It’s not ideal but under the circumstances we have to fall back to what we can. It’s not up to our standards we have to build something that is now, corporations won’t do it for us if that poison pills. The the day is when that was workable or firmly over now
I already built my Matrix server. I’m ready for Discord’s enshitification
Does Matrix support screen sharing yet? IDK why I’m having such an issue getting a solid answer other places.
I’m able to do screen sharing, voice calls, video calls on element.
Group voice chat?
The ui indicates this is possible but I haven’t personally tried it.
Regarding screen sharing, I wasn’t able to capture application sound, but that may be a Linux issue as discord used to have the same problem.
I have the same issues on windows too
There is an issue for it but no one seems to be working on it https://github.com/element-hq/element-call/issues/3657
might depend on the client, but i know element supports it
My Matrix server uses Tuwunel and I use FlufflyChat as a client. I don’t seem to have voice chat nor screensharing.
But more robust versions of Matrix, like Synapse or Element, might have it.
See: https://matrix-construct.github.io/tuwunel/matrix_rtc.html
I use Yunohost for simplicity, thanks for the link though
IIRC only Synapse supports video/voice calls and only Element & Element X reliably work for video/voice calls.
Synapse supports certain specifications that make video calls less buggy, but it works on all of the major homeservers.
Yeah, wouldn’t be suprised. I chose the lightweight versions when setting up my Matrix server. Mostly as a test.
Is that an open source alternative?
Yes, and federated.
