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?
You must log in or register to comment.
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.
What’s their revenue model? Thanks for sharing
They have a SaaS option as well, I’m guessing that’s the main revenue plan.
Cloud based solutions in selfhosted are a hilarious suggestion.
I’m selfhosting it on box next to me. Wasn’t so hard for me to find the GitHub link on their website.

Idk, I’ve heard things about HooliChat… Didn’t their stream go down in the middle of a big title fight?
Plus that Gavin Belson guy keeps trying to jam his horrible signature into his products.

I would suggest avoiding anything that is a “community” or “personal use only”. If its not fully open its not worth it.
Matrix with the Jitsi meet plugin.
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 haven’t tried it myself but Mattermost offers most of what you’re looking for.
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).
I think Mattermost is intended to be just that.
I R fucking C. Who needs all the other garbage in teams?
We use this at work. Great for screen sharing and video chat
Self hosting allows you to improve screen share framerate
I like Jitsi, but when I record a session it always silently aborts after about 40 minutes.
- 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.

Do you absolutely need to put ONE tag on it all and say this is it?

Jitsi
,but it is a pain in the ass to selfhost with good performance.
You can take a look here as well:
One alternative that is not on the awesome selfhosted list is: https://edumeet.org/
But it is even more of a PAIN to selfhost it.
Check out Big Blue Button - https://demo.bigbluebutton.org/
Their website talks all about using it for teaching students but it’s really just like Jitsi with more features.

Big bluebutton is now integrated into Canvas, an open source learning management software (LMS) that every school I have went to has used.
