Download .rpm| Distribution | Recommended | Install Command |
|---|---|---|
| SteamOS / Steam Deck | Flatpak | flatpak install gamevox.flatpak |
| Ubuntu / Debian / Mint | .deb | sudo dpkg -i gamevox.deb |
| Pop!_OS | .deb | sudo dpkg -i gamevox.deb |
| Fedora / Nobara | .rpm | sudo dnf install gamevox.rpm |
| openSUSE | .rpm | sudo zypper install gamevox.rpm |
| Arch / Manjaro / EndeavourOS | AppImage | Run directly (see below) |
| Bazzite / Silverblue | Flatpak | flatpak install gamevox.flatpak |
| NixOS | AppImage | Run directly |
The Flatpak version bundles all dependencies (WebKit2GTK, GTK3, GStreamer) via the GNOME runtime. This is the only option for SteamOS since it doesn't ship WebKit2GTK and the root filesystem is read-only.
After installation, GameVox will also appear in your application launcher.
A single portable executable. No installation required — just download, make executable, and run.
Download the .deb package and install it:
Or with apt directly (handles dependencies automatically):
GameVox will be available in your application launcher, or you can run gamevox from a terminal.
Download the .rpm package and install it:
Install the required dependencies, then use the AppImage:
Then download and run the AppImage as described above.
GameVox includes a launcher that handles automatic updates. When you download from the main download page, you get the launcher which will:
The launcher is the recommended way to keep GameVox up to date. The direct download links above are for manual installation if you prefer to manage updates yourself.
All formats except Flatpak require these system libraries:
| Distribution | Command |
|---|---|
| Ubuntu / Debian | sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 libgtk-3-0 gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad |
| Fedora | sudo dnf install webkit2gtk4.1 gtk3 gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free |
| Arch / Manjaro | sudo pacman -S webkit2gtk-4.1 gtk3 gst-plugins-bad |
| openSUSE | sudo zypper install webkit2gtk3 gtk3 gstreamer-plugins-bad |
| Void Linux | sudo xbps-install webkit2gtk gtk+3 gst-plugins-bad1 |
If you see "Missing required libraries: WebKit2GTK", install the dependencies for your distro from the table above. If your distro doesn't package WebKit2GTK (like SteamOS), use the Flatpak version.
Make sure the file is executable: chmod +x GameVox-*.AppImage
On Fedora and similar distros, you may also need libfuse2:
If FUSE is a problem, download the raw binary or .rpm instead.
Some distros (notably Ubuntu and Debian) compile WebKit2GTK without WebRTC support. GameVox detects this and falls back to a built-in voice engine automatically. If voice still doesn't work, make sure GStreamer plugins-bad is installed:
GameVox forces the X11 backend via XWayland on Wayland sessions to avoid input issues with frameless windows on tiling window managers (Sway, Hyprland, Niri). If you experience display problems, make sure XWayland is installed.
Screen share audio uses per-window capture provided by the browser engine. Make sure PipeWire (or PulseAudio) is running. On some Wayland compositors, you may need to grant screen capture permission via the XDG Desktop Portal.
