Hi all, I’m looking for some Discord alternatives. All I really need is the ability to do voice calls and screen shares. It can be either via DM or channels, I only need to it be able to speak with a few friends that’d be open to moving over. I’ve tried Matrix/Element but there doesn’t seem to be a screen share function. There’s Teamspeak but I don’t think that’s FOSS nor does it support screen shares as well. Any other options? Basically just voice calls and screen shares is all I need, I couldn’t care about channels or servers or whatever other functionalities Discord has put into their app. Thanks!
Revolt has a really nice UI tbh I hope it takes off
Do you use Revolt? I’ve heard mixed things but I’d like to know from a user.
Yes. I host my own revolt server and it’s been great. Features parity with discord is nice so far and username have discriminator!
There is also Element Call at call.element.io. I have not tried screen-sharing but it’s worth a look.
Element can screen share, but only when both users are using the desktop client. If one user is using mobile, screen sharing won’t work.
Think the desktop client for signal does screen share but I’ll have to check first
Edit: yeah you can heres the support link
Matrix with Element can really go fuck off. Matrix on Nheko, or Matrix on Fluffychat are way more enjoyable. I know OP already knows this but Matrix replicates the text and image chats/channels/threads/servers of Discord but doesn’t have the same parity for Discord’s voice chat and screen sharing.
What’s wrong with Element?
Edit: I just saw your response to someone else with a similar question, myb.
Jitsi?
I thought that I read that they recently started requiring a Microsoft/Google account?
I tried it now and could start a call without an account. Am I missing something?
Yeah, the latest update
