Lets Me Show
One download, two things

Go live on Discord.
Or skip Discord entirely.

Lets Me Show does two jobs. It gets Discord's Go Live unblocked where your region says no — and it gives you your own room, with voice, chat and screen sharing, when you would rather not involve Discord at all. Free, no account, nothing about you stored.

Checking the latest release…

Two products, one app

They solve the same evening from opposite ends: one makes Discord work the way it should, the other makes Discord unnecessary. You install once and use whichever you feel like — they never depend on each other.

For Discord

Go Live, unblocked

Discord decides whether you can stream based on where it thinks you are. Lets Me Show routes only that check through a SOCKS5 server and starts Discord normally.

  • Your video, voice, games and downloads keep using your own connection.
  • Discord is never patched — it starts with the proxy flags Chromium already ships with.
  • One switch in the tray. Turning it off puts Discord back exactly as it was.
How the bypass works
Without Discord

Your own room

A room for up to eight people with voice, chat and screen sharing, that opens with a code instead of an account. Everything goes straight between your machines.

  • Anyone in the room can share a screen — it is not one person broadcasting.
  • Voice, screen and chat are encrypted end to end and never touch our server.
  • Nothing is recorded. Whoever joins starts with an empty chat, every time.

Same llama, two jobs

She puts the balaclava on when the SOCKS server is up — that is the bypass running. Without it, she is just the mascot of a room you own.

Both are free, and neither asks you to sign in. The bypass talks only to Discord and to the proxy list it tests; the room uses one small relay of ours that introduces the machines and then steps out of the way.

The first half of the app

Unblocking Go Live, without touching Discord

Discord's desktop app is built on Chromium, and Chromium already knows how to use a proxy. Lets Me Show simply starts Discord with those official flags set — nothing is patched, injected or rewritten.

No files touched

It never modifies Discord's files, memory or JavaScript. It passes --proxy-server and --proxy-bypass-list, the same switches Chromium ships with.

Your games stay fast

Only Discord's API traffic goes through the server. Voice, video, the CDN and everything else on your machine keep going out over your normal connection.

Nothing collected

No account, no telemetry, nothing about you kept anywhere. For the bypass there is no server of ours in the middle at all — the app talks only to Discord and to the proxy list it tests.

  1. 1It finds your Discord installation and closes it if it is running.
  2. 2It pulls a public SOCKS5 list and tests each server against Discord’s gateway, keeping the first one that answers.
  3. 3It starts Discord with that server set as proxy, and adds the media and CDN hosts to the bypass list.
  4. 4The app sits in your tray. Turning it off closes Discord and reopens it with no proxy at all.
The second half of the app

Get up to eight people into a room with a code, hear each other, type to each other, and put a screen up — no Discord involved, no accounts, nothing uploaded anywhere.

A room, not a broadcast

Up to eight people in the same room, each with a name and a picture. Everyone can talk, and anyone can put their screen up — not just whoever started it.

Encrypted, straight between you

Voice, screen and chat go machine to machine, encrypted end to end by WebRTC — there is no unencrypted mode to fall back to. Measured on a real call: 1850 KB of video over the direct link, 21 KB through our relay, and those 21 KB were only connection details.

Nothing is kept

No recording, no copy on a disk anywhere. The chat never leaves your machines: whoever joins starts with an empty one, and when you leave the conversation is gone for good.

  1. 1Create a room and you get a twelve-character code — read it out in blocks of four, no link to paste.
  2. 2Whoever you called types that code into their app and they are in.
  3. 3Talk. Everyone hears everyone, and there is a chat panel on the right when typing is easier.
  4. 4Put a monitor or a single window up, with your PC audio if you want it. Switch it any time — nobody drops.

Rooms that outlive you

A normal room dies with the last person in it. Tick permanent when you create one and the code keeps working after everyone leaves — so if your connection drops, you come back to the same room instead of agreeing on a new code.

The chat never comes back

Even in a permanent room. Messages travel over the same encrypted peer connection as the voice, live only in memory, and are never handed to somebody arriving later. There is no history to recover, on our side or yours.

