Any alternative you would recommend? I’m mostly using it for video group call for dnd. Although convincing the group to change to yet another program would be the hardest part.
Microsoft Roblox ripped off Discord and branded it as Guilded GG.
Features-wise for audio and game streaming, they offer higher quality than Discord for free.
Is there any chance you’ll get your group of friends to move to “MS Teams for gamers”? anything other than Discord? No chance.
Edited: Correction that Guilded is owned by Roblox, not MS.
Not sure if matrix does video calls, so if you’re looking for something additional for that functionality, jitsi may be worth looking into. If I recall correctly its open source

Guilded.gg is owned by Roblox, where does Microsoft come into play?
Just checked and you’re right. Looks like it was always owned by Roblox.
I must be getting it mixed up with the Teams features they added to the Xbox game bar on windows.
The inertia of “what we have works fine” is why I’m still using a lot of things.
Matrix, I’d you want something truly open and respects user privacy.
Host a teamspeak server on a raspberry pi, the sound quality is superior and there’s no stupid feature set you don’t need

They do, group video calls are implementing Jitsi.
Thanks for reminding me of jitsi! I’ll see if my group would bite for a matrix and jitsi combo lol
Someone else responded to me saying I wasn’t sure if matrix supports video calls:
“They do, group video calls are implementing Jitsi.”
Integration might make things even easier :)
Best of luck!
Matrix is to discord as lemmy is to reddit.
The fediverse is the future.
