Introduction

WSA RPC Bridge is an app that retrieves media playback information from apps running on WSA (Windows Subsystem for Android) or Android devices and displays it as Discord Rich Presence.

What It Can Do

• When media plays in a supported app on WSA / Android, the track title, artist name, player app name, and playback position are automatically displayed as a Discord activity
• Works with both the desktop and Android versions

What It Cannot Do

• Windows-native media playback is not supported. Playback in PC browsers or desktop music apps cannot be detected. This app is dedicated to media playing on WSA / Android
• You never log in to Discord from this app itself, but a separately installed logged-in Discord client / app is required

Downloads are available from Releases (Windows: *.msi / Android: *_android_arm64.apk). See Verification to confirm file authenticity.

Supported Environments

	Desktop (Windows)	Android
OS	Windows 11 or later (WSA requires Windows 11)	Android 7.0 (API 24) or later
Additional requirements	WSA installed + developer mode	Notification access permission granted
Discord	Logged-in desktop client	Logged-in Discord app
Distribution format	MSI installer	APK

Desktop Setup

1. Download the MSI installer from Releases and install it
2. Enable developer mode in WSA. The ADB connection relies on this developer mode
   • If WSA is not installed yet, WSABuilds is an easy way to get it
3. Launch the app, and have a logged-in Discord client running
4. Play music or video in an app inside WSA, and it will be reflected on Discord within seconds

Note

The ADB connection is local-only communication with WSA on the same PC (127.0.0.1); no data is sent to external servers.

Android Setup

1. Download the APK from Releases and install it
2. Launch the app and grant notification access permission (the guidance banner takes you to the settings screen)
3. In the Settings tab, add the music apps you want detected to the whitelist
4. With the Discord app running, currently playing media is reflected on Discord

If the whitelist is empty

On Android, if nothing is registered in the whitelist, no app will be detected. Be sure to configure the whitelist after first launch.

On Android 13 or later, also grant the notification permission so the persistent service notification can be shown. See Android Version Support for version-specific differences.
