I’d like to host a game night for friends and family where we play games like jackbox. I’d like to self host the service and give anyone a url and possibly a user name/password combination to access it. I’d like audio and video support as well as the ability to screen share and have a text chat option. I know there are a couple of services that do some of these things but does anyone know of an option that part offers all of this?
Does anyone know anything about owncast?
It’s self-hosted Twitch. A very pleasant platform, tbh
I use it and works very good for my needs
It sounds like jitsi may be the answer for me but this will be my backup plan
It might sound crazy, but nextcloud actually can do all of that. It’s pretty easy to activate if you already have a nextcloud instance. Just enable nextcloud talk app on your nextcloud instance, and maybe add a stun/turn server to make it works through double nat.
After the stability issues I’ve heard. I wouldn’t even consider nextcloud for my family at this point.
What kind of stability issue? I’ve been running mine for 3 years and hasn’t seen any yet.
I found this the other day: revolt.chat
I have yet to deploy it but from what I’ve seen it’s a discord alternative
+1 as a discord replacement though, if op wants all in one then jitsi sounds like the way to go, but if they’re looking for a drop in discord replacement revolt has been making progress
Revolt is a matrix-compliant client and server combo. It’s easier to deploy than synapse+element but obviously you miss out on some fringe features. There’s also the issue that a lot of the hard parts of setting up a matrix server are due to the video part.
Since OP wants video chat and screen share first and foremost, and since revolt and matrix both use jitsi for this, OP can use straight up jitsi and set up matrix/revolt later.
I did’t think Revolt was compatible with Matrix and I can’t see anything on the website suggesting that? Link?
github.com/miroslavpejic85/mirotalk might be an option. There’s both a server based version and a p2p version IIRC.

Big Blue Button
Last time I searched for selhosted online meeting, I found that.
Im trying to remember the app we used to use back in the win xp days for voice chat when playing mmos online… Ah, TeamSpeak, is that still a thing?

I think Jisti does all of those things. Essentially a self hostable zoom. Audio, video, screensharing and text chats.

Do you mean Jitsi?

Yes.

Seconded - been trying out jitsi at work and I’ve been really impressed

I’ll have to give this a try, thanks!
