Today I wrote a little Discord Activity plugin that frames in a named #owncast server.

We have a small community that sometimes hosts watch together type events (movies, sports, whatever), but for various reasons, desktop capture is sometimes icky, so we sometimes use owncast. This just lets us put it in the channel directly.

It's niche, unfinished, and I have to jump through some hoops to actually use it in our community instead of in a DM, but happy that its finally working, even if kinda.

@ety I host a website specifically for streaming content to friends in a discord. Discord's own streaming quality just isn't good enough for all my Linux ISOs...
Somehow, it never occurred me to create a custom discord activity that's a great idea

@Baa oh shoot, I didn't even think about how this basically sidesteps discord's kneecapping of stream qualities unless you give them money.

Granted, it's a lot less convenient, but still, for watch parties...
