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!

    I would recommend using Matrix. But if you really want the “Discord experience” than I would suggest Revolt.

    The Matrix network is the closest you’re likely to get to Discord’s features.

    Nheko is a Matrix client that I believe can do screen sharing.

    Eventually, whatever Matrix clients support Element Call might be what you want, but it’s in beta for now.

    Jitsi Meet might also be worth a look, although its (optional) end-to-end encryption was too demanding for some laptops last time I tried it.

    Since everyone is only recommending self hostable options and no hoster, here is a new candidate:

    OpenTalk on tchncs.de

    https://talk.tchncs.de/

    It is also free and open source and the server is hosted by a german who takes donations.

    The also have a mumble (like Teamspeak but as you said without screenshare) and matrix instance running, which are great but not for your needs.
