Hey, what do you guys use to share videos and screen share to your friends or colleagues? I'm looking to self host a video/call server that runs on webrtc (maybe?) with a fairly easy client experience. Something like mumble but for videos. Any suggestions?

I often have performance issues with Jitsi ("video has been turned off to save bandwidth"). Might this be down to which instance I use? Perhaps it's time to self-host.

We've been using it succesfully for work meetings during Covid. No complaints from either me or my IT-illiterate colleagues. 👍

I find also that the client side need to be as easy and accessible to average people. Server address, port and you're connected just like that. A big reason why my friends and my family had no issues using my servers

that's great ! I never heard of it before but it checks all marks and I've also found an arch wiki page explaining the installation. Thank you !
