  "textContent": "submitted by emotional_soup_88 to linux\n39 points | 30 comments\n\nGiven the recent controversies surrounding Discord and the fact that the end user is a product of Twitch, I wonder if there is any “bare bone” solution to stream my gaming session to a friend who’s on Windows. I’d rather that they didn’t have to do anything except clicking on a link or perhaps installing a piece of software but with no need to do any configuration. From their perspective, it should \"just work.\n\nOn my side\nShould I set up a webserver into which I feed an OBS stream? Or can perhaps `ffmpeg` work as a server on it’s own? I’m on Arch Linux, playing games on Steam, within `dwm` within X11.\n\nOn my friend’s side\nNo idea how a windows user is supposed to receive such a video feed.\n\nEdit: text and voice chat, we’re considering Signal for.",
