I saw some projects, but they all seem not really polished. It would be nice to be able to share sound too.

Unsure what you want to accomplish exactly, but if all you need is just literally to share your desktop and the sound from it, OBS Studio is great for that. It doesn't even matter if whatever video platform you're using supports screen sharing, you can just do it yourself very easily using OBS's dead-simple Virtual Camera feature.

I mean Jitsi is the most obvious solution.

I use MiroTalk since Jitsi implemented "moderator" authorization.

Banana! You don't really even have to "host" it per se

@littleomid @someoneFromInternet using synapse or ? Been wanting to start this. Friends are on the matrix.org for now still...

I use synapse. I set it up using docker, and the rest manually. There’s an easy ansible installer available.
