Voice and screen sharing
Joining
Choose a voice channel to join it. Up to 12 people can be in one. Your dock (under the server list, bottom left) becomes a voice strip: Voice connected in green, the channel and server, how long you have been in, and a hang-up button, with Mute, Deafen, Camera and Share within reach.
Closing the main window while you are in a voice channel hides it instead, so the call keeps going; the tray icon brings it back.
If you join without the Speak permission you join muted. A moderator with Mute members can mute you, and one with Move members can move or disconnect you.
Your address stays private
Voice is a mesh: your program connects directly to each other person's, but every connection goes through a relay, so the others see the relay's address and never yours. Moymo's servers carry no sound; they only help set up the connections. The sound is encrypted end to end (DTLS-SRTP) and is never recorded, heard by Moymo or sent to Moymo.
The program tells you this once before your first join. If the relay is ever unavailable, voice does not connect rather than falling back to a direct connection that would show your address.
Settings
The Voice page (the cog in the dock, or Settings) has everything:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Devices | Which microphone and speakers, with a live meter. |
| Input volume | 0 to 300 %. |
| Sensitivity | A gate: automatic (it learns the noise level of your room while it is closed), manual (a threshold you set), or off. Between words the gate closes, so fans and typing are not sent. |
| Noise suppression | Off, Standard or Strong. Strong uses an on-device noise remover (RNNoise) that takes out fans and hum; the program checks it works and falls back to the browser's own if it does not. |
| Low cut | Removes low rumble. |
| Quality | 48, 96 or 128 kbit/s. |
| Delay | How much the program buffers incoming sound. |
| Push to talk | A key that opens your microphone only while held; it works over a game. |
| Camera | Which camera, sharpness and smoothness, mirroring, starting off. |
Your friends must have a current version too: your microphone is the one that is cleaned.
Sharing a screen or a window
Press Share (the monitor button). A chooser lists Applications and Screens, with thumbnails. Pick one; it shows up as a tile (or on the stage) for everyone in the channel.
| Quality | Up to 1080p at 60 frames a second, with 1440p as a server perk. The picture gets smaller, not choppy, if the connection or the PC cannot keep up. A statistics chip (Settings > Screensharing) shows what a share really does at both ends. |
| Sound | A shared window sends that program's sound; a shared screen sends everything on the PC except the voices of the call and Discord, so nobody hears themselves back. |
| Browsers | A browser being shared can be told to turn off hardware acceleration for the duration, so the picture is not black; it is restored when the share ends. |
| Compatible capture | An older capture method for graphics cards where the new one shows a wrong picture (Settings > Screensharing). |
| Lowering a watched stream | The stream you watch can be turned down while somebody talks. |
Going live needs the Stream permission. Emoji over someone's stream need React over a stream.
Over a game
With the overlay on, a small column shows who is talking in the channel you are in, over your game.
Sounds
Joining, leaving, muting, deafening, someone coming or going, sharing, being moved, a ping: each has a sound, chosen in Settings > Sounds (soft notes, voices, or a file of your own for each). Typing sounds are an optional extra under Accessibility.
Keys
Mute, Deafen, Share, Camera, Leave and push to talk can all have keys that work over a game (Settings > Keybinds).
