Wondering if anyone knows good alternatives to Discord's screen sharing feature (good quality, good framerate, low latency, and sound support).

Preferably FOSS, but at this point I'm taking all answers. Feel free to redirect me if there's any other community I should ask this in.

Try RustDesk.

It seems to have sound support. I can't vouch for any of the qualities you are asking otherwise, honestly I just installed it recently to replace TeamViewer on the machine of someone who occasionally needs some basic remote help from me.

OBS, which others mentioned, is, as far as I know, the most popular software for streaming otherwise.

Watch out. A lot of controversy over rustdesk because they do some strange things and route all traffic through their server in China or something.

(Not up to date on it, just have heard it many times in passing, worth looking in to)

Thanks for the heads up!

Side note: RustDesk has mobile client as well.

Seems cool, but they do data collection other than anonymous statistical data, which is a big no no for me
