Do people really use screen share that much? (Sadly) I use discord to reach a lot of my friends for multiple years and we actually used screen share maybe twice? Three times?

    I use it daily for both work and play.

    In 3d work and game dev it's often far easier to just show people things quickly through it.

    When playing coop games our group will all stream so we can see everyone's PoV. We'll also occasionally use it to watch a movie together.

    I'm honestly surprised it's used that much. My guild (mostly working fathers) used to use TS3 and once discord appeared we switched there for the ease of it. Still used it mostly as voice chat with text channels being nice to have. But screen sharing? Pretty much non existent, quite a few people streamed on twitch, so we never really needed it.

    Same with all the other groups I'm part of there. It's always text + voice, also GIF and meme spam and stuff. But screen share? Virtually zero.

    That's why I'm so surprised.
