of the vencord plugins are working, and the vencord tab isn't even in the settings
right click the tray icon and select repair vencord
it's not there
that's the taskbar icon
the tray icon is on the far right
Hi all; I seem to be having an issue with updating Vesktop. Whenever trying to use the updater; I click "Install and Update" and when I do it goes through a couple processes and then gives me an exit code of 127. I don't get promoted to enter my password (with the dialog popup) either.
I am on Linux if that helps.
hello! i cant stream
hello! umm this is a really specific problem but every time I share my screen, other people can't see it and when I stop sharing, my vesktop crashes, if it helps I'm on arch linux
make sure video hardware accelaration is off, this can cause infinatly loading streams. If this didn't fix the issue then try downgrading to vesktop 1.6.3 (the previous version)
read above. somthing something electron 40 idk
this didnt help. how do i downgrade. im on arch linux if this helps?
its also possible to download snapshots of aur packages to manually build those from a lower version
what she said
thank you very much!
Hi. Pls
Have a major issue where vesktop will display colors saturated and with improperly color output while text and other things can look "crunchy" It's only when on an SDR screen, and it occurs even if HDR is off on all my screens. It only displays properly while on an HDR window.
for example, this is what the app looks like with the error active.
Heard its a new electron version issue
I guess my only recourse is wait for it to get patched hten.
You can downgrade vesktop
How would I do that? I'm on linux for reference
No clue
which distro
and are you using the flatpak
opensuse tumbleweed, and no.
so you installed the rpm?
Yeah, pretty sure I did it through zypper
That fixed it, thanks.

Hey guys, I've been using vesktop for a while and I have an issue with streaming. For some reason stream quality is super bad, like 240p@5fps sometimes. But when I'm trying to stream on windows I get full 1080p@60fps. Any suggestions on where I can look? Maybe it's pipewire issue or something else idk.
Arch Linux AUR package
r5 5600
rx 5700
24 ram
Yes, I checked pinned messages and #1257025907625951423 channel
from what ive seen on my end screensharing usually starts out with horrible quality but stabilizes the longer the screenshare is active
For me it's bad for the entire stream. All my friends complain about quality
btw sorry if my english is bad
unsure then, it should work just fine - is WebScreenShareFixes enabled?
it was not
see if that fixes the issue; as mentioned, bitrate is probably low in the beginning but it should get fixed after a few seconds
okay, thank you very much
idk if vesktop has game detection but if it has it doesnt work on mac
this happens to me as well on kde plasma 6.5.5, whenever my display dimmens (for being inactive for a bit) vesktop's color contrast becomes really high for some reason, all other windows are fine
any way to make games get detected on vesktop windows? genshin lags as hell when i run discord's official client so i use vesktop. but it doesnt detect ANY game and i cant do quests anymore for that.
electron 40 issue, play around with HDR settings (if applicable)
just the downside of relying on vesktops custom rpc
wont ever be as good as discords
no thats fine but it detects literally 0 steam games
not even genshin
can you tell me one program with which vesktop works
i dont personally use game rpc but i assume if it didnt work at all we wuld see a lot more reports about it
from my experience vesktop shows games that have discord rpc explicitly built in with mid-match stats enabled (or the like)
r6 siege is one example
league (pretty sure) is another
and fortnite
as for game quests, just have the standard client installed and run the quest script whenever u need to, no way around it :P
unrelated but related, dyk why running the standard client and genshin lags like hell?
literally rdr2 runs smoothly and thats wayyyy more demanding
my guess is clips & hardware accel
-# clip recording reenables itself whenever you log out
this isnt the issue on my friends computers and i havent had this issue for a LONG LONG time
its only recently started
yo, some1 know if there is an option with vencord to fix the hdr stream bright?
discord itself also started lagging recently so that might be the case
does disabling hardware accel affect the app a lot?
i have a fairly decent computer
varies with everyone i think
specifically vencord or vesktop
my specs if that matters
only fix for now is playing around with hdr settings or downgrade until its fixed on electrons side
will this work properly?
idk but this went outside of vesktop topic
sorry
-# dont think vencord even has the hdr issue to begin with
yes that could be it, i also had this recently :( i hate electron
-# I LOVE BROWSERIFICATION OF EVERY APPLICATION FUCK I LOVE MODERN WEB!!!!!
at least the typing lag seems gone for most following an update yesterday/2d ago
How come Vesktop starts in the middle of the screen instead of remembering where I last placed it?
desktop environment, x11/wayland?
