I think Jisti does all of those things. Essentially a self hostable zoom. Audio, video, screensharing and text chats.

I'll have to give this a try, thanks!
Does anyone know anything about owncast?
It's self-hosted Twitch. A very pleasant platform, tbh
owncast is more of a "stream one thing to multiple viewers" kind of thing, as opposed to Jitsi which is more for meetings.
I've used owncast to host a couple of conferences, set it up on Linode with their single click install thing, I think. We had a jitsi call for the round table and one of the participants had OBS streamings its jitsi window to owncast. For individual presentations, we used https://vdo.ninja/ to get the presenters screen/camera/microphone onto OBS, where it was muxed and streamed to owncast.
It sounds like jitsi may be the answer for me but this will be my backup plan
I found this the other day: https://revolt.chat/
I have yet to deploy it but from what I've seen it's a discord alternative
It might sound crazy, but nextcloud actually can do all of that. It's pretty easy to activate if you already have a nextcloud instance. Just enable nextcloud talk app on your nextcloud instance, and maybe add a stun/turn server to make it works through double nat.
After the stability issues I’ve heard. I wouldn’t even consider nextcloud for my family at this point.
What kind of stability issue? I've been running mine for 3 years and hasn't seen any yet.
Multiple threads people have mentioned random crashing, DB issues and nonsense/useless log outputs that don’t help find a cause and just require you to restore from backup.
No way I’d consider it for business use.
Strange, probably due to some installed apps/plugins. I don't install too many apps/plugins on my instance and it's still rock solid to this day. Just like wordpress, most of the security and performance complains are usually due to 3rd party plugins/apps.
Possibly. What i was hearing seemed more like some weird DB/code gremlin thing. But I dunno. Literally never run it.
Also i think the deployment type was invovled. Maybe it was a docker specific thing??
