For me at this point, it’s looking like Signal is going to be my Discord replacement. I just want to be able to chat with my friends while playing games without compromising my privacy or security. I don’t need an entire social network in one app, like Discord. Signal isn’t perfect, but it will do what I need it to do.
Yeah, Signal isn’t specifically targeted toward gamers, so it lacks some features in that regard. However, most of the ‘gamer’ features it’s missing are things that I never - or rarely - use, anyway. Simplicity, functionality, stability, privacy and security are my primary concerns with a Discord alternative (Discord itself failing at almost all of these spectacularly). Signal just does it better than all the others that I’ve looked at, imho.

How is the screensharing with Signal? I never tried it back when i was using it.
The biggest downside is that you cannot stream and use your camera. Compression can be pretty heavy sometimes as well

Yeah i really dont get why people need a fucking game API integration in their messenger application. Hello? I want privacy please.
