Request: Google Meet Alternative (sh.itjust.works)

I'm looking for an alternative option to video chat and stream Jackbox games with my family.

Currently when we play, I set up a video chat on meet that family members join via laptops and then I connect a separate computer that shares its screen and audio from the running game.

Features I'm interested in:

  • Cheap/No cost
  • Easily to access (web based ideally)
  • Shares computer screen and audio
  • Unlimited/long meeting time (sometimes we play for up to 3 hours)

Does something like this exist?

Edit: We had a successful game last weekend using Jitsi Meet. Everyone was able to connect and we played for 3 1/2 hours. Jackbox audio and video went through nicely.

Have you checked out revolt?

It's essentially a discord clone, but open source.

Thing is, other than a few days back when it came out, I haven't used it. So I can't really be certain it'll meet your needs, only that it does have web based interface as an option, it's free and didn't have time limits when I tried it. No idea how voice and video are with it.

Thanks. I looked into it. Doesn't appear that video or screen sharing are available yet, though is a work in progress. I'll check back on this later when these features are added.
