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!

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.
What’s wrong with Element?
Edit: I just saw your response to someone else with a similar question, myb.
There’s Cinny if you want something Discord-like.
Thank you!
I like cinny but it doesn’t have any calling features whatsoever at the moment
right, I kinda neglected that point :/
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.

Interesting. Thank you for the suggestion, I’ll see about it.
