Technically, Signal, Rocket Chat, and Matrix all have multi-party voice chat built in. You probably won't have a great time with it, and if you want video or screen sharing, you'll have an even worse time.
Honestly just voice chat is all, I used to play SC2 with some sketchy apps that could do it... but 2026 feels like easy stuff got much harder.
Just tested out element and had no problem with screen sharing + video in a voice call. Haven't tried out the mobile app for that (but I haven't done that for discord either and on desktop, discord just doesn't screenshare like half the time for me)
I'm kind of shocked if you had a decent/superior time and Element vs Discord, especially if you're in Windows! This is a case where I hope I can be proven wrong.
Discord facilitates large audio and video calls, but if Element can manage even a handful of people at once, I would be impressed. In my experience, it hasn't, but such things are kind of hard to test.
