Currently there is no voice or video support in any Spacebar instance. This is a very difficult feature to get working, especially given that we must implement it the exact same way as Discord.com for client compatibility. We would be incredibly thankful for any assistance.

Damn.

Yeah I'd love to move my gang off discord but getting them to go back to team speak or vent is not happening

Mumble is another strong, open source, self-hosted option.

If only it didn't looked like a 20 year old software.

Maybe it's just me but I think the Mumble UI is way better than the Discord UI

I don't know about the UX, but if you want peoples to use your app, it need to look nice.

I find the login page of discord intelorable, it has ugly EULA on it that I will never sign

Discord is also quite the resource hog. Trying to run the web version on weaker phones is a slog.

Yay mumble!

And I agree: it's better. I think it's faster and that, IMHO, is where the power is. It can look boring like a hammer as long as it's intuitive ... like a hammer.

Some of the best stuff in the world looks like it's 20 years past a prime that isn't, because they're truly good eternal.

It's voice chat, you choose a server and then minimize to tray, you never have to look at it...