How do I find that out?
If it narrows it down, Bazzite KDE
should just work fine, wayland used to have a limitation on restoring properly but its been fixed (at least on my end)
one workaround was using KDE's window rules to always launch a window in a specific position/size but theres definitely a better way now

stable 490370 (33332c7) Build Override: N/A
Vencord 0126090 (Vesktop v1.5.8)
Electron 37.3.1
Chromium 138.0.7204.235
Colours seems to be completely borked on my second monitor (second screenshot, I have HDR on primary monitor)
Electron issue, try downgrading to the previous version
How do you downgrade to specific versions?
what os? or you could check the github
CachyOS
see this
i think cachyos builds some AUR packages for their repos but its honestly easier to just downgrade vesktop-bin from AUR and add it to ignorepkg list (unless uve used downgrade before)
I'm just gonna forward all arch questions to you kim
how is the voice messages plugin not working on macos not in known issues after 3 months
a few days ago (morning of the 24th), both me and a few friends ran into an issue where vencord will crash upon attempting to start a stream, we are on different distros with different setups, but the issue seems to have occured for all 3 of us at the exact same time, has anyone else experienced this issue? as i can't seem to find further documentation on it
we didnt do any system updates at the time of the issue starting, and performing system updates did not resolve this
hey is anyone else's discord crashing when they try to open the "More" menu on some messages? it happens on some and doesn't on others, no idea what the exact issue is
i'm on arch linux (kernel version 6.18.6-arch1-1 ), build info:
stable 490370 (33332c7) Build Override: N/A
Vencord 22e9730 (Vesktop v1.6.3)
Electron 39.2.4
Chromium 142.0.7444.177
Hello All; I tried asking about this earlier but didnt get a response. I am having an issue with updating vesktop. Whenever I try to use the official updater; I get this popup a couple seconds after clicking "Install Update and Restart". I have tried the method of "Repair Vencord" and using the devtools console command in #1257025907625951423 without luck.
System Info if needed:
Linux Kubuntu 24.04, latest kernel (6.8.0-90-generic (64-bit)) and stable discord branch.
I havent ever had this issue with the updater failing to continue its process
do u have bright issues when you stream with ur hdr screen too?
Gifs borked, CachyOS Vesktop from the UAR
I remember having issues with it in the past
Ill try turning it on and off maybe an update borked it
Yea no dice, still busted gifs
The native discord app seems fine with vencord, ill just use that for now
try downgrading to 1.6.3, the newer chromium can cause some bugs.
every time i try copy image it doesnt work and i cant copy image at all, and even right clicking at all takes a few clicks to get
been happening to me aswell
maybe the package is borked
ive also been experiencing a weird issue where the apps color will become insanely saturated after screen dims
dont know how it happens
Electron issue
Was updated between the last update
Good evening everyone,
Is there a plugin that makes people in a voice chat with think we're muted on Discord, but in fact, everyone can hear us?
don't crosspost
When i set the screen brightness to maximum, the colors become incredibly bright and vivid
Installed via FlatHub and running Fedora KDE environment
downgrade to 1.6.3 most likely. electron 40 bug
is there a way to use hotkeys on vesktop currently?
sorry if i may seem ignorant but will these issues be eventually patched or is it up to electron devs
Up to electron

did you type in 'allow pasting' before the console command?
