European alternative to Teams and Zoom (lemmy.world)

I use MS Teams for online courses for something like 10-20 people. I find it pretty slow and clunky to change settings and it is painfully obvious that it was made for large businesses and not for my case.

Beside that, it is Microsoft and American. What are the best European alternatives for what I use it for?

I'd love to self-host, but I find VPS with the specs required to be too expensive for me atm.

Zoom

There are many other open source solutions that might be better, but you should try out element-call (github).
Its the system used for calls by matrix/element, but it can also be hosted standalone as just a video conferencing tool.

You can test it out without an account here. https://call.element.io/
This site is sort of a demo i think, but i havent run into any limitations that would prevent you from using it for actual conferences.
I find it quite usable and the software can scale to very large calls if needed.

Im biased but i would of course also just recommend matrix in general to replace teams too. Ive been using it for years and its improved a lot. Its definitely still not entirely feature complete though, i have to admit.
