Tried it for a bit... It's just not there yet. And in the end I wanted something I could self host like in the old days of Mumble and Teamspeak.

Went with a private matrix and element instance.

Have you been able to get screensharing with audio to work on Element? I haven't been able to determine if it's in Element Desktop or not. My understanding is that it has worked on some browsers, but I'm not sure about the electron app.

I haven't used it. I'm following a couple relevant threads on github and it seems to be an in-progress issue that nonetheless is intended to be a fully implemented feature.

Glad to hear that it's planned. It's the biggest hurdle to transitioning friends and family over.

I set up bridges for telegram, discord, and whatsapp. Most of them are STOKED to have all their contacts in one place, even if they still have to open the actual apps for certain features.

I just open schildi on my phone and start scrolling past users from different platforms and they go "GIVE ME THAT"

I have been eyeing Matrix from afar for a looooong time, i need to reconsider it once I'm fully settled on Fedi, guides to replicate what you did are easily available?
