Looking for a family chat/call solution for windows and android which does not require a phone number and is children friendly.
Currently I use synology chat (since I have a sinology NAS) but it is not very good and does not support voice/video calls.
The only acceptable alternative which I can think of is Matrix. Are there any other options?
Sounds like really a lot of overhead starting from hosting. What are the benefits over public matrix server?
Ease of install
Using a public matrix service requires zero efforts to install.
