What is it?

Nextcloud Talk is an app for the Nextcloud self-hosted file and collaboration platform. It provides text chat, audio and video calls, and screen sharing for conversations that are kept on your own server.

Conversations can be private, group, public or password protected. Chats can share files from Nextcloud Files or a local device and mention other participants. Users on different Nextcloud servers can also chat through federation.

The app integrates with other Nextcloud apps such as Files, Calendar, Contacts, Deck and Dashboard. It can also bridge conversations with other chat services through Matterbridge. Installation is done from the Nextcloud App Store, and a TURN server is needed for users behind strict firewalls or symmetric NATs.
