I use Discord now since most of my friends are on it, but I've always been a fan of Mumble (and murmur server) since it's high quality software and open source.

I also made https://guildbit.com years ago for gamers that want to just quickly spin up a temporary server with their friends. I still operate it today since there's still a few users out there.

I think it would be cool if someone were to create an open source Discord clone using Mumble/murmur.

I'm a huge fan of guildbit, it makes it really easy to get a quick temporary server. We use it all the time.

Thank you! I'm glad you like it! :)

Here's a mumble web client: https://github.com/Johni0702/mumble-web

Indeed, I've just found it myself! That's something I've wanted for literally years. Wit a bit of polish, this could be a credible one-click alternative to most proprietary solutions. It just needs to see some murmur integration. Being able to embed this inside a Riot chat room is a nice touch as well, but that kind of integration is always a double-edged sword with Matrix clients, as it will only work on electron apps.

There is also a WebRTC bridge, it seems: https://github.com/Rantanen/mumble-web

This submission reminded me of Mumble, which I'm definitely going to use instead of trying to come up with a common WebRTC platform, that works for every one of us.

I think mattermost is working on a couple plugin.
