About this application

Discover Overlay draws Discord voice chat information on top of other windows, so that participant activity remains visible while a different application holds the screen. Typical use is alongside full-screen games, video, or presentations, where switching away to the chat client is inconvenient.

The recorded summary describes it as a graphical overlay for Discord voice chat and no more; positioning options, which display protocols or compositors are handled, and how it connects to the Discord client are not documented in this entry. Because on-screen overlays interact directly with the desktop environment and display server, behaviour can differ noticeably between setups, and that is the first thing to test.

It is a Linux-only project published by trigg under GPL-3.0-or-later, so downstream use may follow version 3 of the GPL or any later version.
