      Discord has a feature that broadcasts games you play to your friends at all times, and many people leave the feature on.

        Oh, this is more people showing what they’re playing than actually playing the game. Lol

          Yes. Discord does have a screen-sharing feature but the one I was talking about is more of a “now playing”

        I think its called Discord Rich Presence? If anyone is looking to turn it off. I think you can turn it off for specific games too

        I turned em off when my boss at the time noticed I was always playing FFXIV. I wasn’t always actually playing, I used to leave it open almost all the time. Why was my boss and I in the same discord? This was early COVID and we used a discord to shoot the shit. Also almost all of us gamed, including said boss, and I probably wouldn’t have really gotten in trouble anyway, but I just explained I leave it open a lot and he accepted that without qualm.

      If the server owner gives the bot access to those permissions and the users have activity sharing enabled, yep.
