Which general topic do you have

With Discord’s recent announcement that they’re require a face scan or a picture of a government issued ID in order to prove you’re an adult, my gaming group is looking for a self-hosted solution for chat, voice and video.

So, I’m curious if I could run Nextcloud Talk + High Performance Backend on an 8GB Raspberry Pi 5 for a weekly 4 hour voice and video session for 6 people. I have bidirectional Gigabit Internet, so bandwidth should not be an issue. Just curious if a Pi5 could handle the voice and video, or if I need something beefier.

Probably depends on your needs.
If you are just looking for chat and voice, my friends and I run mumble (that is the desktop user client) in combination with murmur (that is the server part).

The OP asked for chat, voice and VIDEO.

So why bringing up another software not fullfilling their needs?

@wwe Can you give some thoughts on here?

I have no experience with Pi - I would test. I can confirm Talk video call works for 4-5 participants with and without HPB on Intel Core i7 6700.. with AiO it should be easy to start a quick test - as long quality is good enough you can improve.. otherwise if the only goal is video likely more specialised alternatives are better suited (e.g. Jitsi)..
