I got the self hosted version up and it looks like it's a much older version than their current iteration which was a kick in the teeth. Nothing discouraging quite like "Well you can self host if you don't mind a worse version of the product". Like my dudes I'm trying to take some pressure off of your server...
Yeah, no voice chat is a bummer. I haven't tried, but my first instinct was, that's a VM right there.

Stoat doesn't have screen sharing. Teamspeak 6 does though
Teamspeak isn't open source... Use Mumble, MediaMTX or Matrix instead.
Go ahead
Mumble doesn't do screen sharing, matrix screen sharing barely works and flat out doesn't support Wayland and breaks with a number of games if your on windows. Basically making both not an option. No idea about mediamtx.
Please, im already erect. You don't have to keep selling it. Ts6 it is.
Stop! Youre gojng too fast! Your gonna have to learn how to make it last longer!
Ts6 server owners need a sub. Clients are fine. I've used to since ts2. Those guys are good ppl. Not a big team. Just making good software for voice chat groups. I'll never not love ts even though I don't use it anymore.
If I could convince my communities to swap, I'd do it in a heartbeat. The new one is great.
All they would have to do is get a web interface and host on there servers with a nitro type deal and they could kill discord right now
