    Yeah I’d love to move my gang off discord but getting them to go back to team speak or vent is not happening

      Mumble is another strong, open source, self-hosted option.

        If only it didn’t looked like a 20 year old software.

          It’s voice chat, you choose a server and then minimize to tray, you never have to look at it…

          Maybe it’s just me but I think the Mumble UI is way better than the Discord UI

            I don’t know about the UX, but if you want peoples to use your app, it need to look nice.

        Just use sunshine moonlight for screenshare, it beats literally everything else, it’s not even close, you can play games through it, it’s just that good.

        I thought discord streaming was so dumb until I was trying to reach my friend something in a game. Now we use it a couple times per month, it’s great. I hate that I like Discord lol

        My group is on Teamspeak. They are supposedly adding it this year, but it’s been radio silence for months.

          Well the minute they do and it works for sharing videos as well so we can watch YouTube as a group then we will drop discord super quick. I won’t want to host it at mine but I’ll happily pay for a vps for it.
