Hi all, I'm looking for some Discord alternatives. All I really need is the ability to do voice calls and screen shares. It can be either via DM or channels, I only need to it be able to speak with a few friends that'd be open to moving over. I've tried Matrix/Element but there doesn't seem to be a screen share function. There's Teamspeak but I don't think that's FOSS nor does it support screen shares as well. Any other options? Basically just voice calls and screen shares is all I need, I couldn't care about channels or servers or whatever other functionalities Discord has put into their app. Thanks!

Are there any limitations with the screen sharing for these alternatives? Audio support or resolution adjustment? I thought I've seen mentions of lack of something but I may be thinking of Discord on linux

discord doesn't do audio on Linux

matrix clients that support pipewire should do fine

What? I haven't had any audio issues with discord on Linux (browser or app).
