I tried getting my friends to move to any other chat client but the thing that keeps them on discord is the screen share. Like it or not, this feature is what's locking people in as a one stop shop game streaming chat.

    did you ever use jitsi? its not a chat platform, but one for video calls. it supports screen sharing and its very good. it works standalone, there are public instances

    matrix used to use jitsi for group calls. I don't know what does it use now as a transition to an in house service has been in the works for a few years now, and element call just now starts to get mature enough, but I'm almost sure you can do screen sharing right now too. but try to check how usable it is before you try to get your friends to use it. if it doesn't work well, they may not accept your advice (as easily) in the future to switch chat providers

    Absolutely! I brought it into another group for corporate stuff and it was great. We also used it over COVID lockdown for games with another group of friends.

    I'll do more research on Matrix and see if i can set something up for a truly seamless transition. Thanks for the suggestion!
