- Linux Screenshare with sound & wayland
- Much better privacy, since Discord has no access to your system

- Global Keybinds
- see the [Roadmap](https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop/issues/324)

## Installing
Visit https://vesktop.dev/install
## Building from Source
You need to have the following dependencies installed:
- [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download)
- pnpm: `npm install --global pnpm`
Packaging will create builds in the dist/ folder
```sh
git clone https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop
cd Vesktop
# Install Dependencies
pnpm i
# Either run it without packaging
pnpm start
# Or package (will build packages for your OS)

pnpm package --linux pacman
# Or package to a directory only
pnpm package:dir
```
## Building LibVesktop from Source
This is a small C++ helper library Vesktop uses on Linux to emit D-Bus events. By default, prebuilt binaries for x64 and arm64 are used.
If you want to build it from source:
1. Install build dependencies:
- Debian/Ubuntu: `apt install build-essential python3 curl pkg-config libglib2.0-dev`
- Fedora: `dnf install @c-development @development-tools python3 curl pkgconf-pkg-config glib2-devel`
2. Run `pnpm buildLibVesktop`
3. From now on, building Vesktop will use your own build
