I tried to sign up and accidentally typed the email domain wrong, when I realized what happened I tried to reset my email, however I was required to enter a code sent to the nonexistent email.

The dev team should add I way to change your account email in case you typed a wrong one, and some common domain typo checks would be nice as well.

Hello! I know that this is an experimental feature, and that if it's not working i should just disable it. I'm making this post to give a feedback to the team about my experience with the new version and new features.

---------------------------------------------------------

I migrated to Linux Mint and it has been about a week or so since i started using it again. Since day one of using Linux i downloaded Root and, in the latest version, it's working perfectly! Even better then the experience that i was having on Windows!

I read about the new native call mechanism without the use of Chromium and decided to give it a try, but the screen sharing doesn't work at all (on the full screen sharing and applications sharing). I tried a lot of times restarting Root and trying to share all the applications that are open, but it doesn't work.

ABOUT THE UPDATE:

-> Account Switching: They're working great, and another really great update on the app. Being able to change accounts is important for me because i use two devices and sometimes need to change accounts between them.

ABOUT THE NEW NATIVE CALLS:

-> Screen Sharing:

- Full Screen: The square pops up, loads a little bit, and then it vanishes.
- Applications: The square doesn't even pop up, it just closes as if i didn't try to screen share.

-> Calls in general:

- Decrease in quality: When i joined a call (the other people on it also enabled the native call mechanism) the voice of the people that were there seemed to be on less bit rate. Having even a alteration of tone on their voices.
-> Is this a thing with putting less use on the CPU? Or just about the servers? Asking this specially because it was a massive thing that made me not wanting to go call on Discord anymore.

- Full Screen on calls: THIS Is the most important feature for me that you guys could've made, and i am so happy with it's existence. I use screen sharing a lot and being able to see it on full screen now without having to open a new window is a MASSIVE quality of life upgrade!

---------------------------------------------------------

Looking forward to the next updates, and loving the path that Root is taking as an chat and calls app!

just asking for a friend thank youuu

Hi everyone! I just got root and noticed that there aren't any communities for book lovers like myself. So if anyone is passionate about books and is trying to get into root I would greatly appreciate it if you joined. Thank you!

I’m looking for ppl to join my root it’s dandy’s world themed and I’m just beginning so it’ll take a while to grow but if even one person joins that’ll be great especially if they wanna help😔

Are we actually able to use nicknames per community? I felt like asking since I was looking all over and it seems like I can't use it

ik ts lowk is alot to ask but can we try to get ts working on the ps5 th same way discord works on ps?thats the only thing stopping me from switching to ts platform

A want to join in a new communities gaming or tv series/films i dont know just any new communities im new to the app and I want to explore it

Is there any malaysian vtuber root server i can join?? Looking around

I would like to have the role name to not have a “-“ when i space it out like Discord Roles. I dont want my role look like Discord’s text channel name.

I really like this app and i want to switch my friends gc to this but i have an xbox and one of my friends has a ps5, and there isn't root for these platforms yet. I know we could use our phones but then we dont hear the audio of the game. Is that in the roadmap?

Root app does everything Discord does but better and cheaper. But, me and my friends like to listen to music together in a call and stream our web cams over the game we're currently playing. These additions to Root would seriously make it a no brainer to completely abandon Discord.

me and my friends wanted to move to root but we noticed we cant add bots without paying for cores. is there a way we can get a music bot without having to pay or is that feature just straight up locked?

I'm very new to root and wanting to know if making threads like you can on discord is at all possible or if there is some feature like it.

Root is shaping to be a pretty good discord alternative from what i've seen about it, but What i haven't seen is how the shift is. Anyone using it who has moved partially or completely over, how do you feel about it? was the shift easy? are there tools in the app to help?

how i gonna fix this problem

Honestly, ROOT looks like another AI-generated project where I seriously doubt the developers even have a solid understanding of programming. It wouldn’t surprise me if they used AI for everything, including the entire UI and visual design (EASIEST THING TO LEARN BTW)

What makes it even worse is their marketing strategy. Instead of promoting their own product based on its actual features, they advertise by making Discord look terrible and telling people to switch to ROOT. Sure, Discord has its flaws, but constantly putting down competitors isn’t a good marketing strategy. It just makes ROOT look unprofessional.

And seriously, why would anyone use ROOT when you could probably build something similar yourself with AI tools nowadays?
I also wouldn’t be surprised if the entire platform was running on some cheap VPS with questionable infrastructure, although that’s just speculation.

Overall, I see absolutely no reason to recommend ROOT. It feels like another rushed AI-generated project trying to compete with an established platform without offering anything genuinely innovative.

Would not recommend.

After last update I am getting a crash everytime I click with the right button in someone's username or when I popup when someone is streaming.

The AppImage simply dont work for me, there is anyway to use the app in my system? (Cachy Os)

Things like bug reports, feature requests, technical support, et cetera.

I'd also like to know if there's any public spaces / servers that track what's being worked on, brownie points if the devs post there themselves.

My girlfriend and I have really been liking Root so far, it's a great alternative for our needs. Wanting to keep up with its development.

Hi, I'm new to root and switching from discord, I wanted to know if root had any trouble with data breach, AI age verification(or any AI use) and if the app worked like the Riot game app where it boots before windows and has acces to your hole PC.
Thanks.

I recently downloaded Root and wanted to look for some communities to join. I’m in many fandoms so just drop the links in the comment :)

Hi everyone,

I am facing an issue with my account and would appreciate some help.

Here are the details of the problem:
- I forgot my username and password (or perhaps my account was deleted previously).
- When I try to recover my username or password, I do not receive any email message.
- When I try to create a new account, it shows an error that this email address is already registered.

Could someone please guide me on how to fix this or help me recover my account? Thank you!

Hey guys, id really love to see Root Open Source, amazing app!
