    Currently there is no voice or video support in any Spacebar instance. This is a very difficult feature to get working, especially given that we must implement it the exact same way as Discord.com for client compatibility. We would be incredibly thankful for any assistance.

    Damn.

        Same, if only teamspeak supported screen sharing / streaming, then it would be fine.

          I thought discord streaming was so dumb until I was trying to reach my friend something in a game. Now we use it a couple times per month, it’s great. I hate that I like Discord lol

          My group is on Teamspeak. They are supposedly adding it this year, but it’s been radio silence for months.

    Why not just use Matrix? I thought it was the goto FOSS and decentralized Discord alternative.

      Matrix doesn’t offer the same experience as discord. I’m sorry but it doesn’t. I set up my own to compare to see if my friend group would like it, and it was quite a step backwards. Even in it’s best platform element it was missing a lot of stuff from discord.

      So, things like this I’d be very interested to watch. Revolt looked the most promising but it didn’t offer federation, and I wasn’t going to make everyone have a separate accountjust for our server

      So this will be interesting. I will need at least voice to get them to come over, but I’ll watch this project closely

        Voice & screensharing seems to be the thing holding all of my friends chained to discord

          I mean, it’s a valid reason. I originally joined Discord back in 2016 because of it’s easy to use voice. It became the standard for voice chat. Before that I had been using the Xbox party chat and other garbage voice systems.
