Damn, I've been thinking about checking it out, but if it doesn't do voice at all (and I would also really like streaming) it's just not worth it to me. Text chat is nice, but I spend 2-3 hours evenings hanging out in voice with friends and I don't want to lose that. Messing with two separate apps is just not worth it atm, so I'ma keep steadfastly ignoring Discord's bullshit until Matrix is where I need it to be to switch. Although then the problem will be getting everyone else to switch, of course.
It does voice via Jitsi https://matrix.org/blog/2020/04/06/running-your-own-secure-communication-service-with-matrix-and-jitsi/
This is outdated and no longer preferred, it now has its own internal system called Element Call (aka an implementation of MatrixRTC).
i use coturn for voice on mine
I meant for video. The classic coturn connection is fine for voice - though I wish it had push to talk. 🥲
oooo yeah video is the one thing i have missing to have more or less feature parity with discord. wonder if theres gonna be like a coturn video type thing anytime soon
