    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

    Something like [OpenTogetherTube](https://opentogethertube.com/) might help you out. For the audio/video chat I'd still go with jitsi, and have your table join an OTT session in parallel.

          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.

              sono seems pretty good, but it seems to not have mobile (android) support, or hexagon grid maps (my group prefers those since it's easier to calculate movement and stuff) discord doesn't work well for me. any player with slightly bad internet connection simply cannot load the shared screen, i don't want to install it so audio sharing through screen sharing is not possible, no drawing on shared screen is possible, and there are so many times that one person will just not be able to hear anyone or noone will be able to hear them, for no apparent reason. i don't want to use a vtt because i havent found any that was good and had mobile support (one of my players doesn't have a pc). editing the map however and whenever i want is also good to have, in case players modify part of the map (like moving chairs and stuff). i will probably just find a way to play music directly through mic output and forget about the drawing on screen possibility, since it seems like it's not possible.

              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.

                I really like OwlBear Rodeo. It is system agnostic simple tabletop. There is a learning curve but it's pretty easy. It's also great on tablets and decent on phones. The best part is that there are a lot of 3rd party extensions to dial in your specific game mechanics. I've been playing Dragonbane and it has some funky mechanics that someone else made work well in OBR.

                  I used to use OBS with a second screen for my IRL games. I could set it up to display art of NPCs or track initiative or whatever else. Now we use a TV screen with Foundry running.

                    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.

                        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)

                                  FoundryVTT can be self-hosted on Linux with a good set up guide for Debian-based distros. It also has tons of extensions made by users to add functionality and even whole game systems

                                      Have you seen [Dmge](https://dmge.net/) ? It's web based, but it has fog of war and a few other nice tricks, if you've got the maps.

                                        yeah, but it's also 50 usd and i live in brazil, so it's actually 5 to 6 times that price. also it seems to work poorly on mobile.

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