Discord screensharing doesn't work

Hey! Anyone encountered this issue, that you cannot screenshare on discord in librewolf? It shows loading forever on others screens (on mine I see it captures the screen just fine). If so, please let me know how to fix it, its pretty annoying. I'll add that sharing works well in ungoogled chromium. So I believe its just some flag that I have to turn on but I don't know which.

do you have webgl enabled? it's disabled by default there's a option in the librewolf specific settings if I remember correctly.

Yes it is disabled by default you're right. Unfortunately after enabling it still does not work

I had the same issue with Jitsi Meet...

I found no solution unfortunately yet...The solution that works is to use chromium and screenshare works, but I really would prefer do it in librewolf if possible...

Discord screen shair and maybe vc require u connect to a hardcoded ipv4 address they send you. Hence ipv4 to ipv6 translation automaticly handled by ur os at a dns level wont take effect. So ur device can detect if u dont have an ipv4 route and then automaticly applies ipv4 to ipv6 translation (u can encode an ipv4 address inside an ipv6 address).

I don't get what you mean. I dunno what ip has in common with screensharing. Especially that dc, vc everything works, just screenshare doesn't for some reason.

Tldr discord is designed in such a way it doesnt support ipv6 for video (it might for vc idk). Take a look at the network and console tab in developer tools while u try connect to a video and post it so we can see where its erroring at.
