If you're making a video or livestreaming, you can then use OBS Studio to capture it too. You pick the server and channel, then use the dedicated sliders in the application to adjust the position on your screen. Thankfully now, you can do so on Linux too and quite easily!Īll thanks the "Discord Overlay for Linux" project which hooks up with the official Discord StreamKit Overlay, allowing you to easily set it all up. For people with only one monitor it can make chatting with friends much easier. Not only that, anyone who uses Discord to chat during gaming sessions on Linux can benefit, since it displays on top of your game. For example, having the name and avatar up of people in a specific voice chat room, to show exactly who is talking and when (amongst other things like text chat too!). What is it? The Discord Overlay allows you to show helpful things on your screen for video creation, livestreaming or just playing games with friends. This time it's the turn of the Discord Overlay. Once again the developer community is picking up the slack where the official stuff isn't working on Linux.
