I use the screen sharing feature on discord to watch movies with my friends but I would prefer a FOSS alternative. I’ve tried Element/Matrix with the Jitsi add on but it seems like you can’t share the audio using that and the app can be a bit buggy in general. Does anyone have any other recommendations?

    If you’re willing to try a different approach, Syncplay is pretty good. Rather than streaming a movie to your friends and hoping everyone has enough bandwidth to make it work, you arrange for everyone to have a copy of the movie, and then let Syncplay synchronize everyone’s playback.