The one server involved, and what it can see

Computers cannot find each other out of thin air, so there is a small relay of ours that introduces them and keeps the list of who is in a room — a few kilobytes of connection details, and then it steps out of the way. It never receives your voice, your screen or your messages, because none of them ever go near it.

Nothing is written to disk on that relay, and restarting it wipes everything, permanent rooms included. The Discord bypass does not use it at all.

What changed

Every version, and what it actually did. The app checks this same list and tells you when there is something newer than what you are running.

2.4.0Sharper screen sharing, sounds in the room, and messages that expireSep 5, 2026
  • ImprovedScreen sharing was sending a far worse picture than it should. Picking 1080p actually looked worse than leaving it on Auto — measured, with no network limit involved. It now sends the full resolution from the first seconds.
  • NewSharing starts at 30 fps and climbs to 60 only once the connection proves it can hold it, dropping back the moment it cannot. The picture arrives sharp first and smooth second, instead of blurry and smooth.
  • NewA short chime when somebody joins or leaves — rising to come in, falling to go out. It plays on the same device as the call, and you can switch it off in the sound settings.
  • NewChat messages disappear 30 minutes after they are sent, so a room left open all day never turns into a transcript.
  • NewCreating or joining a room now shows the mascot while it connects, instead of a line of grey text.
  • ImprovedWith two people in the room, the two cards no longer stretch to opposite corners with a hole in the middle.
  • NewThe site follows your system theme, and has a switch for light and dark.
2.3.0A chat in the room, rooms that outlive you, and a dark themeSep 5, 2026
  • NewA chat panel on the right of the call. It goes over the same encrypted peer connection as the voice, never touches our relay, and is never handed to somebody who joins later.
  • NewPermanent rooms: tick the box when you create one and the code keeps working after everyone leaves, so a dropped connection does not cost you the room.
  • NewA dark theme, with a third option that just follows Windows and keeps following it when Windows changes at night.
  • NewOne click to go back to the last room you were in — it appears next to the code field, and disappears on its own if that room is gone.
  • NewThe screen picker shows your screens live while you choose, instead of a photo taken when the list was read.
  • NewRight-click somebody who is sharing to mute their screen audio without losing their voice.
  • NewRoom codes are twelve characters instead of six, shown in blocks of four. Guessing your way into a room stops being a plan.
  • NewCall settings are their own dialog now, split into Voice, Sound and Screen, with our own dropdowns and checkboxes instead of the ones Windows draws.
  • NewThe language lives in the title bar, next to your name — it is a setting of the app, not of a call.
  • NewThe tray app was rebuilt around the mascot, and it puts a balaclava on once the SOCKS server is up.
  • ImprovedThe tray icon lights up while you are in a room, not only while the Discord bypass is on.
  • ImprovedReopening the app after a crash no longer leaves your old session sitting in the room, which is what could make you hear your own voice back.
  • ImprovedThe whole app follows the mascot’s blue now, the world map included — the old warm palette read as if it came from somewhere else.
2.2.2The room, the way a call should lookAug 31, 2026
  • ImprovedVoice no longer goes silent when somebody shares their screen with sound — each one plays on its own now, instead of one hiding the other.
  • NewWith nobody sharing, the room fills the window with everyone in it, and a ring around a picture shows who is talking.
  • NewHover somebody who is sharing and click their picture to watch — click again to stop.
  • NewRight-click a person for their own volume, just for you. The call has a master volume, and the shared audio its own.
  • NewVoice isolation on the microphone, on by default, with noise suppression and automatic level you can switch off.
  • NewChoose your microphone and your sound output from the settings.
2.2.1Control over what you share and what you watchAug 24, 2026
  • NewStop sharing from the same panel you started it in.
  • NewPick whose screen you want to watch when more than one person is sharing — or watch nobody and just stay on the call.
  • NewChoose your microphone and your sound output from the settings.
  • ImprovedYour own avatar now lights up when you talk, like everyone else’s.
  • ImprovedTurning on PC audio explains, up front, that Windows captures everything on your default device — including the other people, who would hear themselves back.
  • ImprovedRemoved the upload bandwidth notice.
2.2.0Rooms, voice and three languagesAug 4, 2026
  • NewScreen sharing is now a room: create one and you get a six-character code for people to join with.
  • NewEveryone in a room can talk — microphone in, with a mute and a deafen button.
  • NewAnyone in the room can put their screen up, not just whoever created it, and switching source drops nobody.
  • NewSend your PC audio along with the picture.
  • NewPick a name and a picture; everyone sees who is who, and who is talking.
  • NewEnglish, Portuguese and Spanish — pick one during setup or from the app at any time.
  • NewAuto quality aims at your screen’s native size and 60 fps, and the app warns you when your upload cannot keep up.
  • ImprovedRooms hold up to eight people, up from four.
2.0.0Automatic servers and one-click connectJul 12, 2026
  • NewAutomatic SOCKS5 discovery — the app finds and tests a server before using it.
  • NewOne-click connect, with the real response time of the chosen server on the card.
  • NewBring your own SOCKS5 address if you would rather not use a public one.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes — completely. There is no paid tier, no trial, no account and no limit on how much you use it. If you want to support the work there is a donation section, but nothing in the app is gated behind it.