For me this was fixed like literally yesterday and never came back
Help, i don't have titlebar buttons
This was mentioned in a github issue almost a year ago but it's happening again
this was fixed in the latest release
My rich presence doesnt work! I installed the rpm (not flatpak) and RPC is on in settings, but it is not detecting either steam games or games launched via faugus launcher. Running bazzite
For me it still is kinda bad unfortunately
Just read known issues, css might be it as disabling my theme fixed it
yea theres still some unoptimized/outdated css floating about so have to wait until ppl update their stuffs if u use imports
sometimes vesktop un-fullscreens itself and shifts a bit off-screen (stays the same size)? I have one monitor; cause seems to be random.
does anyone have this over saturated colors on their vesktop? I am wondering before opening a new issue on github
issue with electron v40 in 1.6.4
downgrade to 1.6.3
perfect, thx :3
i have problem. when i share screen, i choose 1080p/60fps, or more like 1440p. But my quality around 480p and 30fps. How fix it? Internet speed screen here
it was on Windows, and on Linux also
if WebScreenShareFixes is already enabled then not much more vesktop can do
try enabling video hardware acceleration as well but beware it can cause more issues than not
yea it is
screensharing usually starts out with bad quality as well but stabilizes after a few seconds
nvidia gpu sadly
it cause visual bugs
yea then not much to do
I also have an NVIDIA GPU so i am using something called Broadcast Box (google it). its instant streaming from whatever your OBS shows and with zero latency too. that was pretty much the only way to get a decent stream that's actually instant like Discord's is
where does vesktop store its files? i'd like to copy what plugins i use to my laptop
oh thanks!
has anyone made double click to react like mobile one has ?
#🏥-vencord-support-🏥 and no
hi, whenever i try to screenshare my vesktop crashes
Vencord: v1.14.1 • 22e9730 (Vesktop v1.6.1) - 28 Jan 2026
Client: stable ~ Vesktop v1.6.1
Platform: Linux x86_64
⚠️ Activity Sharing disabled
basically my problem is the same as this but the update didnt fix it
run vesktop in terminal and see if any errors appear
oh yeah, idk why i havent thought of that
either disable video hardware acceleration, and if that doesn't fix anything then try reverting to 1.6.3 vesktop. Electron 40 has causes some errors for some
reinstalled vesktop because i couldnt update through the script or repair and that fixed it for some reason lol. also i have 39.4.0 electron and 1.6.4 vesktop
Uncomfirmed, but vesktop memory leak?
Vesktop crashes after streaming for some time, I haven't timed it, but I think it crashes faster when streaming higher quality
rtx 4070ti super 16GB, 48GB ram, ryzen 5700x3d
Flatpak
did they fix the inf load sytreaming from like a week or 2 ago?
and the crash upon stream quit?
cool streaming kinda works now
anyone else getting where when they try to slelect any audoio source it selects them all ?
does ANYONE know how to fix the infinite DTLS connecting issue?
is there any way to make vesktop stop automatically muting me on startup? every time I close and reopen I'm just muted again
for some reason I can't stream anymore
it was working before, not it gets stuck on a loading loop, that ends with stream failed or just kills the stream
downgrade to 1.6.3 its an electron 40 issue
Oh okay thank you :D
(or disable video hardware accel)
Hello where! I got a issue with screen streaming - it starts on my side, but anyone cant connect to it. When i try to stop it - vesktop freezes up and only restart is helping. What i need to check to fix it?
does it happen on 1.6.3
im trynna make my background transparent
iv enabled the transparent settings and using a transparent theme yet it isnt working
and im on linux
sdl apps break vesktop and their own sound after running for a few minutes (pipewire audio)
Ok I'll try
Lemme try that too
Hey, i've been wondering.
Does Vesktop have a Discord "old-style" theme by itself?
why are all my text box buttons (and my friend's too) gone from our vesktop
no
known issue
What does name not resolved mean
maybe not vesktop specific but since it happens and someone here might know, my friend has had an issue where his discord client (with vencord or without) AND VESKTOP randomly freeze up and stop responding to the point he has to kill them, i have no idea what could cause this and i have now told him to try using discord in browser to see if it persists, is this likey to be an electron issue?
Does anyone know if it's possibly to modify the window controls on the Discord title bar? So for example on GNOME I have minimize and maximize disabled and only keep the close button on and moved it to the left
Most programs follow this preference, but both Discord and Vesktop keep all three and on the right. I'm unsure if that's something that Vesktop can fix before upstream does something about it (if that ever happens) but I figured I'd ask
I can't find it in #1257025907625951423 so when will or how can it be fixed?
probably css is ur best bet but its kinda specific
is it super common for people to get banned for vencord? also how long is the ban is it perma or for a certain amount of time
Will I get banned for using Vencord? Will plugin X get me banned?
