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!

    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.
