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 thought that I read that they recently started requiring a Microsoft/Google account?

Microsoft, google, or github yes. On the main jit.si instance. You can selfhost or use another instance though and not deal with that.

Uhm, no? I can still start calls on meet.jit.si without logging in.

That is what i read in an article recently. I have not had time to test it myself recently.

Thats sad :(

I tried it now and could start a call without an account. Am I missing something?
