    Hosting can be annoying.

    Discord only requires downloading a file, entering your email, clicking an activation link (optional), and opening a “discord server” link. They have completely nailed an easy gaming chat/voice service compared to something like Teamspeak.

    Otherwise I guess now you’d be setting up a Matrix server, dealing with port forwards (if you’re not behind CG-NAT) or possibly paying $15/mo for a barebones VPS… You could probably use someone else’s Matrix server, but then there’s the fun of handling voice chat/screen sharing, so now you’re off to figure out hosting Jitsi and setting up DDNS, etc…

      Makes a lot of sense. The audience is young and they would want an easy interface to install ! Thanks you for explaining!
