I want to stream videos with audio on my pc to my friends. I’m on linux, and video streaming is broken on discord (no audio of the source gets shared). Looping audio through mic (Soundux) results in poor audio quality, while discord-screenaudio just provides stuttery video. Any suggestions what to do?
No, it was invented to stream video files, I don’t think it’s able screen share, but you can use it easily for watch parties. Thats how I understood OPs question.
That’s an interesting idea and since vlc is even able to play files that are still downloading I guess it could also stream a screen grab file that is just temporary?

VLC was invented to screen share video from a host computer to a group call? TIL

You understood right, I need it for watch party. Can I use it for streaming over the internet or only my local wifi?
Do you know how to forward ports?
I can learn. What then?
Then anything that works on your lan can be accessed from the internet.
Vlc should be able to screen share as well.
Ahh makes sense I see. It may serve the same purpose just with a little more overhead
