now i just need to find good screen sharing software...
-
Well, using OBS to put together the different aspects of video and audio that you want, then outputting a virtual camera source for another app to pick up seems like it could work for you if you spend the time setting it up.... Except for anyone that doesn't have the internet to see a video stream - that seems tough to work with.

so yes i'm trying to find a good screen sharing program. needs to work for android and either linux or web, and i'd love it if there's a way to play music (without everyone getting muted like in jitsi meet), and even more if there's a way to draw on the screen so that players can more easily show where they're going for me to move their tokens. also yes those are mouse-drawn pf2e kobolds. i love kobolds, but only the pf2e kobolds because they're drawn way cuter
I'm surprised no one has mentioned tabletop simulator on Steam. Lots of free mods that let you do all sorts of things. And it's system agnostic because it's essentially a physics simulator, with some game hooks like dice rolling and card drawing. Plus, if you want to get fancy, it does things like image import and fog war, And it's got the voice chat and text chat built in. If you do use it, don't forget to go to the settings and prevent other players from flipping the table. -

Except for anyone that doesn't have the internet to see a video stream - that seems tough to work with.that might work. the screen share issues are specific to discord, as we've tried signal and jitsi meet and everyone can see everything instantly. but the audio would still not work for music since anything with screen share or anything with camera access already takes audio from the microphone, unless there's sonething i can do to make it take audio from obs (i probably can)

seems like games can't be hosted on linux.

I recommend checking out [vdo.ninja](https://vdo.ninja/). You can set up pretty much any arrangement of screen and camera sharing you need and package it into a single invite link.

Have you looked at roll20? It has a mobile app apparently (never used it tho), and integrated audio but idk how good it isi have and didn't like it. it takes a while to get used to, and there's a bunch of stuff that needs to be bought or needs that needs a monthly subscription

It also has tons of extensions made by users to add functionality and even whole game systems

It's web based, but it has fog of war and a few other nice tricks, if you've got the maps.

looks pretty good, and feels way faster than discord, but it doesn't have screen share yet.
