    this is making my ttrpg group actually consider letting me host stuff for them and I’m unironically thrilled… so like, matrix is the way, right? Or should I be looking at mumble or something?

      My TTRPG groups use Matrix for text and Mumble for voice. This arrangement works pretty well.

      We don’t use video, so I can’t vouch for that. The Matrix client called Element currently does it using Jitsi, and there’s a new approach in development that will eventually be supported by more Matrix clients: https://call.element.io/

      I’m very interested in this question too. I tried Mumble but it looks like it does not support screen streaming which honestly is pretty good. 99% of my discord use since I stopped playing wow is just hanging around with 3 friends of mine and speaking about crap. We like to play or watch movies together and it’s nice to be able to share stuff.

        Same, screen sharing in a group chat is a must. Been looking at Matrix/Element but it looks like hell to set up and maintain and I’m the only one with the setup to run it.
