The developer working on integrating network display functionality into GNOME Shell shared short video clip to the GNOME sub-reddit […] the feature adds a “screencast” button to the row of actions in the Quick Settings menu. Clicking this opens a modal picker where the user can select any Miracast or Chromecast compatible displays on the network.

    It’d be great if this was easily installable outside of gnome. I’d love an easy way to do this on sway or hyprland. Unless there already is a way?

    Wonder how feasible it would be to add a sunshine/moonlight option in there.

    Maybe a little overkill for a lot of users, but it’d do wonders in the gaming community

      I dream of an easy to use, ready to go, baked-in Sunshine implementation.

      I fear it just isn’t that well known.

      I mean, as a remote desktop for office use is vastly superior to anything else.

            I think its really great. Im using the server component together with spotifyd and then have the clients running on a few different devices. The sync is really good and you can adjust the delay of each device in the web interface. I mostly needed that because of a bluetooth speaker and a sound receiver which delays always by 250ms no matter the input. But now i have music blasting from every room and you can ealk from room to room and dont hear any delay. You can even have different soundsystems in the same room and it is not even noticable that there are different devices playing. I totally recommend it for a music multiroom setup. On my main pc i’ve even added it as an audio output device with pipewire :)

                alt here since world down: sadly this doesn’t work with movies. snapcast always adds delay to sync up all clients. so your video and audio are out of sync. I think i remember that somewhere people discussed that snapcast could report the delay to the pipewire to have the video player sync it back up again. but that isn’t implemented “yet” tm

                  What speakers/ receiver system are you using? I’m still shopping that part as well. I’m trying some wifi speakers but haven’t got them where they need to be yet.

    Finally, this is something Linux is severely lacking. Every Android phone today comes with screencast integrated. Connecting it to any projector with WiFi capability is no issue at all.

    Btw, is there any casting device/service available that’s not spyware (i.e. AppleTV/Chromecast)?

      If you’re just going to stream video like this you could use any linux hdmi/wifi capable device connected to your TV. If you want to up that with popular streaming services you throw in a remote controlled browser on the device… which is what I believe a chromecast does under the hood.

    I thought this was going to be a screen recording tool. Like sharex. Having cast feature is cool as well though.

    That would be so great ! It’s something I’d enjoy having even if I don’t think I’ll use it that much. Gnome is really great 👍

    Tried “GNOME Network Displays” from flathub previously, couldn’t get it connected to my TV and I wish it had option to cast a specific window. Hoping it will be smoother experience when it’s integrated into GNOME

      Just sharing a recent positive experience with bigger buttons: I just did some remote support because a printer wouldn’t work. RustDesk worked great and thanks to the bigger buttons clicking them with awful latency wasn’t so bad.

        Yeah I guess they are practical and easier to push. There is always pros and cons. :)

      My nitpick with those menus is how close the pop up menu is to the top panel and right edge of screen. I’d love to see some space between there.
