The developer working on integrating network display functionality into GNOME Shell shared short video clip to the GNOME sub-reddit […] the feature adds a “screencast” button to the row of actions in the Quick Settings menu. Clicking this opens a modal picker where the user can select any Miracast or Chromecast compatible displays on the network.

hydrocat ( @hydrocat@lemmy.eco.br ) 19•11 months agoThat is so cool!
miniu ( @miniu@beehaw.org ) English10•11 months agoI thought this was going to be a screen recording tool. Like sharex. Having cast feature is cool as well though.

Chewy ( @Chewy7324@discuss.tchncs.de ) 10•11 months agoJust sharing a recent positive experience with bigger buttons: I just did some remote support because a printer wouldn’t work. RustDesk worked great and thanks to the bigger buttons clicking them with awful latency wasn’t so bad.
1984 ( @1984@lemmy.today ) 5•11 months agoYeah I guess they are practical and easier to push. There is always pros and cons. :)
vd1n ( @vd1n@lemmy.ml ) 1•11 months agoMy nitpick with those menus is how close the pop up menu is to the top panel and right edge of screen. I’d love to see some space between there.
mawkler ( @mawkler@lemmy.ml ) English5•11 months agoBtw, is there any casting device/service available that’s not spyware (i.e. AppleTV/Chromecast)?
fristislurper ( @fristislurper@feddit.nl ) 10•11 months agoMiracast is basically just wireless HDMI
smpl ( @smpl@discuss.tchncs.de ) English3•11 months agoIf you’re just going to stream video like this you could use any linux hdmi/wifi capable device connected to your TV. If you want to up that with popular streaming services you throw in a remote controlled browser on the device… which is what I believe a chromecast does under the hood.
kaya ( @kaya@eviltoast.org ) English3•11 months agoTried “GNOME Network Displays” from flathub previously, couldn’t get it connected to my TV and I wish it had option to cast a specific window. Hoping it will be smoother experience when it’s integrated into GNOME
