Think the desktop client for signal does screen share but I'll have to check first
Edit: yeah you can heres the support link
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.
Revolt has a really nice UI tbh I hope it takes off
Judging by the screenshots on Google Play, it looks exactly like Discord.
Can you do screen-sharing now?
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!
Oh wow! That's good to hear. I'll be trying it out soon!
Need it on f droid
Hey just wondering, what communities does revolt have. Any Youtubers on there?
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.
I'm out of the loop and a novice, what's wrong with it?
Having Element be the name brand frontend for Matrix is bad, because it feels so... sterile in comparison to every other frontend, which feel fun in the way Discord does.
There's Cinny if you want something Discord-like.
I like cinny but it doesn't have any calling features whatsoever at the moment
right, I kinda neglected that point :/
Thank you!
What's wrong with Element?
Edit: I just saw your response to someone else with a similar question, myb.
There is also Element Call at call.element.io. I have not tried screen-sharing but it's worth a look.
Jitsi?
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?
Yeah, the latest update
Jitsi-meet and Nextcloud Talk can do that.
Some XMPP clients can do it for 1:1 calls, but for group calls it is a work in progress and progress has been a bit slow to be honest.
If on mobile, maybe Signal or the FLOSS version known as Molly (Molly assuming you're on android)
I think Element works well in combination with Jitsi, well or for your need just Jitsi could probably do the job too.
