What it does
Nextcloud Talk provides individual and group chat, audio and video calls, and screen sharing within Nextcloud. Its product page describes on-premises hosting, encrypted calls on an organization’s server, and integrations with Files and Groupware.
Talk is a fit for organizations that want messaging and meetings alongside files while retaining control of hosting. The vendor describes individual and group chat, mobile apps, screen sharing, and integrations with other Nextcloud services.
