I’m looking for an alternative option to video chat and stream Jackbox games with my family.

Currently when we play, I set up a video chat on meet that family members join via laptops and then I connect a separate computer that shares its screen and audio from the running game.

Features I’m interested in:

  • Cheap/No cost
  • Easily to access (web based ideally)
  • Shares computer screen and audio
  • Unlimited/long meeting time (sometimes we play for up to 3 hours)

Does something like this exist?

    I keep wanting to try Jami and opened a thread about it a while back. It seems more geeky than Jitsi. That might be good or bad depending on your perspective. I’m not sure but I think it may be purely peer to peer, instead of needing a server. I tried to self-host Jitsi once and gave up after hitting some snags, but I might try harder sometime.
