Run your own voice and chat
Guides for friend groups, gaming clans and LAN hosts who want voice and chat on hardware they control. Each one answers a single question, cites the official docs it relies on, and says when it was last checked.
Guides
- Self-hosted Discord alternatives for small friend groups: Matrix/Element, Stoat, Fluxer, Mumble, TeamSpeak and SILOD, and what each one asks of you.
- How to set up voice chat for a LAN party: a local server with Mumble, TeamSpeak or SILOD, and what each one needs from the network.
- TeamSpeak vs Mumble vs Discord (and SILOD): cost, who runs the server, encryption and setup.
