Technically, Signal, Rocket Chat, and Matrix all have multi-party voice chat built in. You probably won't have a great time with it, and if you want video or screen sharing, you'll have an even worse time.

    Just tested out element and had no problem with screen sharing + video in a voice call. Haven't tried out the mobile app for that (but I haven't done that for discord either and on desktop, discord just doesn't screenshare like half the time for me)

    I'm kind of shocked if you had a decent/superior time and Element vs Discord, especially if you're in Windows! This is a case where I hope I can be proven wrong.

    Discord facilitates large audio and video calls, but if Element can manage even a handful of people at once, I would be impressed. In my experience, it hasn't, but such things are kind of hard to test.
