Video capabilities aren’t currently enabled on the main instance. According to commenters in the meta issue, it is (mostly?) implemented and if you are selfhosting a Stoat server instance, you can enable it for that instance.

It’s now called Stoat Chat due to copyright reasons. It doesn’t have as poverful server management as DC or bots but a solid option if you can get your frineds to use it. I think you are thinking of the wrong thing regarding servers, you don’t need any hardware for one it’s like discord, the server exsists on the service servers. It’s like you just create one and use it for free. VC should be fine nowdays idk about screensharing never tested it but it should work. It is easier than DC due to it having less features.

It can be self hosted, but to connect the clients to self-hosted servers you have to edit config files, so it’s a very user hostile solution.

If you’re self-hosting, editing a config file will be the easiest part.

No, as in the person installing the app to use the service has to edit a config file.
Yes, I have no issue editing config files. I’m self-hosting, that’s the point. All the technical load should be on me. But my completely non-technical friends should not have to edit config files to be able to access my self-hosted services. Everything, for them, should be as simple as possible.

No worries if the answer here is “please go Google it”, but I’m curious as to what the end user has to edit?
Do they have to edit your domain into a connections file or some such, or is it more involved? I’d expect a chocolatey package or some form of installer could improve that hugely…
