I'm not sure about what you mean by video (using cameras, or posting videos) But I did check out Teamspeak, as I used to use it a long time ago, and it's a nice medium between ease of use products like discord and security minded folks who use things like Matrix.

Either way, Teamspeak did add screen sharing, and the cost to host a server is about the price of a nitro sub. That's if you don't self host, which is always an option and makes things free.

It's probably going to be the best option to convince my friends to finally leave discord's ecosystem. Haven't liked it since they started adding in bs like quests and the shop, it's only a matter of time before it enshittifies so bad my friend group will be looking for a way to jump ship.

I mean video calls. I play ttrpgs online and that's a must for me.
