Hi there, I was intrigued by the idea of self-hosting my social media accounts, but was more or less a complete noob with all things hosting. However, with the help of the community here (and quite a few hours spent on it) I finally have a working setup! Mastodon, Matrix, Lemmy, Nextcloud all self-hosted behind Nginx Proxy Manager.

Google can find a lot of answers, but sometimes some really specific input is needed - which you guys have provided over the last couple of weeks - so I just wanna say thank you for that!

Does matrix support video calls? Our family uses Google Meet for group calls. Been thinking of a self-hosted alternative.

I use Synapse as the Matrix server and Element as client on desktop and mobile. It does support video calls, but so far I only tested it for a minute.

It's pretty solid for 1:1 calls, and they are currently working on Matrix's own conferencing protocol/solution.
But until then you could set up a Jitsi Meet instance along with Matrix to run multiple user calls.

I once tried. Too difficult for my technical knowledge. Or maybe the server was not powerful enough. Just 1 GB of RAM.

Plus, Jitsi Meet will allow you publicly available video conferencing which is really nice to have on its own. ;-)

I don't think it does, but take a look at Jitsi Meet! It's very good

[–] russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net 3 points 3 years ago (1 children)

You can get the best of both worlds actually. Matrix supports doing video calls through Jitsi Meet!

I want to say that for 1-to-1 calls it does video natively, and for group video calls it uses Jitsi Meet.

Oh, very cool!
