Discord alternative with streaming for gaming (alien.top)

Hello,

Is there any known alternative for hosting a service like discord. Their streaming is full bullshit. My friends and me always have artifacts while streaming or it is laggy or something else.

We all tried different varieties of settings with our setups but 99% the stream is shit.

Thanks !

Have a look at a jabber server. But it sounds like there may be some connectivity issue or bandwidth limitations, I've got a whole team on discord and we seldom have had an issue. During COVID we used the streaming to watch movies together.

I posted this also on r/discordapp:

Hello,

Whenever me or my friends want to stream while playing apex, the quality is always bad. Laggy or artificial squares also quality is shit. Tried a various settings from 480p to 1440p with 15-60fps. Everyone not only me has this problem. We alle have above 100mbit internet connection with mostly above 25mbit upload. For me I have 1 gibt and 50mbit upload. My internet connection upload on task manager says from 2-5 mit upload. Also tried hw acc on/off and other settings. Drivers up to date. Our hw is pretty good. Me cpu is 5600x and gpu 2080ti. Others have 5800x3d with rtx 3080 or 6700xt.

We stream every day and want to enjoy because most of us pay for this service. We mainly use it to stream.

Somebody know other alternative for stream for groups. No twitch or something like hard to set up.

Thanks ๐Ÿ˜Š

Will look at jabber server
