I’m looking for something that can do chat, video calling with support for guess links and chats. I need it to work in the browser so I can send people a link to a chat session. Bonus if it has a simple mobile app and calendar integration.

Anyone know of something that isn’t Nextcloud Chat?

    I already made a comment but you should also look at rocketchat and revolt, since they are basically FOSS discord clones

    (I saw comments in the thread about wanting audio only calls.)

    I’ve been using self-hosted Jitsi Meet for a few weeks now. Works perfectly. Haven’t tried the calendar feature, though.

    I use jami but i dont think it fits your need for guess links.

    Still leave it here just in case

    https://jami.net/

    Jami is a free/libre, end-to-end encrypted, and private communication software.

          Have you actually dug into the internals? It is pretty bad. Large poorly maintained code base with poor cryptography. Theoretically it is fine but I’d rather use Signal.

        Im using it for 3 months now and I did not notice any stability issue. One time I experienced a long delay in receiving a message.

        Do you have any details on why its a security nightmare?

        All communications are peer-to-peer and end-to-end encrypted.

          It is a massive code base which doesn’t seem to get a lot of maintenance due to lack of developers. Jami also lacks a security audit which doesn’t build confidence

          From a security perspective it uses dTLS which isn’t great for metadata sensitive applications. Message delivery is also finicky since it depends on peers working reliably.

    If you don’t mind seperated tools that do well in their own :

    • Zulip for chat
    • Jitsi for video meeting
    • And whatever calendar you want for the calendar

    Huly is pretty amazing and has a self host option. It supports chats and video calls, team rooms, and has some cool integration for speech to text note taking. It also functions as a task tracker.

    Under super active development right now so host only if you can deal with occasional breaking changes.

    You want either mattermost or the whole matrix stack (backend, plus element with voice/video calls).

    Matrix/Element is more of a discord alternative, whereas mattermost tries to be more of a slack alternative, where it seems to have some calendar integrations.

      I think a gitlab install has most of mattermost inside it, and that means installation and updates are handled. I found the install of MatterMost via its devs used to be very naive, but the gitlab people did something right in vendoring it into their massive install. Gitlab-ce is bloated as heck, but it’s fire-and-forget on the proper platform and may allow inter-org linking with or without the matter bridge thing (which itself affords some interoperability).

      • no enterprise packaging
      • java?

      I mean, that’s two strikes, but I know the people whom 8x8 bought in like 2019 so there’s hope. Like, wow, their video-conf app and service was astoundingly good.
