  I’m going to try self hosting stoat.chat not sure it has screen sharing yet, but apparently they just re-wrote all their voice/video stuff, so it should be available soon.

    It’s also worth noting, you don’t need to self host. You can sign up for their hosted instance too.

    Of course, if you want to self host that’s great too.

      I’m in the UK though, so they imply they may (already or in teh future) need to verify my age anyway.

    I tried tonight, pretty broken, couldn’t create voice channels at all

    I like element honestly, it has everything I need. Element call as a recent implementation is nice for that sort of thing. It also supports screen sharing

  Tonight I’ve tried a bunch of options

  revolt/stoat, and I couldn’t make voice channels at all. If I could and it worked fine probably would have used that immediately

  spacebar chat, got the server running just fine, no idea which UI to use, and when I tried the options I couldn’t connect to the server and it was really clunky

  setup team speak 6, immediately wanted me to create an account on their servers, rm -rf

  setup mumble - might actually work, but looks like ass, friends are gonna be skeptical

  setting up full blown matrix now I guess.

  Honestly, what was wrong with Ventrillo for voice and literally any forum software for everything else?

    What about for video screen sharing?

      Owncast?

      Not something that has ever come up for me, personally. So I don’t have an answer for that one I guess, if that’s something that’s important to you.

  For a potential 1:1 Discord alternative? The one that has stood out to me is Guilded. I started looking at alternatives last year when talk about this was starting to float around and forgot about it.

  Here’s a recent article with alternatives that I found in a quick search. Don’t agree with all of them personally, but I’m not the target audience for some of them.

    Guilded was great. Too bad it’s dead. 😕

      Yeah, I just learned about that. Really unfortunate. Seems like Stoat is the next option