Client modifications are against Discord's Terms of Service.
However, Discord is pretty indifferent about them and there are no known cases of users getting banned for using client mods! So you should generally be fine as long as you don't use any plugins that implement abusive behaviour. But no worries, all inbuilt plugins are safe to use!
Regardless, if your account is very important to you and it getting disabled would be a disaster for you, you should probably not use any client mods (not exclusive to Vencord), just to be safe
Additionally, make sure not to post screenshots with Vencord in a server where you might get banned for it

can i make custom keybinds on vesktop? or use a command to for example mute myself?
no clue how i'd approach that tbh 🤣
could it be done in theory?
its definitely doable but i wuldnt b able to personally point to the right modifiers u need
havent done too much w css myself
basically display:none the buttons minus close and reverse the order of it
Is anybody else getting the infinite dtls connecting issue?
like why cant anyone load my stream if i screenshare with vesktop
turn off video hardware acceleration. if that doesn't fix it try downgrading to desktop 1.6.3
I did and that makes vesktop crash when trying to screenshare
ikr
or it gets stuck on loading/black screen

Hi 👋 so I was making some plugins, right
And I was using pnpm inject, which injected the stock Discord client with idk but it makes it point to my custom Vencord
But idk how to do this for Vesktop
In Vesktop's settings, I've set the custom vencord location to both my custom vencord's root, and the dist folder
But I'm not seeing my plugins lol, and I've restarted several times after setting each
Which is a shame, Vesktop even has a dark mode icon on macOS lol, I wanna use it so bad
-# 2026-01-30T23:12:56.174Z
my brother has it and I don't, no idea why
same wifi network, plugins, distro, and dns config, just he uses kde and me gnome and he's on wifi while I'm wired
and now my screenshare is just broken
when I share it says discord crashes instantly and then the screenshare button no longer works
are you using tailscale
or docker
or any VPN basically
Update: it works now?? Weird
Is this the real vesktop
Yes
One message removed from a suspended account.
github is the only way to donate
It seems like I'm not seeing an app notification badge for vesktop for macOS, even though it's enabled in settings
And it works in the stock client
There we go
Hmm but now my plugin I made isn't working, for controlling the app badge...
I switched to the vesktop-git version of it on arch and screenshare seems to work fine again
Does anyone know how do to fix the DTLS Connecting bug because its clear that discord is Not going to fucking fix it themselves
is there a plugin that fixes the mempry leak issue or is my discord supposed to be taking up 4gb of ram
Welcome to discord
:(
i still got no help
There is vencord for android?
dont crosspost
dns is screwed (check your internet)
idk why they asked since the url is at the top
yes it is real
when in doubt read pins
almost 3 days
i think you need to provide more info
after a few minutes of running an sdl application and vencord, the sound of either sdl application, vesktop or both disappears from the list of things that produce sound, fixed only by restarting both of them
i use pipewire
hi everyone, so i'm using vesktop on gentoo, installed with the tar.gz to ~/bin/vesktop, and i get this weird bug. if i set my brightness to 95, then back to 100, the app gets "deep-fried". is this a known bug?
wdym intentionally 😭
yeah happened on chrome too, you have to set brightness to 99
its fixed on chromium 144.0.7559.109 youll have to wait for electron to have the fix as wll
so i guess adding --disable-features=WaylandWpColorManagerV1 should fix the issue for those affected reading thru the post?
and the way they 'stop' it is by forcibly restarting the app when it reaches a certain threshold
im almost certain half the team working on the discord desktop app and the discord website are vibecoding it in its entirety.
"claude, fix memory leaks in this app. make no mistakes"
None of these.
Same, I'm on kde and uisng my phone's hotspot for my laptop where I'm running vesktop.
Damn

i cant use screen share - If i press screenshare nothing happens.
unsure if this is a discord or vesktop problem but like half of the gifs in the selector appear as corrupted green and light green squares. runnin fedora KDE
turn off video hardware acceleration in vesktop settings
im glad someone identified it for you so i dont feel bad not being helpful, this is a fascinating bug
