Isn't TeamSpeak still a thing?
Not FOSS or open source in any sense. You could still say it's self-hosted, but I suspect most people self-hosting care about this.
Yeah, from what I understand, standing up a Teamspeak server is pretty straightforward.
I think they just announced a big new version just in time for Discord to tell us all to fuck off
I thought it was only voice though. Not screen share or chat.
Yeah, it has chat. Nothing too fancy, at least not back when I last used it (which, granted, is decades ago) but chat it has.
Good to know!
It does have screen sharing now! The Linux client currently can’t share system audio, but I think they’re working on that
Oh sweet.
