Nextcloud Talk
Self-hosted calls, chat, and screen-sharing inside a suite you own.
88
sovereigntyNextcloud Talk adds audio/video calls, group chat, webinars, and screen-sharing to Nextcloud, the open-source file-and-collaboration suite. Calls are peer-to-peer and end-to-end encrypted, and everything runs on your own Nextcloud server, so it is the strongest Zoom alternative for anyone who already self-hosts Nextcloud or wants meetings living next to their files and calendar rather than in a separate cloud.