Is this a VPN?

No. A VPN sends all of your machine's traffic through another network, which is why games lag and downloads slow down. This app only sets a proxy for the Discord process, and even there it excludes the media and CDN hosts, so streaming and voice go out directly.

Will this get my Discord account banned?

We cannot promise anything about another company's moderation decisions, and you should be wary of any tool that does. What we can tell you is what the app does and does not do: it does not modify Discord's files, inject code, or touch its memory. It only launches the official client with standard Chromium command-line flags — the same ones any Chromium app accepts. Modified clients such as BetterDiscord or Vencord work very differently.

Who owns the proxy servers?

In automatic mode the app tests public SOCKS5 servers from a free list. They are run by strangers, so treat them as untrusted: the operator can see the Discord API traffic that passes through them. Your voice, video and screen share do not pass through — they go direct. If you would rather not use a public server, the app lets you enter your own SOCKS5 address instead.

When I share my screen, does it go through your servers?

Neither the picture nor the voice does — both go straight from one machine to another. What we do run is a small relay that introduces people to each other and keeps track of who is in a room. It passes a few kilobytes of connection details and nothing else. Nothing is written to disk there, and a room vanishes when the last person leaves.

Do the people I call need to install the app?

Yes. Everyone in a room is a full participant — they can talk and put their own screen up — and that needs the app on both ends. It is the same free download, with no account to create.

Can people see my whole desktop?

Only what you picked. You choose a specific monitor or a single window before anything starts — share just the one window and the rest of your desktop, your notifications and your other screens never leave your machine. You can switch to something else at any time without anyone dropping out.

Can they hear my game, or only my microphone?

Both, if you want. There is a switch for PC audio when you start sharing, so whatever is playing on your machine goes along with the picture. Your microphone is separate and you can mute it whenever you like.

Is any of this recorded?

No, and there is nowhere for it to be recorded to. Voice and screen are peer-to-peer, so no copy reaches us, and a room only exists while people are in it.

How many people fit in a room?

Eight. Talking is cheap, but a screen costs real upload: every person watching yours needs a few Mbps from your connection, so with a full room the app warns you and you can drop the quality.

Discord opens but stays on the loading screen.

That means the server it picked stopped responding after the test. Open the app and use Find another server, or turn it off and on again — it will exclude the previous one and look for a different server.

Does it run in the background and eat my FPS?

The app lives in the system tray and does nothing while idle — no polling, no background traffic. The proxy itself is handled by Discord's own Chromium engine, not by us, so there is no extra process sitting between you and the network.

Do I need to keep the app open?

Only if you want to switch servers or turn the bypass off. Once Discord has started with the flags, closing the popup changes nothing — quitting the app from the tray does not disturb the running Discord either.

Which systems are supported?

Windows 10 and 11 are tested. On Linux it supports Flatpak, Snap and native installs, writing the Chromium flags the way each packaging expects. macOS is not available yet. The download section always reflects what is actually published.
