Teamspeak 6 with the teamspeak 6 beta server is a great solution for my small community. I’m hosting a dedicated server on my mini PC that is used just for servers.
Has voice chat, text chat, screen share (whether it is streaming video games, your desktop, or webcam). The streaming is peer 2 peer, meaning there’s no restriction on streaming quality except what your Internet can handle. Audio quality is amazing.
Since you appear to have some experience and technical capacity I have some questions for you
Selfhost is wonderful, but how secure is it when exposed for public access?
Is it a PITA to get into like say Immich if you want to share it to friends and family, where you have to play shenanigans with say OpenVPN having them connect to your home via VPN or Tailscale to share it?
Teamspeak allows for your server to have a nickname, effectively a DNS by TeamSpeak. Open ports on the router and firewall and you’re good to go, no need to share IP addresses.
